After the cold open, the splash page.
This isn’t as busy as I’d like. Part way through drawing it, I looked at a photo of a table I took at a wedding last year, and realised there should be way more glasses and other stuff. I added a bunch of details in, but it’s still not as packed as I want.
I didn’t pencil this, either, working from 3D models imported into Manga Studio. I think they’ll be useful for background elements, but don’t really work as the main focus of the image.
I learn a bit more with each page, though, so- onwards!

As well as digitally inking this page, I also sketched the figures from my Daz posed reference images, rather than using the light box to trace their proportions, when I did the pencils. It feels freer this way, though I wish I’d done a better job on Rosemary’s mother in the third panel. All the pages, and the script, are open to revision later on, when I’m more confident of my art, or need to come back and make changes for the sake of continuity.

This is the first page I’ve ever digitally inked in Manga Studio. I fully expect to come back and tweak it- maybe even redraw it completely- after my competence and confidence has increased.

Sunday Morning Manchester Ride
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while. Today, I finally got around to it.
Getting up at 4am, I had a cup of tea, pumped the bike’s tyres up to a good running pressure, and headed into Manchester city centre. I videoed my ride around some random streets, and added some music, and here it is.
Okay, it’s no C’etait Un Rendezvous, but I had fun. If someone would like to lend me an electric motored mountain bike, and maybe some GoPros, I’d have a go at a point to point across the city centre, with a higher speed up the hills, and overall. (I might set out later, though. I hadn’t expected there to be so many people still around at 5am. Maybe at 7 or 8, the clubbers would mostly have made it home, and there’d be fewer cabs on the road.)
