 Good morning everybody. It is Tuesday morning Yesterday, I didn't record anything because I was in the dark room And I really don't like the way that footage comes out because well I say in that room to use the light box and so and sort of listen to stuff on the iMac Quite a busy car day outside. So sorry about that But basically guys I'm really excited because I have got all my final pages penciled out. Yeah I'm really excited because yesterday. I was just like I'm gonna sit down and just do it get on with it It's more, but I don't want to show you and yeah, I did them and It took all day which actually I was quite surprised because I thought it would take me longer Then that I was like, okay I was gonna take me the week to do all the line work, but yesterday. I just sat down personal why? Yesterday, I just sat down and I decided I'm gonna do it and I think what really helped was a change of Art materials, so I used this soft series black pencil instead of This one which was really slowing me down But what I'm gonna do is go back over the lines as I color it and basically before I started I think the pencil was probably about this size yesterday So yeah, it's getting there I was really worried that I was gonna run out pencil and I would have to use yet another black pencil But I got to the end and with a little time to spare guys I think there's like obviously imperfections on pages, but what I'm gonna do is I go along coloring it I'm gonna be able to just fix those or go over them with the black pencil and maybe just Once I scan them in into Photoshop as well I can there's little things that I need to fix on each page So that editing process is gonna take a little bit of time as well, but yeah, it's getting there and I'm really excited I don't know what to say like it's just I've come such a long way and I think The final push of doing those pages really helped me to believe in myself I was like just do it because I know in my head that I can do it, but I was just Like stopping myself because I think I was scared of messing it up, but I didn't mess it up It happened and it's pretty cool Guess we're coming near the end of these kind of vlogs. I think because Once I start editing on the computer, they will the blog will be a little bit different I'll show some of that process, but once that's I guess that will be it Then I'll launch the Kickstarter or whatever it is that I'm planning on doing I might do an Indie go-go Which is less prestigious and doesn't really have the same audience But I think because I'm in Gibraltar. I had issues with Kickstarter last time Trying to put my address down connected with my bank because my bank is in the UK in England no in Wales and I live in Gibraltar, so it's a bit of an issue tax-wise, which I guess Is understandable like they can't just change the system because one person is living in Gibraltar and wants to Under Kickstarter or I might do just pre-orders. I'm not sure yet I think pre-orders might be the way to go and then just send it out to people who want it It might be a bit more exciting. I don't know Kickstarter is pretty exciting But I don't know a bit scared of doing Kickstarter. Yeah, I keep saying Kickstarter But I mean Indie go-go or something if I get 10 people then that will probably be enough to print it because I think it's gonna be Just trying to I need to figure out all the costs really and think of it in a business perspective Not just an artistic way of I want to print it. You know what was really helpful to me actually This weekend because people keep asking me How do I stay motivated and stuff and this weekend? I think I really said to myself I'm not gonna do any work I'm just gonna take the weekend off and I'm gonna relax and we went to my parents house So if I'm away from my house, it kind of helps because if I'm sitting here trying to relax I keep thinking well, I'll just draw whilst I do this or I'll just do that Whereas I went to my parents and I only took like my sketchbook and stuff and I was like no not gonna work And it was really good because Monday I felt really pumped to like get on with it and obviously it paid off because I finished all the line work Which which is craziness to me. I can't believe I finished it and now just the coloring to go And that is super super exciting Oh, I want to show you guys one panel that I think you'll like but I don't want to spoil But I know that we discussed going a little bit abstract tea. So there's one point where We've editing where it goes a bit wonky and I really like that. It just goes a little bit wonky And I think that's cool You can see like a hand there and stuff, but you know, there's a little mini spoiler for you Something spooky is gonna happen to her. We're not confused by that Another thing I need to do is figure out the typeface now Which is something that's really bothering me because I want to get the the words onto the paper because I think that's what's going to tie it all together Right now we have this final page, but It doesn't work because there's no words Um, you need the words I think it just brings it all into a little nice neat ball And yeah, obviously I've like written stuff here So I don't know if I'm going to go with that type of Typography and I think so I think I want to do a hand written because I think it would fit with the vibe and the style But I also I haven't really explored doing anything digital Just having like digital fonts, which would probably be easier in a sense But wouldn't look as good. I don't know it's all come into a head and it's really exciting and I'm really happy The way it has kind of been lifted a little bit on The fact that I've done the line work I know that the goal is in sight kind of thing because I've always been like, oh it's such it's so far away Or it would it was just going to take a long time Then I had originally thought but now it's it's happening and I'm really excited So it's going to be 19 pages and then I'm going to do a Pattern cover to sort of go here before it the story begins And yeah, then need to do the cover