Lin Trips, week 2

I started collecting everything I remembered that would be considered funny and collected the stories in my sketchbook, most of them are about how clumsy I am, but some are not, for example some are about stories I have been told like: I talk in my sleep and I sometime say such weird stuff that turn out to be incredibly funny, or on how my mum always knew I would grow up to be an artist, or how karma hit crappie people while we were present. The biggest problem with these stories is that I went to talk to my mum about these and we ended up going into many different tangents as we do tend to be quite chatty sometimes, it was not a big deal, but it did slow down the project.

After I proceeded to look back at the already written blog post and the promises I wrote there and begun to sketch out emotions for my mum’s character, I must say I had much more fun that expected on creating these and it relaxed me a lot, especially because I begun to have problems with anxiety and second guessing myself, I tend to think I am not ready for stuff but I also realize that I will never be ready if I keep doing this.

The next step was to create different ways I would display the images, these were incredibly quick sketches that do not represent well the prospective, but I believe they still helped a lot as now I have some sort of visual clue on how to progress. As time was starting to be too tight for my liking, I only had time to create four layouts to choose form, and as always I went to see my mum and sister for feedback, as they are the closest feedback I have available and I can count on them to see if my work makes sense or not. The feedback called forth two contestants which I planned to make bigger so I could express better what was going on:

But the final say was mine, and I chose the last one as it made more sense that the other and it represent me more: I get distracted and I trip. With these done, I scanned them in so I could edit them on photoshop and make them better and fix any mistakes I made. This was harder than expected; I thought I had an idea:

But this was making me sick, I believe the way I did the colours are the main issues I had with it: it drained away my energy and until I figure out how to create the content using colours, I will be using this:

(I know they are sign as Kaylin_Hunter, this is the name I am using on Webtoon.)

Another thing I didn’t expect was to take this long to create one comic, and I didn’t complete all the tasks I set to myself, I will shift one story per week including this week.

To be completely honest, I am terrified of what I am doing and I did struggle with myself on creating the account on Webtoon, but I was able to power throw it, I am about to be able to get everything published and ready to start the next week.
