Nothing beats rounding off a day of emotionally draining storywork like drawing Sanji kicking the ever loving shit out of something.

-and this is the second character of Pitch, although I suppose he’s almost the main character… well, they both are. Not quite sure how to colour him but it’ll be likely be quite different from the human characters.
Initially I wanted to make a character that was completely black, like Oswald and Mickey, and then ‘Pitch’ could have been his name too. This little guy just didn’t work out like that, however, and I’m not going to argue with him.
So the film I’m working on is going to be called ‘Pitch’ (maybe, titles tend to change in my experience).
I’ve been doing some boarding this morning and trying to figure out how to make it look how it looks in my head. I’ll be animating paperlessly in ToonBoom, so it’s a bit trickier than working in pencil then scanning it in. Anyway, the main character is getting there and I think this might be how it’ll look, sort of, if I can punch the brushes in the face enough.
He doesn’t have a name but I’m not sure he actually needs one in this case.
Working on the next TPoH page and I remember someone asking me if I work totally digitally or sketch on paper- it’s very half and half with me. I always sketch on paper to begin with, but I look over the sketch and try to see what’s wrong with it and make annotations on how to fix it digitally when I’ve scanned it in.
Like here it was mostly okay but Madras’s arm was a bit too short, so I made a note to cut and extend it rather than redraw the whole thing (I liked the hand so I didn’t want to risk losing it).

I also needed to shift her forwards a bit to make the position work with Hero’s line of sight. All little things but I find this method saves a lot of time and makes a big difference.
sans internet
oh noes
but I get to spend time with my sister
so that’s rad
anyway yeah I’m going to be properly without internet for a while so here’s a spoiler WIP for TPoH I guess.

Anyway
as you were.
