It’s kind of depressing when I think about all the drawing I do that no one ever actually sees.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are of course the rough drafts and thumbnail sketches\/preliminary drawings that I make when I plan out a story\/page.\u00a0 Planning out the page takes almost as much time as drawing it out.\u00a0 You’re talking about four of five pages of sketches for each page I do.\u00a0 How much of that is beneficial and how much is neurosis is debatable…I tell myself it’s debatable, the correct answer is probably 10%.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Then, because I still do things old school (for now) and glue the work balloons to the page…I cover up about 5% of finished, inked illustrations. Some of it is just ceiling lines, but every once in a while I find myself gluing right over a ceiling fan that I spent an hour putting into 3 point perspective ( an argument against all that planning I talked about being beneficial).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I was going<\/strong> t<\/strong>o u<\/strong>se this for a cover but ended up writing the scene out of the book altogether, which is a real shame because it’s pretty cool.\u00a0 It would have sucked as a cover anyway though.\u00a0 It would have had <\/strong>to be a wrap around cover and when you look at just the right side…it’s not all that interesting.\u00a0 Luckily I <\/strong>realized all this before I finished and inked the bastard.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Also as I look at it now…there we all see a kitchen ceiling light that would have been covered by the logo….sigh.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
