I went and bought Clip Studio Paint EX since it’s on sale for Black Friday. Here’s a fast test doodle of some random girl, I guess.

I want to do more work on my iPad and iMac. Although I’m happy when working with Windows, just moving an image from the iPad to the Windows machine is a pain. Understand, I have a 2017 iMac with an awesome 27-inch screen to work with. It may be slightly slower than my PC, but I can airdrop images to it, which saves me the time that I would spend uploading an image to iCloud, then downloading it to my PC. In other words, the simpler workflow saves me time and lowers the aggravation level, which makes me a happier, though struggline, novice writer.

Today I had cataract surgery. The ophthalmologist removed the cloudy lens in my right lens and replaced it with an acrylic lens. I had been dreading this surgery for years. The thought of someone cutting my eye with a razor-sharp diamond scalpel was more than I could deal with.

Afraid as I was of surgery, I was also afraid of not being able to drive at night. Night driving had become a frightening ordeal .When you have a full blown cataract, the glare of oncoming headlines turns the darkness into a wall of white light, which is not fun when you’re driving on a two-lane highway.. I scoured youtube for cataract surgery videos. As my ignorance of cataracts diminished, I was able to schedule surgery for my eye.

Still trying to make my characters cuter. It ain’t easy…for me, at least. The formula seems to be big head, big eyes, rounded features, no straight lines, short noses. What i’m really missing is cute gestures!

I thought I had the dolphin nailed, but today I realized that his profile didn’t make sense. He had lost his personality and he looked bored. I had to make him look at the reader with a twinkle in his eye. I’m reluctant to go in and change a finished page, but I manned up and started erasing. In the picture above I’m in the middle of getting his mouth open so he can show his fabulous teeth.

My plan is to turn these make these pictures work together. The beach scene will all of the residents of Easter Island, the reanimated Moai the the little volcano demon, waving farewell to Dylan Dolphin, Betty Burro, and Jimmy Jay. Since these are two unique scenes, I’m going to extend the ocean (in the beach scene) to behind the jumping dolphin. I’ll have to correct some colors and lighting. I can sense that I’m going to complete this book in the next couple of months.

It’s a bittersweet feeling. I’m happy that I’m coming to the end, and I’m sad that it will be over. I’ve been working on this book for 17 months, far longer that dreamed it would take. There are so many ways it could have been better, if I had only had the skills to make it so. So it goes.

The top painting is my original image. Below it is the same image with two correction layers applied: hue, brightness, and saturation, and contrast. The corrected image looks dreary because there are no highlight. I’ll add them tomorrow.

What I’m trying to do here is change the color of the ink lines for each character. I’m not yet successful. Again, I’ve encountered a gap in my skills. When that happens I end up searching for instruction on how to the the color of the lines. I thought I had it all figured out because I’ve watched a few videos. It turns out that just knowing something isn’t the same as being able to apply that knowledge to do something.

I’m thinking a white outline around the silhouette of the group might be a good way to go. I’ll try it tomorrow.

Everyone has a baseline skill level for every endeavor. My base level for painting is represented in this storyboard cell showing the Moai family waving goodbye to Dylan Dolphin, Betty Burro, and Jimmy Jay.

Yes, this is where I start with every picture I draw. I’m starting from the level I achieved as a fourth grader at the age of nine. It’s funny how the basic skill level emerges when I’m in a hurry to get an idea down. The funny thing is, this simple image has enough information for me to reclaim my original idea for this scene. There are the foam-tipped waves lapping at their feet; The moai are no longer grey rock — they are colorful flesh and blood; Behind them is the sparse windblown beach grass, and in the background is Terevaka, the extinct volcano that is the highest point on the island.

I will work on this picture everyday, one inch at a time.

Did some basic flatting today. I’m not happy with Dylan Dolphin’s pudgy belly but otherwise, I’m pleased with this composition.

I used Clip Studio Paint Ex to create this vector sketch. One thing I haven’t figured out is how to simplify the lines. That is to say, I want to remove some of the nodes to create smoother lines. I read on the Internet that there’s a way to do this, but this technique seems to be a well-hidden secret.

Next up, I’ll flat this image and put in some shadows.
