Six Weeks in Hell Pt. 8

Exhaustion, severe exhaustion. It's finally kicked in. Not complaining, okay maybe a little, but after 24 hour comics I haven't quite been able to wake up. I'm awake, I'm moving and working, but I feel a funk, or rather in one.

In any case, the Vaticomics are coming along quite well, with lettering to do, touch ups, and some last minute inking corrections. A solid day of work and issues one and two will be done, hopefully by the end of the week. Also, I'm working on a short story called Icarus for Senior project. Roughly four pages long, it should be done, or close to it, by Wednesday/ Thursday. I've been doing some heavy sketching for All I Want is a Brother. Should be starting on those pages next week, woo!

Though I still seem to be feeling the effects of 24 hour comics, I'm still really, really glad I went. Working to finish the comic, I found that not only can I work faster with a brush, but I'm actually getting better to the point that my pencils don't need to be really tight for me to get decent results. Not great results, but with a lot of practice, I may be able to finally work fast enough to have a shot competing for jobs. So, yay for brushes. I've been working mostly with a Number 2 Sable, Windsor/ Newton, but I also use an Escoda brush for dry brushing and I've recently been playing around with a sumi brush for shits and giggles.

Also of note, I have a whole plethora of stuff from Vaticomics, including notes and sketches plus the pencils for issue 1. Enjoy.

Namaste,

Jon Jones
