Summer Won't Last pg. 22 - Process Timelapses and Manuscript
Added 2025-03-20 18:07:08 +0000 UTCA while ago a received a request from Artufex, who wanted to see a timelapse of my comic page creation process. I wanted to wait for a more meaningful page before I did that, and I feel like 22 was a great spot for it.
I basically saved each phase as a new file and refreshed the CSP recording so you get a full minute of sketching, a full minute of lines and a full minute of colors. This process adds unnecessary file size and some additional effort, so while I'm glad I did it for this page, this isn't a process I'll be repeating often, or at all. 😅
Also included is the crude manuscript version of the page. Ages ago, I basically drew the entire comic like this over a couple of days. The text also acts as a sort of "sketch" for the finalized dialogue, carrying the gist of the intention. Sometimes, it serves well enough to make it to the final page, and sometimes it is rearranged, completely rewritten or erased. Maybe one day I will publish the entire crude manuscript for a laugh
I hope this pleases anyone who's interested in these sorts of progression posts!

Glad I you got something out of this! I enjoy sharing my process. I'm considering streaming at some point, too, but who knows when I'll make that leap 😅

2025-04-12 17:08:05 +0000 UTCThank you! I really appreciate getting to see the process. I also really appreciate seeing your rough sketch! I feel like I almost never get to see artists' work starting from the blank canvas, so it seems like they just make these "perfect" drawings out of nowhere which is intimidating. I know a lot of that skill comes from a shit-ton of practice, but it's still nice to see art that looks like something I could do! I also wanna try making my own speech bubbles in the future rather than relying on CSP's balloon tool
