I'm still working on overcoming my Perspective issues. However on the way I've discovered a few things about the story. I realize now that the sketching and layout portion of the story needs a good bit of time to be completed and effective.
This is the third time I've discovered more effective ways of telling the story. There is one page where I added a superfluous panel and one page where I was ready to add a complex and dramatic element that is completely uneeded and stylistically off base with the rest of the story. If I had rushed through on these, I would have ended up with weak pages on both accounts. Food for thought on that one. However by the same token, I could waste a million years rethinking all my work and never get anything accomplished. So it's a balancing act.
Here are some scans of the perspective studies for page one. First a small sketch and then the page rough. Although not quite as complete as I would like. Perspective and I still aren't really on speaking terms. It's never really been my strong suit and it is a very necessary component to comics art...so I'm working on it. I want it to be perfect, but that is kind of impossible as I am learning the process. So I am kind of pushing against myself here. I know that it will work itself out over time. It is just a matter of putting my nose to the grindstone with it. This is one of those things that only expereince will speed up the process. Repetition, mmmmm, my favorite.
