Hello hello hello!
This week we have just a mini-update entry for you. A little while ago I did a post about having a Hair Guide as a key to help readers know what time the stories were taking place, instead of having to write things like 'When I was 16' or 'Back in 2005' over and over again.
For that previous blog entry (which you can read in full here) I used a guide I'd already drawn for another project. Since then, my drawing style has changed slightly, so I thought an update was in order.
At the graphic novel draft read-through party I held, I explained that I would be having this hair guide to help the readers know what's going on with the timeline, and it was suggested that I should do an accompanying guide for Rob. I hadn't really thought about this before as I never really saw Rob as having differing hairstyles. But the more I thought about them, the more differences I saw.
That's it for this week. I'm off to a Comic Art Workshop reunion thing in Melbourne this weekend. So hopefully I'll have time to work on next's week post about working with mentors this year in-between workshops and serious discussions about comics.
Be well pals,
Gx
Following on from my last post about how the design of the characters in my graphic novel, Oh Brother, have changed over the 7-ish years I’ve been working on the book, this post is about my absolute favourite thing: drawing emotions!
