TOO LATE Week Seven! Plus Commentary!
Click on the link to read this week's installment, then come back to read the commentary below the cut!
I was really excited with the double-page spread in this installment after I'd drawn it. It felt like I really broke through a couple of boundaries with my art after I'd finished it. First just on the draftsmanship of pulling off the first panel felt like an accomplishment. More importantly though was the storytelling here.
I was moving around the camera, getting more emotions from my models, and then in execution I played around with being outside the apartment and using different visual cues to make that (hopefully!) not seem confusing. I set up the birds in the first panel, then showed them again in panel six and paid off in panel seven. (Off-topic, but I'd wanted to draw pigeons ever since reading Sandman issue eight, and I totally stole from Mike Dringenberg in my rendering of them)
I had a few more break-throughs like this later in the book, in the last couple of scenes, but I'm still excited by this spread.
