📒 Comics Cave Continues 📒

A cartoon panel of two people standing on a beach, one with long wavy hair and wearing a stripy orange shirt shaking the other person who has short brown hair and wearing a baggy red button up shirt. The person in the orange top is saying “Ahh, nonsesne, you’re great at drawing!

I’m crawling out from my comics hermit cave to share a panel from a recently finished page of my upcoming graphic novel, Oh Brother.

The deadlines have been crunchy, so I’ve going to head back to the cave now. But I’m hoping to pop in over the next few weeks and share a few snippets of the book when I can. I’m excited about how the colours are looking and can’t wait to share more with you all!

I’m deep in the inking of the book at the moment (although I had to colour a few pages to make sure I’d set my files up correctly - which is where this panel comes from). It’s exciting to finally get to the stage of the book where I can start really seeing the final work coming together.

But because my deadlines are really tight, I’m going to be pretty absent from the world (both online and in real life) for the next four months. However, I will be sending out a few newsletters over that time with updates and sneak peeks at pages I’ve been working on. So make sure you sign up to my newsletter to keep to keep up to date with my book-based shenanigans.

In very exciting news, I’ve just finished and sent in the pencils for the final chapter of my graphic novel, Oh Brother! This is by no means the end of the hard work (I’ve still got take on final edits and then ink & colour the book!) but it’s a huge step along the way to finishing and publishing my first graphic novel.

Because the book deadlines are super tight, I’m not going to be able to post too much here for next few months. So if you want to keep up to date with what I’m up to (and see more sneak peeks of the book), sign up to my newsletter (link in bio). I send out a little update at the end of each month with some behind the scenes looks at my work and links to any upcoming events I’m doing (pssst, I’m sending out my next newsletter tomorrow).

Alright, I’m going to go nap for a bit now so I’m refreshed and ready to start inking next week! 💪
