 It's so good! Where's the camera? The camera? Hello! Can you hear the music? So I just heard Chris coming into the room. I was like, I'm just doing, what are you doing? I also thought that the starting soon screen would be like not hearing us. So that was embarrassing. So today I'm going to be drawing my cover for the comic. I'm just going to show you guys what I've been working on this week as well because I'm starting to Hey! Pristine Wenz Is that how you say your name? Sorry if I completely bit you. But yeah, I've been busy this week. Can you hear the music? Everything. Let me know. The sounds are all good because I'm not a very good streamer but I like streaming a little bit. But yes, I'm working on the cover for the comic today and I'm busy setting up the Kickstarter this week after work and it's coming along and I'm hoping that I'm going to have it ready probably next week probably going to launch. Wanted to film the video and everything. Hey, how's everyone? But yeah, this was the two ideas I did for the banner for the Kickstarter. So one is our character falling into the frame but I didn't really like this one the way it was turning out, even though that was my main idea and then I did this one which is kind of giving me dringito vibes Hey Hannah, how are you doing? And yeah, so I went with this one and then I've added stuff from this end paper, which is going to be the end paper Hang on, let me just scrub. Emily is burning the end papers it'll show you what I mean by end paper you probably do know what I mean but I have Emily is burning which is the first comic I made and then I had these end papers inside which had a pattern of this stuff that was in the book or belonged to Emily or whatever. So for this one I did this to be the end papers because it's just little items, spooky items fun items, cute items from an antique store and that's going to be like the end paper inside here. I also think it's going to be maybe some stickers or like a print or something Emily is burning so iconic thank you what a compliment but yeah, this is going to be the end paper like Emily is burning and it's just been working hard on getting the kickstarter up and running basically. So this is the banner for the kickstarter but I was thinking of using like this as the cover of the comic but then I don't know I kind of want to do something different so it's just like more intriguing so I'm going to have in case you guys don't know what this comic is about I'm not sure if you've seen it or not but it's about a woman who buys a picture frame because inside the picture frame in an antique store is a person in a wedding dress who kind of looks like maybe she could be her relative like her mother or her grandmother and so she buys it because it's like a novelty right but then it's you know probably a little bit haunted and that's the story and I hope there's like some twists and turns it's a little bit generic when I give the base story hopefully it's when you read it it's going to be a little bit more a little bit more intrigue to it if that makes sense but yeah I'm just thinking of covers now and I was doing thumbnails last night and I think this is the one I like the most I was doing like all different ones like her falling again I don't know how well you can see the pencils but yeah falling oh hi mochi oh my gosh mochi mochi she's soaking wet and muddy oh my gosh one second guys that was a super close call because like it's raining outside and my cat just jumped through the window and her feet are all muddy so she nearly like ran across everything that done hey Elizabeth how's it going um yeah it's going good how do I usually get my ideas no idea honestly I just start thinking like well actually this idea came from I had this picture frame uh with my a picture of my parents wedding and it's like sort of faded and stuff and it like fell apart so I opened it up and I found like a letter of not a letter a um a snipping of like a newspaper because it was like helping wedge the photo and the frame together and it was just cool I don't know it's nothing of relevancy on the newspaper clipping but it was just interesting like oh what could be inside this frame and I started thinking like that and then about like maybe how we would also I live in Brighton and um there's this like thrift store here that has images of people's um old photos which is kind of like really bizarre but I don't know what why people would want people's old photos but you can but basically sift through like old photos black and white photos really old photos of like from people's families obviously they've you know been come from somewhere and it's like a bit weird uh but I find them really interesting to just look through I don't think I would ever buy one I was thinking like imagine if you did buy one and it was just completely haunted um so that was kind of my thinking behind this one I don't know what that screaming was outside and I don't know if you can hear it it's really annoying stop screaming go die somewhere else uh yeah so that's kind of like good morning Mackenzie you want to fly to Dallas well it's not early where I am it's like midday so but there you go how are you on a flight but with internet to live in that day and age yeah so I've kind of got um I've got like a spoiler page up here because I want to draw like the bride on the front cover um this is like evil bride and then here we've got a page that's been completed and yeah I just want to look at how I've drawn the bride because she looks quite sweet in the early stages you know quite a sweet bride but I'm not sure like how far I want to go for the front cover because it will be like a spoiler if she's completely crazy looking you know monster monstered up her ears are never showing as well I've noticed I've never drawn her ears but I want something like this and then I want because it will be cool to have the comic cover as if it was a