Day 42 - Pages 40, 41 and 42




Three AWESOME pages, plus I am now all caught up! One of the main reasons I did these so quickly is because not only did I not have to do much coloring on the last page, but also because I wasn't shading anything! 
So let's get down to the pages. This was a chance for me to make Thumbs-Up Man waaay more annoying then usual. Also, I needed a cool plot twist to keep me interested in the story. 
So, I brought in the color gun. Man, everything seems to go wrong in Zach's shop, doesn't it?

So anyway, I figured out that the next part, (Tall Order), will start on page 73. Cool, huh?

Stay tuned for more FANTASTIC news!

Day 24 - Page 22, Page 23, and Page 24





THREE PAGES! So I churned all of these out pretty quickly but they all are the same as when I was only doing one. WHEW. I really don't have much to say, as I am completely worn out, but I'm now adding to the slideshow and I hope you will read that.

Oh, also -- The comic is now 24 pages long! Which means it could be now sold in a comic store as a full length comic! Yay!

Day 22 - Page 21


Well, this minimizes my work! I now only have to do three pages on Sunday and put them up on Monday! So I'm not that behind. WHEW. Now if I could only get a little ahead. That would be great.

Okay, so for the first time ever I printed out the comic so far. Wow. 20 pages doesn't look like a lot on the computer, but I could hardly staple the thing when I had printed it out!

Anyway, that's all for today. I'll post again on Monday with three brand spanking new pages!

Day 11 - Page 11


Page 11. Whew. I don't have any "extra" pages to do, or anything. Now I am completely caught up.
Which is a very good thing. Now for...

How It Works

I said before that I wanted to tell you the steps of making a page. Well, I'm doing that now.

Step 1: I Draw The Page
I use a pen to do the page. I don't use pencil, and I fix mistakes I made on the page on the computer.

Step 2: I Scan The Page
My printer lets me scan things into my computer, so I can have the new page ready easily and fast.

Step 3: I Prepare for Color
I fill out breaks in the lines, and darken everything, to prepare for coloring.

Step 4: I Color
I color in the characters, backgrounds, and everything.

Step 5: I Shade
I shade in the characters and sometimes the background.

Step 6: I Put It In Comic Life
I stick it in Comic Life, I put in the speech balloons, etc.

And there you have it!

Now imagine doing all those steps everyday. Or, on Sundays, twice. Even without the penciling its hard work. Anyway, I set up a nice little slideshow so that you can see the whole comic Without scrolling down all these posts and just have a nice time.

Click the image below to go to the page where you can see the slideshow, and enjoy. Please note that you can also see the slideshow in fullscreen mode, which is much much better.
