I absolutely adore looking at a comic page before the word bubbles get filled. Something about the way bubbles break up a page and the potential of those bubbles really appeals to me. I like lettered pages too but there's just something wonderful about the unlettered version.
I really enjoyed drawing the latest page for All Stories Are True! This comic business if spectacular. Spectacularly fun. Panel four with Haleigh's head sticking into Derek's word bubble is my favorite.
It certainly takes a long time, though. The breakdown for this page is roughly:
Pencils: 3 hours
Inks: 2 hours
Shading: 1.5 hours
Lettering & Editing: 1 hour
All Told: 7.5 hours (!!!)
I assume this to be an upper bound, though, since the art for this one was rather complex for me (so many people, panels so small!). Here's hoping the total bill will go down!
I'm thinking the update schedule for now will be Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We'll seeeeee.
