Adamsville is one book, one story told over 130 pages.\u00a0 And I originally broke that up into 4 chapters, mainly for my sake and just getting the material done.\u00a0 I currently have 77 pages left to complete in chapters 3&4.\u00a0 After breaking all of that up I realized that chapter 3 was 43 pages and chapter 4 was the remaining 34.\u00a0 I went ahead and decided to keep the process fresh and exciting for me as I work, to break those up into a total of 5 chapters of 25, 25 and 27 each.\u00a0 I think this will help me just keep moving along and keep the remaining pages fresh for me as I turn style through them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I also realized I need a bit of change in how I approcah my work.\u00a0 I usually stay up late at night and crank through my pages when the house is asleep, but recently I started working on my pages earlier in the evening after my kids have gone to bed and then spending the rest of the evening with my wife.\u00a0 What’s been great about that has been I get an even amount of work done and have been able to get to bed earlier.\u00a0 Sleep is important folks.\u00a0 Take care of yourself.<\/p>\n

A few months ago I picked up this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the graphic novel version of the Sherlock Holmes novels<\/a> and they are fantastic.\u00a0 But what I really loved about them at first was the beautifully simple artwork by artist I. N. J. Culbard<\/a>.\u00a0 what I didn’t know was that he was using Manga Studio to produce his pages.\u00a0 When I first bought it I thought man what great line art and this guy really knows how to use a brush.\u00a0 After I looked closer i saw the tell tale signs of digital creation.\u00a0 But he uses two tools that I had never messed with that I think helped his work have a much more traditional look to it.\u00a0 There’s brush tool that gives the dry brush look to your lines and a cross hatching brush to help it as well.\u00a0 If you own Manga Studio try out these brushes and pick up Sherlock Holmes the graphic novels as well.\u00a0 It’s pretty fun.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I did a quick drawing of the neighbor from Adamsville testing some of these tools out. You’ll be seeing this character and some of these tools in newer pages as they fit in.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
