Weekly comics progress update: 5-31-2009

Late post again.

While I am making progress on the graphic novel, it’s slow going. For one, I’m starting to nitpick over correctness, especially in perspective.

Second, I’m in the middle of scene where character development via exposition is taking place. This is always an interesting thing for me to draw because it challenges me to come up with ways to convey conversation in a visually impacting manner.

I have a few more pages left of this conversation and I can already feel myself getting sick of the scene. I suppose I could jump ahead and draw a different scene for a while, but I like working in chronological order. Tomorrow morning, I’ll have to figure out a way to bring back the spark I was feeling a few weeks ago.

The other thing I tried doing this past week was sitting down to draw. I started standing up to draw probably when I was doing Omnipotent Me because I liked the activeness of it (plus I could access more of the board that way) and I decided I wanted to keep the habit. However, with my hand hurting, I decided it was time to alter positions. For the most part, my hand hurts less when I sit to draw. Perhaps I’ll stand again when I hit the inking stage to see what happens.
