Charity Case Ch9:Pg10 process and high res

I forgot the middle step, sorry!  You can see I changed my mind about that bottom panel, I didnt have anything planned beyond 'theyre all together and a bit flirty' haha, that'll teach me to plan so poorly.

Info from $1 tier post:

Hey! So I'm getting one of my wisdom teeth out on thursday, and another mid-April, so the schedule is gonna be a bit up in the air. It entirely depends how much rest I need, and I have no way to tell yet :P. There'll likely be a couple of pages skip...

Charity Case Ch9:Pg10 [+ schedule info]

Hey! So I'm getting one of my wisdom teeth out on thursday, and another mid-April, so the schedule is gonna be a bit up in the air. It entirely depends how much rest I need, and I have no way to tell yet :P. There'll likely be a couple of pages skipped while I recover!

I might delay the pdf's too, but we'll see how it goes :)

the perspective police are coming for me hahahaha

I wish I had done a better sketch on this one, usually I can blag it, but this one was more tricky than I thought! I had hoped to have it all be one panel, but there's only so much you can warp perspective and I am not that good at doing it convincingly :P

turquoise is absolutely my fav colour, it's so pleasing!


[Edited for clarity! Previously said 'isn't that kind of the point? It's like a costume, right?'. The wording was bothering me]

Almas line at the end might change...but I wanted to get a page out today haha. Do you guys think that it's affirming, or dismissive?

Intended vibes are: 'Don't worry about it, nobody will even think abt it because its a costume.' but I think it could be read as like. 'You'll be wearing it as a costume, so it's ok to wear a dress.' (obviously not...what Alma would thin...

U can see the ugly street views I traced over (vaguely) here. Sometimes it doesn't seem worth it to invent a whole new street/etc when one already exists and does the job better. (plus all my fun environment brains went into the last pages)

I wish I had noticed that trellis, it's cute! I basically just drew out the shapes of houses and the floor, and then didnt look at the ref again... but I wish I gotten the trellis in :'O.

Gave up on that last panel and copied the reference more...

Lots of muddling about with colour on this, I struggle with more true-to-life colours, tending to make them too dull! I found that blue and shoved it everywhere I could  to make it more exciting :P. I'd love to just spend some time doing a bunch of environment studies, but allocating time for stuff like that is hard XD

Watercolour sketch video (embedded)

This isn't super interesting, but I got a phone stand so I can film my sketchbook, so here's me testing it out :)


The portrait inside youtubes landscape is...a bit annoying, maybe I'll see if I can film sideways haha

Charity Case Ch8:Pg49 [Chapter End + Break]

we've reached the end of another chapter! I'll be taking the usual 2-3 week break to sort my stuff out for the next chapter (I've actually already got a lot of it in order, so hopefully will be back sooner!)

Everything else will carry on as normal, skechbooks and any process posts will still be posted :)

Speaking of sketchbooks- Januarys will be out in the next couple of days, I'm mostly working on the hourly comics today (which are deceptively time consuming haha) but I'm working...
