As long as those disasters are out of your control and you give fair warning, no one can really blame you. It's when you're late from <strong>really</strong> slacking off or taking on too much work at once when it's a problem. So go easy on yourself! :) -K It certainly does…see my previous post about losing my work! As long as those disasters are out of your control and you give fair warning, no one can really blame you.

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 08:43:43 +0000 http://karenjlloyd.com/blog/?p=26#comment-38 I like them col-erase pencils. Didn't know anything about it until one of my art teacher told me about it. When I tried it for the first time I feel like I can animate things, squash and stretch; no problem! My first board project was also done couple of days after the due date. I feel so sucky. It was couple of days before it's due, and i have about couple of panels to draw and ink (w photoshop). Just right after i put my stylus, my electricity in my neighbourhood was down! And didn't get back up two days later, which was supposedly the due date. I know this would happen (long story to explain). I told the director whether it's cool to turn in at a later date, he understood and fine with it. I felt so down cus that was my first gig and tried to make good impression on the director. Anyhoo, shit happens. I like them col-erase pencils. Didn’t know anything about it until one of my art teacher told me about it.

If it's a new show and I'm not used to the characters yet, then yes, the early panels don't look like the last. I try to not let myself get to that overly rushed stage. The drawings do go faster because as I find 'the groove', I get quicker. But I don't let the quality go down...as much as I want to sometimes! I guess I feel the duty to keep it consistent. In animation it has to be, since so many other people with be working from these boards later. My next post will be related to this topic. : ) -K I’m sure that’s very common.

Question, do you find that your drawings are stiff on the first few pages/day, loosen up as you get into it, and then at the end, get rushed? Like you see the end of the tunnel and can't wait to get there? That's always my experience and I wondered if that is common. It’s always interesting to read other peoples working methods.