which is something that I'm terrified of as well because I have no idea what I'm going to put on the cover It might have to be the lighthouse or something like that Which would be quite interesting The title is Emily is burning So I did just stay with Emily but just because it Has a certain ring to it and maybe it is a nod to Emily Carroll Slightly because I I Subconsciously came up with that name even because of her name was next to me her book I think like Emily is burning is is a cool cool name I actually thought of the title before I thought of anything any of the story I just liked the way that sounded and I thought like I want to do a horror comic And I did like a fake cover back then and I realized Yeah, I really want to do this and it's something I've thought about doing for a while because Last year for my slice of life comic. I thought like Halloween week I drew a comic every day or like spooky stories that people have told me that not necessarily happened to me But happened to other people and I really liked Doing that. So I thought, you know what why not continue doing what you like Right follow that joy as I keep suggesting. I guess I can't really do a conclusion Conclusion all that's another word A conclusion to this because I haven't finished it But I think once I have I'm going to say things that I've learned from the process and really talk in depth about What helped me to create this Um, but I think something that has been major that I can't ignore is the fact that I have you guys Spurring me on a little bit and um telling me that you like it and watching these vlogs and Saying what you like about the pieces saying what you don't like giving me Advice and inspiration telling me that I'm inspiring you your work That has really Help me push through some moments where I've had a lot of self-doubt So thanks really you guys are amazing and thanks so much for your help really as I'm trying to be sincere here There's somebody scraping something out there out on their balcony. So thanks for that I'm trying to be an open person to my audience here and I have to make a joke as well I can't just be like, yeah, you thank you guys. I have to make a joke. I have to laugh it off sigh Morning, everybody. It is Wednesday morning the morning of this vlog And I just have a couple things to show you from yesterday that I didn't show you So this is just a scan and then I was working out some typography Just to see how like stuff would look and I hated that So here's another one and I just did a different kind of styles of type And I don't know I just wanted to see how it looked with the imagery basically And I really like the way that this one sort of looked Very tight and very like kind of longer and more rough It definitely had to be handwritten because I just think that looks Better with this style of comic because it's so obviously hand drawn and Rough and textured that it had to be handwritten It just didn't mean you can get types that look handwritten But I think it just I just I feel like I've created everything in this with my hands I wanted to do the typography as well and yesterday I was also working on the cover You can see I've done some alphabet studies and then just like some different things that I did some thumbnails of what the cover might look like And I did like a bigger study. I was thinking I was going to do it in watercolors and I think this is kind of the Concept I want is obviously very rough and the watercolors got very muddy but I I'm not sure if I want to do it in watercolors But I think it would be cool to have it slightly different style than it is in the book So that might be fun I need to make the colors more like this though than this murkiness Obviously bring out what is actually in the book into the cover Even though it is watercolors So this is sort of where I got The handwritten stuff. I quite like the way it looks but in photoshop I'm going to have to just edit the way that it sits in Each bubble. So this needs to come down a little bit and this needs to come down a little bit This one's fine Over here We've got like a lot more speech So like this I need to sort out the spacing between the sentences and stuff But I quite like the way it looks and obviously it's going to look nice or once I fiddle with it in photoshop So the pages are coming along nicely Some sneak peeks for you guys. I've got 10 more pages to color And then once I've done that that's it But then we'll color it and I just need to do all the typography scan the more in And it's ready to go and I'm so excited And I think I'm going to start working on the Kickstarter this week And if you guys don't know dina norland has started her Kickstarter, which is a children's book called gray legs And it looks amazing. So you guys should definitely go check that out She's trying to reach her goal of 10k Which I think is really doable for her So if you guys like her style and her book then I really suggest buying it because then you can help her out to create more books And it's going to be really exciting for her. But yeah, this is where I'm at I think it's looking really cool. Don't you? I I hope you do This is the coloring that we worked on on the stream. So if you want to see this being colored in That's on my last stream It's really nice to see all the pages Coming together like this. I'm really excited to be honest with you I'm sorry that this vlog is a bit short this week just because Obviously, I haven't really got that much to show you now because these final pages are obviously going to spoil it Well, I don't really want to spoil it. So I'm not sure how many more vlogs this we've got left Um, I'll obviously show you okay. There was a heligotter, but I'll obviously show you the final processes and hopefully Printing the book and the Kickstarter doing like a walkie through that. I hope to do that anyway It might be quite fun But yeah, this is all coming together and I think I might make a mock booklet of this once it's done So I'll definitely show you guys that so stick around and um, I'm gonna sign off.
