157 pages in rough done!!! Now I’m starting to really think about the look for the final pages…I’m testing papers, brushes, and I need to draw final model sheets for the characters. I have a 2 week contract to do storyboards at Mr.X on a live action film and then I’ll start drawing the final pages…stay tune!
