Self-imposed comics rehab, day 16

I did work on comics today. I did. I just didn’t draw.

I didn’t make time during the weekend to clean and prepare the pages for posting. Therefore, I did them today, or at least I started to. Since the third page needs to be composited, that’s what took the longest. In fact, it’s not completely done because in the process of copying and pasting the repeating panel and layering in the minor changes, I noticed that something in the original drawing needed to be different in the subsequent occurrences: when birds fly, they don’t stay in one place. So, I had to copy, paste, and move the flying birds in each of the subsequent copies of the panel to reflect the passage of time. As such, in the amount of time I dedicated to finishing up post-production, I almost finished.

I’ll be able to finish tomorrow, and I’ll be sure to draw something, too. Today felt like a cheat day, but post-production is still an important part of making comics so I don’t feel too bad about skipping the drawing table. I just need to make sure it doesn’t happen very often.
