I've spent a lot of time on the script for the Gothic Pink graphic novel so not much time left for drawing.

But a bit ago I got inspired by the <a href="napalmnacey.deviantart.com/art…>25 Essential Expressions Since I spent my whole childhood trying to draw perfect pretty people I was seriously lacking in practice distorting faces

And I realized as little as I had practiced expressions, I'd done even less with backgrounds, especially cities. And outdoors. And indoors. (Does that cover it?) I had no idea how to draw what the city looked like from a hill. Or what the hill looked like looking up so I messed around with Sketchup (Google's free 3D sketching program.) I soon realized that Sketchup lets you create a box the size of a real building, paste a view of the building on it (you just type in the address of the building) and then push in where the building sticks in and pull out where the building pushes out so the box ends up with the same shape as the real building.

I have no idea why Kat thinks I'm anal.

It's overkill for the comic but actually takes very little time.

Now that I have an idea of what the characters look like and the gate where a lot of the action takes place, I have done sketches for the first chapter (20 pages) but they're so rough only I know what the marks mean So I'd better get some less rough ones done before I forget!
