This sketch took me forever. It’s always a pain when there’s a lot of dialogue, and whenever there’s a lot of character interaction I try real hard to get a lot of angles so that the page isn’t too flat. This usually results in a lot of redrawing and repositioning of panels, which can be quite time consuming as attempts build up. Add on my poor sleep schedule and we get a late update. At least the sketch is done and that issue’s out of the way for now.

Another late update but another page that took a long time to do. Lots of hand interaction in these pages along with a lot of use of perspective, so it’s been a bit of a struggle in the sketch phases. The perspective in the center panel was especially difficult since I usually have trouble with those single point perspectives centered in the panel since the scaling is so sharp. Could be worse though…at least there was only one Omnitrix shot.

Super late update with this but my sleep schedule is still super dead. I really need to try and fix it, but sketching has been so difficult for me lately as I’ve been adding a lot more details than usual to the recent pages. I’ve also been having mental blocks on deciding on layouts and dialogue for things.

In this particular page I’m unsure how I will be doing the final panel. I didn’t detail the chair because the details will end up getting too confusing if I added any more in this stage, but after finishing the sketch I’m now thinking I may do the table with full opacity and just add transparency to show what Gwen’s doing with her hand. For this reason the lines may very well have less detail there than this sketch.

Interestingly this sleeping posture for Gwen is canon. I remember catching the scene ages ago when it first aired on TV and it of course caught my attention. In the scene she wasn’t in her pajamas, which it seems the artists often forgot she had canon pajamas since episode 3 of the series. It took me some time to hunt it down when I was looking for screenshots as I readied for this comic but it was worth it.

Side note, I’m not sure if I’ll be keeping the socks on Ben in the lines. I realized after looking at the references again that not all of the pajama shots I have put socks on Max or Ben, although Gwen seems to always have socks on with her pajamas.