frame and you're picking up this like picture as well when you've got the comic I think that would be quite fun oh yeah okay let's see so at the moment I'm just roughly drawing out what I might want to do we'll see how it works out because I want her sort of coming out of this frame which I think would be really fun also this is going to be the size of my other comics but it's going to be thicker and it's going to be what's it called bound not like stapled but probably bound this time so that's going to be exciting so I want to just get this rough shape yeah this is slowing all at once disappearance have I ever found it hard to create or make art yeah of course many times you know if you don't feel like it I actually did like a comparison video of my old sketchbook to this most recent one with this my last youtube video and basically it was like really interesting to see how you could like see within the old sketchbook that I was just kind of forcing myself to draw and I obviously didn't enjoy it and I found it difficult to create because I just wasn't really enjoying what I was doing and now it's completely different it's like I pick up stuff because I want to draw and I get a bit tense if I haven't drawn for a while like I feel like as creators we kind of just we have to draw or we have to do something creative or we get a bit grumpy even though sometimes that could be the inner battle right because it's like you find it hard maybe to create but you want to create if you're burnt out you want to create but you're just too tired or if you're down or whatever or if you don't just you just don't like whatever you're doing yeah it can be hard for sure I think that's the infinite struggle isn't it of an artist I need to make her bigger actually really like the idea of just having her like as if she's in the frame normally so I'm going to scrap this idea because I think that would be like so cool to just have when you pick up the comic you're also picking up the frame with the haunted picture inside and I think that would be really cool that's an idea so let's try that I need a ruler and I can't find one it's so typical I never need a ruler but then when you need it it's like nowhere to be found when you do need a ruler it's like always there I just have to use hand difficult because I'm drawing at an angle because of the livestream well not drawing at an angle but I'm slightly offset from the picture this is kind of rough because I'm going to do the same thing I always do where I draw alcohol markers on the back and then I colour in with the alcohol markers and then I do the line work on this side so that's the idea for this one as well welcome to the livestream guys welcome along we're doing the front cover of picture this my latest comic which is coming along graphic novel style I really want to think about the type as well because I always leave the title a little bit after as an afterthought I really like the title of Emily is Burning I really like the style of writing if that makes sense and what did I do for this one this one I don't like that much the typography I did kind of regret that a little bit it kind of works and I like the picture a lot I need to think a little bit about how I'm going to type this why is the music stopped can you hear the music by the way anyone just to be clear Chris does no live streaming he's just that weird other comics connected um I did really think about having a scene in this this comic where it's connected slightly to Emily is Burning but then I thought that's too like on the nose the way I was going to do it but I think that I think they are in the same universe creepy universe where ghosts and stuff exists and what else yeah I think all my comics are kind of in the same universe I think can't hear the music hey flow how's it going we are drawing the front cover of picture this this looks a bit weird but I need to fix it picture this don't know if I want capital T or not for this bit I'm trying to think so I'll have enough space here for her which is not that much space I'm in between the idea of doing the text myself or doing it on the computer so I'm just trying to think how it might look if I do it myself and this is looking a bit too like bubbly I think like a bit too high school draw bubble letters on your projects maybe I need a bit sharper maybe sharper maybe sharpen up some of the letters I can always adjust it on photoshop because I know I'm not going to get that in the center because that just seems impossible right but yeah I think it's a nice idea to have it like this is the picture frame then I'll put my name down here maybe in like one of those little dots but then it looks like that's me but whatever this is the banner for the Kickstarter I'll show you guys the banner for the Kickstarter because I've changed it a little bit for the for the actual Kickstarter like I changed it on my photoshop I want to show you guys what it looks like because I want your thoughts can I go to it this is annoying let me try okay forget it I can't show you you have to wait and see until next week when I launch the Kickstarter I guess or you've seen the thumbnail of this video that's what it kind of looks like but it's this but with bits of these guys cut out and stuck in yeah so this is going to be the end paper for those who didn't see before picture this I think I want more room for her let's try drawing her I'm streaming I'm going to eat everyone's ear off this is kind of sweet I think I need just to change this put it closer up artist market nice good luck Chrissy what are you selling are you selling or are you just going I guess you're selling because you wouldn't be like I'm getting ready to go right have you tried journaling through comics well I did do like a comic a day ages years ago now for a year where I just drew like slice of life comics so I don't that doesn't really cow but sort of I've definitely done there's a