Process




So, I've just got to do one more rewrite on the first story arc, but I've already begun to plot out the second story line. For that one Abbie get her hair cut and I've had an idea on how I wanted it to be, but could never really get a firm grasp on it. So I did what I did with Jo's hair, and just repeatedly drew heads out, and experimented with various styles. For the most part, it was really just refinement, and forcing myself to continue drawing.
No.1: an initial design of the 'do.
No.2:
me trying to flesh her out.
No.3: didn't really like no.2 that much (too stiff), but didn't have enough time to redraw the whole thing, so I just redrew the shirt and skirt. Thought the shirt needed to be more feminine.
No.4: me trying to hammer down Abbie's hairstyle.
No.5: the approved hairstyles with the first one being after she first cuts it (she just grabbed a pair of scissors and cut off her ponytail) and the second one being after it's been cleaned up.
No.6: Abigail with the new hair and outfit that she sports during a particular scene in chapter 2.

Really happy with the fact I figured out how to draw her bangs correctly.

Slideshow






Nothing new right now, just wanted to post up some photos. The first set of my new drawing set up. I tweeked my drawing board a bit and came up with a setting that left me with a "Why didn't I think of this sooner?" The next set are of a bike trail called the Holiday Trails back home. Saw it, wished that I had lugged my bike with and then took photos. The camera died about fifteen minutes into the photo shoot. I'll probably wind up using the rest of these photos as a references for Abbie's own local spot.
Enjoy
