A day late, but at least this one got done within the week it was intended for.
I’m quite proud of the layout on this one. I know it’s still a traditional 3×3 grid at heart, but the way the forest takes over the little girl’s panels feels right. Still having issues with drawing eyes (and faces in general, really). I need to work on them.
I set up my phone to shoot timelapse footage of my pencilling process on Uninvited Guests page 9, so you could get a look at the page coming together. I certainly look more confident at high speed than I feel when I’m putting lines on paper.
No Uninvited Guests page this week, as other commitments put me behind schedule. Here’s some sketches I did that are going to be dropped into the background of pages. I drew them from a photo taken at weddings last year.
I’ve got some more that aren’t scanned yet. The first you see of them may be on a finished page.
Artistically, this page was about trying to improve my abilities with faces and consistent likenesses. I’ve still got a way to go, I know.
Story wise, this is an attempt at a montage. William is meeting people he hasn’t seen for a while, updating them on how things are going, and telling the same story to them all (slightly different with each iteration). You get to meet supporting characters, and read some back story as well.