journal where you draw like a picture a day that's not really journaling but you describe your day and I really like looking back on that I thought was really cool it's just effort though you know I'm selling I make different things cool super cool let's draw her a bit more so I'm just going to be like really rough I really wanted her to be coming out of the frame a little bit but I think I don't know would that be cool just her arm it's like doesn't really it doesn't really work earrings and resin stuff nice I don't know what song this is but I was thinking in a long run don't really make sense I've always drawn her like facial features to be really soft and like kind of not existent so I want to keep that kind of vibe so this will be black and white maybe I'll have her face in like shadow as well not sure it doesn't really matter what I draw here because I'm going to be using the other side anyway yeah but the veil could come down a bit behind maybe okay I kind of like that it's interesting oh you're too sad to draw right anything that's sad there like I get you I did have like one here that was like maybe some of these items are falling but I don't know if that really works here because I really like the idea of people picking up this picture frame kind of wish I made her bigger now I might do that in Photoshop make her like up to here and put picture of this up here in like this kind of size picture this definitely going to do that okay so I'm going to continue with this drawing because I've sketched it out but in Photoshop I'm going to stretch her to be bigger good luck Chrissy hope you make money lots of people buy you beautiful things okay yeah I really like this idea okay I'm going to go with this I've got too many pencil scritches pencil scritches well I can like Photoshop it so I can get these little any cute little items I can put around the frame maybe let's see even though it's supposed to be black and white I always draw her with like this kind of really really pale skin I don't know why I did that because it's kind of a black and white image but I guess it was just to differentiate her a little bit from the pale just need to rub out the lines slightly otherwise they stain through the page also what's underneath here let's use my old one as staining thing so that's kind of her face let's keep going I've used like this dark deep blue a lot in the comics so it makes sense to kind of try and add it here it's completely out I don't know if I have a refill for this one try a lighter blue I think that would not be the music is a bit intense isn't it need some more chill color the frame first and see how that looks would be cool to do like semi realistic frame or just make it look like it's 3D a little bit that would like I think be so interesting because the story is obviously about picking up this frame this haunted picture so if you have the comic maybe you're haunted like would be interesting Chris has been really loud like he would move out the light on it just talking about how the light is kind of too much I don't know you guys let me know but yeah I'm going to draw the frame but yeah it would be I think yeah this is definitely the way to go because I really like the idea of creeping people out which is the kind of the point of a horror comic right Chris is sitting right next to me by the guy by the guy by the way he was right next to me oh good I picked one of the pens that is slightly running out that's always great let's see how it looks what kind of paper do you use this for seriously bog standard printer paper because I really like the way that it beads through the paper it kind of gives that printed stamped impression I don't know so how's everyone doing so that's fine if you want to look just look so my idea is to have the Kickstarter up and running next Saturday um and yeah see how we do a bit nervous about it because last Kickstarter I did was Emily is burning and that went really well so I'm just hoping that it goes well again because I've been working on this comic now for probably like a year maybe on and off but still so I'm quite nervous about it I definitely think it's like probably the best one I've made so far not that I don't love all my babies all my comic babies it's definitely the longest one probably much though but still the second need to blow my nose it's like really dark now I can't tell the stream look at my stream Chris it's delayed oh it looks really dark on my screen oh well it's best I can do guys don't have a fancy equipment I've had a better camera I always thought this webcam this logic tech webcam was so good that I owned it for a while I'm like it's not that good like when I watch other people I'm like oh this then I know that they have this camera I'm like this looks good well yeah so if you've just joined because I don't know people are coming and going I'm doing the cover for the next comic picture this and I want to do scary ghost lady form the picture on the front cover so then if you pick this comic up you are also haunted let's go for doing some other stuff it's just too light I need a darker grey yeah they kickstarter for this comic is gonna be live next week and I'm slightly anxious I am working after work every day trying to get the rewards and stuff figured out because I'm gonna do a bundle as well of like all my past comics with it I think that would be cool so this was the end paper that I did this week so the end papers already showed some of you guys this if you're still here from the beginning but Emily is burning as one of my first comics and this is kind of the end paper I did for that so I wanted something cool so this sort of antiques cute scary weird bizarre antiques that might be a few stickers not sure yet if I want to do a sticker sheet or what for the rewards but it might be quite fun maybe a bookmark this is the old comic and this is the new comic hi definitely enjoying this comic nearly