Just finished inking page 1 of my #ravencomic. I never expected the layering of grey to be so enjoyable! The water-ink solution has become a bit slimey over the week... should mix a new one soon.

A bit out if focus photo of a panel from page 4. And some behind the scenes mess! I wish I had a drawing desk to leave this stuff out for days, but the kitchen table will do as well.
I think I'm ready to tackle page one. Am I??? The stakes are high with that one.

A corner of page 2 and the beginnings of page 3 of my #ravencomic. I decided to use brushes for the most of it. Pen for lettering, an old toothbrush for sprays. Black, grey, and white ink. Maybe white Poscas, if needed. It'll be imperfect and that's alright.

A taste of the inked & printed panel from page 6 of #ravencomic! There's a few hiccups I need to sort, but all in all, it looks quite good.
(Yes, I'll center the lettering...)

Only three more pages left to polish before scanning, printing, inking, lettering, fixing, cleaning, scanning, editing, and printing again, and having the final comic in my greasy paws!
So basically I'm at the finishing line, right?

Nine pages left! That's less than ten! Here's an example of a face I'm super content with. Usually I'm not happy with the faces I draw, but the inking phase will once again shuffle things, hopefully for the better.

#ravencomic update, only 13 pages (out of 48) left to polish before inking! I've been on a sidequest (will let ypu kmow if anything grows out of it), but now it's time to make this boulder roll again.

wohohoo, 1/3 of the pages are ready for inking! I mean it's only 4 pages more than the last time but still. I think I can scribble two more tonight. That's 18. Then only 30 left. And covers, haven't even thought of covers... full black?

I'm still hoping this to be finished next spring.

6/48 pages have now been marked with a cross = ready to be inked. This is the last round with a pencil, fixing little mistakes, adding details. There'll still be errors left and subpar drawings, but 'perfect is the enemy of good'.

Is it dumb to scribble so many sticks and leaves and stuff I'm probably going to miss when inking? I try to show love to each panel. Work slowly, find the feeling of it like it was the final version.

Happy happy #comics post: I've finally gone through each character in each panel, one by one, fixing this and redrawing that. Now's the time to polish the backgrounds (mostly forest). And _then_ to inking...

Baby steps, #ravencomic moving forward. I just finished checking ~20 pages worth of wings that they're about anatomically acceptable. And made sure Raven has the scruffy neckfeathers in every panel he's in. Boring, but important(?)

An inkdrawing of Toad, one of the meanies from my upcoming #ravencomic. It's so lovely to draw outside again! And super satisfying to pull the ink with the water brush ❤️
I aim to use a brush and india ink for the comic, but this makes me think should I use watersoluble ink instead...

On summer holiday (starting now), have been to gym twice this week, pizza, a happy dog (armpit scratches are his fave), going to garden centre today AND I've pencilled all 48 pages of #ravencomic!!!
There's still lots of fine tuning, but it's one huge step closer to inking ❤️

#comics update, I'm on page 36 already. So ready to throw away the pencil and pick up the inking brush! The last half (or so) of the story is (almost) silent, cos Toad and Raven can't talk. So they have to mime their intentions pretty heavily.

#pencilling my #ravencomic, now on page 11! I see the story dividing into three parts, and where moving here from 1st to 2nd. The antagonist, a sage called Satatieto is crossing the line between the reality and the spirit world.

#ravencomic #pencilling page 6. I've kept the momentum by drawing whatever feels good, skipping things I know I'd get stuck on. That way it doesn't matter if I've only 15 mins, I can still draw something. And come back to the difficult bits when I have the time (and the right headspace).

Started the final pencilling of my #ravencomic, on page 3 at the moment. I plan on not proceeding in page order, but rather pick what I feel like drawing. Forests, horses, people, the weird mutant animals, the spirit world, sound effects... or work on the dialogue. One massive todo list!

Starting the final pencils of #ravencomic, the 48 pages are printed and panels have been lined. I probably won't start at page 1 but jump back and forth, drawing whatever I feel at the moment. Forests, horses, people, raven, toad, ... lots to choose from.
