Lunch today is tuna salad after which I may need my third cup of coffee (which is a lot for me).
I did not get around to inking yesterday, and today I felt like I'd rather get some more pencils in, so set myself up for two not entirely easy pages. For this segment of the book I'm channeling a combination of Chris Ware, J.H.Williams III, James Harvey, and Steve Ditko.
It may sound like an odd combination, but trust me, there's an area of comix storytelling in which they all overlap. The switch in art styles always requires some serious recalibration from me but I enjoy getting to experiment.
Several things to do today though that are likely to slow me down; Gotta Skype in (or Zoom in rather) to an art history class [I was asked to “speak at”] in like half an hour. After that I'd like to get in a quick exercise because I've been putting it off for a several days already.
Started Asimov's FOUNDATION trilogy last night (which I've blasphemously never read), and skimmed a few of Image Comics' first issues, of which I thoroughly enjoyed Daniel Warren Johnson's MURDER FALCON and THE NEW WORLD by Ales Kot and Tradd Moore. Fantastic stuff!
