Fables for Japan Part II

Here's the aforementioned re-sketching I did. I suppose this is a potential spoiler but I'm going to assume that only I can actually make enough sense out of this to understand what's going on. If you have super-human visual comprehension skills beware. These are what my normal page sketches look like.

As you can see it's very rough. Like I mentioned before I really prefer to work on the main page to give everything a fresher look.

And here are the pencils for the second page. As you can see here I'm a little more careful. I do a more detailed sketch/design with a blue col-erase pencil, then make my final pencil marks with a 4H pencil. These usually stick through the inking process but sometimes I'll go back and change things before or during inking.

If you look closely at the sketch version up top (page 2 is on the top, second from left), you can see I made a change from the panel 3 sketch version onward. Sometimes it takes me drawing out all the lines and boxes and penciling in a few panels to figure out something doesn't work in the sketch. Those i'll just change right on the final version, instead of making another sketch. Certainly makes things interesting, especially since I don't always pencil chronologically.
Finished penciling page 4 tonight, one more to go, then to finish inking and coloring. I'm getting more and more excited. Page 4 might be my favorite so far. Stay tuned.
