So after only 2 weeks with my new tablet, here it is, page 32. The pencils were already done but even with the tablet this page was way more complex than anything I’d done before. I deliberately made the background a complete piece on it’s own which effectively doubled the amount of layers I was working on. I’ll post it in a couple of days so you can see it by it self. I think 2 weeks isn’t too bad considering that also includes learning how to use and getting used to the tablets quirks and intricacies. Oh and the ability to go back and fix things with the minimum of fuss after inking is just awesome… plus I can add things at any time which is dangerous because while I save so much time inking digitally I waste a lot playing and adding.

All told I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out and am starting to feel quietly confident about what I’ll be able to accomplish in the future. I’m not going to go and rashly promise regular updates quite yet as I have a few side projects that I have promised to do that, while not paid, are all definitely worthwhile and will be good practice and force me to stretch my boundaries further. Despite those I am still pretty confident I can at least give you a new page more often than once a month.

Please, feel free to let me know what you think either privately or in the comments below. I’d love to know if you can see a difference between this and previous pages. And don’t be afraid to criticise… as long as it’s constructive, otherwise I’ll cry and short out my keyboard, or worse… the tablet!
