Hi there,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally I reached the time of year, where I have a long vacation during my
|
||
|
|
apprenticeship, so I can relax a bit. In theory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reality looks a bit different, though. With me moving out of my old place
|
||
|
|
because of reconstruction works, some paperwork that's been piling up alongside
|
||
|
|
personal projects which beg for my attention I am quite busy. But it is still
|
||
|
|
relaxing, since I have no schedule apart from the schedule I make up myself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One project that receives quite a lot of attention lately is a short comic I am
|
||
|
|
drawing. After reading some books on comic drawing and structuring I am trying
|
||
|
|
to apply some of the findings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example I never really did storyboarding or panel layout before. Everything
|
||
|
|
was more or less on a whim and from the top of my head. That's not bad per se,
|
||
|
|
but can make things difficult when not being able to work on a comic page
|
||
|
|
continuously.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Another thing that's really helpful for my motivation is that with a proper
|
||
|
|
plan and structure of my comic I get quite a good sense of progression while
|
||
|
|
drawing. The number of pages turns finite and you can focus on drawing and not
|
||
|
|
worry about the story for the next panel or page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When th comic is finished, I will release it on my [art portfolio](https://art.nek0.eu)
|
||
|
|
in its entirety.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately my endeavours in prosa writing came to a full halt, but maybe I
|
||
|
|
an fix my problems with writing in a similar way like I did with my comic
|
||
|
|
drawing, but I will have to make some research there.
