this is
page 41. the only page i drew horizontally. it really bothers me that i
chose this direction, having the binding on the bottom, but it worked
out cool. :) layering, as i have previously pointed out, helps organize
my thought process. it forces me to go one strip at a time, therefore i
focus. it also looks all neat and tidy, making me calm. funny, my method
of organization is to make piles all over my house. gives the fake
illusion that i have it all together ;)
even
the way i complete a drawing takes my concentration away from my
encumbering thought racing. first i create the outlines of the entire
drawing, then color in basic broad areas, then detail it to death. it's
how most artists work, i assume, but i am breaking it down to show how
each step is a way to hone your attention and take it away from other
less appealing streams of mental discussion.
below, page 42, is incomplete. i just didn't know what to showcase. decision-making is exhausting to me. if i can't come up with a concrete answer immediately, i usually give up. if i do, then i almost always go over and over it, pros and cons, is there something better...ugh. what a waste of life.
