Did some work

I drew a few storyboards and even though I'm not going to post them yet, I wanted to document the fact that I've done some work.  I think I'm going to ditch this Asus ep121 in favor of a normal laptop, possibly a macbook pro if I can gather up the motivation to switch to mac, and a wacom tablet. The cursor on this ep121 doesn't always line up with the pen so it kind of drives me insane, not to mention you have to take out the keyboard any time you want to type anything, since the on screen keyboard is annoying and the handwriting recognition is much slower than typing.  It feels like I can do things at the same speed as I can  my phone, which is not what I want out of a laptop. I feel like once I get to the other work in this project I'm going to wish I had a normal machine to work on.

That is all.

This is the Title of the Blog Post

Here are some more storyboards that I drew on the plane from Boston to SF. I'm thinking I might need to shorten these little montage segments if I'm going to fit them all into the last minute or so of the song.  That's what this whole animatic is for in the first place.

Storyboards, long time comin...

Here are some more storyboards.  I've been drawing in Iceland on my vacation.  Haven't had much time to dedicate but that's a good thing, I've just been swimming and visiting friends and going to the countryside and eating delicious food for the last week.

I'm back

I'm starting up work again on this project again!  I've had a brand new Asus ep121 for the last 2 weeks but have been too busy with work to use it.  After much headache setting the damn thing up here's my first attempt with it.

It doesn't have anything to do with the project, or anything at all really, but I feel like I'm getting the hang of using sketchbook pro on this machine, which BTW I've named "Scrablet".  Scrablet and I have enjoyed a lovely morning outside of Bean There cafe.  There's a woman practicing singing like an angel.  An angel that just sings up and down the scales.  Off to band practice.

My laptop died

My drawing device has failed.  The graphics card overheated and now I am sad.  I'm looking for another but until then this blog will suck with neglect.

Another page

Yet another page.  I just realized I saved over an entire page of boards... not getting that back.  Son of a bitch... well I'll redraw that one next time.

Bwoards

The long and steady journey continues with the greatest of all accomplishments.  More storyboards.  

I had some moments of battling with self doubt during this drawing session.  I wonder why it's such a struggle.  I'm worried about these drawings(as well as the entire project) being terrible, or rather just not being something that impresses people, or that I won't ever finish it.  I definitely need to relax about the whole thing and just make progress.  It might even help to just leave some drawings in a state I'm not happy with, just to practice "getting over it".