finished it yeah this is one of the pages if you're interesting if you're interesting can't speak if you're interested but yeah I'm drawing the front cover which is gonna be basically the story is about a woman who loves to go to thrift stores and antique stores and she sees a picture that looks like it could be a relative like her mother or her grandmother or something just someone who looks a bit like her family in her eyes and she buys it because it's like a normal tube but then spooky things start to happen and it's not good it's not good guys um yeah that's kind of where I'm at and just figuring out the rewards and the process for that is like a whole job in itself I'm sure you guys if you've done a Kickstarter before know that figuring it all out is difficult um so I need to film a video as well for the Kickstarter and I was thinking what I would do is like introduce it and then like fade to black and just have like this creepy person standing there or something or that would be quite a fun way to do it maybe we could zoom in a little bit here Chris let's see how it turns out could just be an ugly stage of the drawing how's everyone doing today, what are you working on let me know introduce a bit of colour artist illustrator inspires me most for horror comics Junji Ito I really like Joy San as well lots of people I think it's like we're so lucky to be in this age we are with social media because you can just look online and just be instantly inspired by the work other people are doing and I think it's really we're really lucky to have that not just like just inspired by stuff they draw but also like their mentality their work ethic loads of different things and yeah I really get inspired when people work hard because I'm like I want to work hard as well like that and I think yeah that inspires me a lot if I see people just like doing stuff I'm like I want to do stuff too I think that's very important I also went to art school I guess for animations so like Hayami Izaki obviously you know the mainstream kind of artists for like pop art kind of I guess is what you would refer to it pop culture did I sort of just say let's die huh? is it saying let's die? I hope not sorry now it's just saying let's as if I've like pointed out it's like let's maybe sing dance that would make more sense wouldn't it okay it definitely said it that time it definitely said it that time no one else hearing this let's play that song again welcome to the stream somebody's just dropped in there's a lot of people are dropping in and out so I'm just saying hey welcome just arrived to stick around for an adventure yeah so I'm doing the front cover of my latest comic picture this about haunted picture frame picture picture frame and I'm just trying to do the cover thinking about the cover anyway I don't know if this is going to be the cover but it's kind of working out it's interesting to think it's going to be like a picture frame comic hey Kasia yeah I'm doing the oh I just said it so it's going to repeat myself the front cover for my newest comic and here's the end paper that I did this week it's just going to be inside the comic I really like this little cat it's so cute some glow in the dark fangs plastic fangs yeah and then I did this this week as well just showing you guys again in case you didn't see it it's the banner for the Kickstarter well it's roughly I edited it a lot on photoshop so I've done like different things and stuff different things and stuff yeah so the moment I'm just drawing what I think will be the cover which will be nice because in the story it's about her picking up this antique of this picture frame and it being haunted so if the person who gets the comic has like the picture frame I thought it would be quite fun yeah idea because that would mean you haunted too music stopped why is it doing this her head is massive I don't know why this has happened I can fix it in photoshop so I'm going to curl it off like here um I told him to shut up if anyone's interested he was like talking to me I'm like yeah just joking just joking I'm joking we've been watching oh it's cool I think you should leave this comedy sketch show I've probably heard of it on Netflix it's so funny it's just like this is my humor it's so stupid and bizarre like it gets me every time and I'm like I know it's so stupid but it's so funny to me I don't know if anyone else has watched that I just love it gimme that me and Chris have been like quoting it thank you Kasia I'm always like when I say people's names I'm always like so slow because I'm like I don't want to be rude just joking I saw like um I think you should leave this comedy show that I was talking about is like I've seen so many clips on Tiktok and I was like laughing at every single one and then I was like I should probably watch this show because it's so like every time I see a clip it makes me laugh and now I love it it's so stupid but I love it also I am addicted to Tiktok I don't want to talk about it it definitely eats a lot of my time too much time I love making Tiktoks as well it's quite fun it's just like short little funny videos or serious I do some serious ones as well uh yeah so this is going to be up here make sure this just imagining why this probably won't get this um cover done today because I need to do stuff with it in Photoshop so I'll probably put it on Instagram at some point if you guys are interested in seeing the final thing at some point and you can follow me over there or see it on the Kickstarter next week oh yeah guys pitching it again pitching it to you uh sorry about that you gotta sell sell sell with this day and age right people always tell me to like uh what's it called with you advertise yourself I guess and I'm like oh I don't like it you have to do it yes don't you this illustration looks or do you have other concepts of blind page yeah I did um I showed it at the beginning on the stream but I