The heat is turning up on Maizie and getting prepared for her performance of a poem at the Mother Daughter Tea. More Klaus, more Glo and plenty of more Del. Or ‘mo Klaus, ‘mo Glo and lot ‘mo.
In this chapter, I moved my process back 80% into Procreate. I’m using Clip Studio Paint (CSP) for the panels, page layout and words/balloons. But then I bring these into Procreate. Why? I just really enjoy the experience of drawing and creating in the really clean interface-it feels to me like I’m working in a sketchbook. CSP is really powerful and yet feels “work-y” to me. And I’m in this for the fun first, challenge second.
I’m also enrolled in the Sequential Artists Workshop (SAW) and their Graphic Novel Intensive. This community is absolutely amazing me: welcoming, guidance, inspiration. With what I’m learning there, I’m directing my drawing style back “to the beginning”-and hoping all of the studying and practicing I’ve done in the past year will help my comics be “me” and yet more readable.
Music track for this chapter: Keb Mo and his friends. Perfect for a hot summer in California.
