No Saturday or Sunday drawing, but a little bit yesterday.  (Wish it wasn’t yesterday already.  More sleep please…)  Now a 3rd of the rough sketches for issue one have been completed.  Won’t get another chance to draw for days due to ‘work’ work and general busy-ness.  Slowly but surely though, and the pictures can only get more clear in my head…

Kept on rolling with the Wet Shards momentum yesterday and got a fifth of the way through roughly sketching out issue one.  I feel like a fifth is a quantity that I can feel relatively happy with.  It sounds good.  Relatively good.  Wanted to keep going, but 3 days of full on box office work are happening instead.  Looks like Saturday for the next bash, fingers crossed, or maybe a bit of cheery Mother’s Day drawing…

I would love to be able to post a picture of me posing with the lovely lovely new pens that I bought today, but, alas, I do not own a digital camera or even a camera phone and I couldn’t justify having some passport photos done, so instead we have the layout of one of the pages from Issue 1 of Wet Shards.

I was a good girl this afternoon, and made a long overdue trip to the artshop to purchase my drawing materials.  (I really have no excuse now.)  When I returned home I decided that I should draw out all the page layouts in order to see more clearly what I’m dealing with.  This could be deemed as procrastinating, but in fact it’s proved very helpful, making the whole thing a bit more tangible in an odd way.  Besides, the new pens really are very very lovely, so it will be hard to procrastinate with them looking at me in the sweet way that they seem to do.  (I may have a problem, but not one that I’m worried about yet…)

They’ve now been viewed by the writer, so they may be viewed by you if you so desire.  Click here to see my first minimalistic ‘Wet Shards’ character sketches in full…

Well, I’ve finally finished the preliminary drawings for 3 of the characters from ‘Wet Shards’ but I can’t post them just yet.  (John wants to see them first!)  So, Tuesday/Wednesday for the first glimpse…

This is all new territory for me and I’m happy to say that I’ve been pleasantly surprised with my progress thus far.  Here’s to more progress!

Darren Mallard very kindly took time out of his busy schedule this week to wear his official web designer hat for me.  I threw a few queries his way, he imparted some cheeky bits of code, and now LoisTucker.Net is a decidedly better place.  Thank you Darren!  He’s currently working on his own site, so when it’s up and running I’ll let you know.

I must now go and rustle up the first ‘Wet Shards’ drawings designed for public consumption.  I’ve been doodling away for weeks, but I’ve got to decide upon something solid and then get on with the first issue.  Today is the day.  When they’re done, I shall post them somewhere on the site.  Hopefully this shall happen early this evening…

The script of the first issue of ‘Wet Shards’ was emailed to me this afternoon, and I’ve just read it.

Wow.

Written by John Harrigan, I am to illustrate, and what a challenge I have been presented with!  Very very excited.

Lots of drawing to be getting on with tomorrow.

Ooh – I’m all fired up!!