think everyone's left so these were like my concepts um I don't know how well you can see them but it's just like her coming out the picture but also there's one of her falling into like all the antiques because for the Kickstarter I thought about making this like the banner of her falling and then like the picture behind her like looking quite evil or something and then like I don't know why and then I did this one I quite like it more it gave me like Junji Ita vibes so when I came to like sketch out these ones I was thinking of similar stuff here and then maybe the frame and just like objects around I just I like the idea of her sort of in the frame now like I've come up with that idea now because it was going to be her sort of leaning out of the frame but now I'm thinking I do like the idea of the reader picking up this comic and if you read the comic it would make more sense as well so I think it really does work a bit better I think it will be more visually interesting when we finish doing the frame and the title so let's see about that but yeah not sure if this is going to be the final we'll have to see how it turns out I'm hopeful though because I do like that idea and then the back can be like the back of the frame which would be cool oh my gosh the light is like so bright now can't reach my curtain I'll just close the curtain a bit is that too dark now that's what I'm going to do I'm not sure now if I like this or not I'll just have to edit it a lot I think it's looking kind of interesting oh no don't worry about me repeating it's all good I know people have just joined so I don't mind thank you this is kind of the idea I am liking it I think I just need more where's that blue pencil gone if I use a blue pencil it's going to look cool definitely think this it's getting there I think it's at that stage where I'm not sure but I think once I finish it it will be fine yes pink I just went for that then and I didn't even think about it hmm why did I do that yeah I'll probably do the typography and stuff digitally because then I have more control on it in the entire comic traditionally I've really finished it there is a page I will also edit it on photoshop as well being like cleaning out the pages and just like understanding the boxes and stuff but yeah I pencil on the back draw it out color it in with markers and then turn it over and join the front with this like thick pencil that I like working with it's a favorite castile polychromos pencil and then this is like my little mockup which does have like actually a cover that I bought out doing so right now the sun is crazy yeah this is the rough I did all these thumbnails and then I printed them out and then put it together as if this was the booklet and yeah this is what the comic is going to kind of look like since spoilers are but I'm sure we didn't really catch them too well um sorry guys thank you doing the Kickstarter next week if you're interested everyone leaves as soon as I say that I want to buy the comic I'm looking too making it something where's my rubber gun? that's one of the pages in case you're interested I did the eye too high up here so I'm just going to rub that out a little bit well because it looks a bit weird but bright pink yeah just it'd be interesting to have like another comic done um I've done three so far horror comic size um it would just be nice to have like four of them it'd be crazy and I want to do the next one the um haunted water park that I wrote because I wanted to write do two originally together and then I was like why do I do two together let's do one and then one instead of stretching myself in it made more sense to do it that way so that's what I'm doing and yeah it's that one I think I think I might do that one digitally I'm not sure because as always like editing stuff with this comic with Photoshop I was like this is so much easier when you make a mistake or you want to read your something it's just like yeah easier to fix stuff not easier to like make the comic on see but I was thinking I might do it that way but then it wouldn't fit in with the rest so I'm not sure the brush that's sort of similar to this pencil line and I thought like if I do want to do it digitally I can kind of make it look a little bit like it was traditional still might be time to try doing digital a bit more definitely more confident doing digital stuff than I was like a few years ago so I feel like everyone leaves as soon as I mentioned the Kickstarter so funny no pressure guys I was just joking but any of this music is by the way it's just a random playlist if you would like a video about the Kickstarter as well let me know because I could do that of how like well let's see if it actually gets backed because I was like I could do a tips video and then I'm like what if nobody backs it's yeah I've been doing a lot of research on other like projects and looking how they do stuff so it's been really like a nice journey I think I'm going to take a break after it's all done though it's been quite time consuming tiring but obviously I've been enjoying it it's just I feel like when I'm not doing anything I'm a bit like fidgety want to do stuff so it's definitely too right now yeah so this is how it's looking and the title is going to go here my name is going to go here I'm just going to like gussy up the frame a little bit more but that's it I think I'm just going to stop streaming now because I'm quite tired but yeah this is all the stuff and I hope that you guys will keep an eye out for the Kickstarter and let me know what you think so far in the comments if you're watching this after the stream or whatever I'll let you know how it goes if you post this on Instagram or the finished product so give me a follow over there if you're interested or just check it out later I guess but yeah thanks for watching everyone it's been cool hanging out with you again hope to see you next time alright bye
