Rachel and I always try to work together. She's very much an ideas person, and I'm very much a do-er. Unfortunately, our combined skills and ideas usually leave some kind of gap. When she said she wanted a fairly normal, calligraphic logo for her comic, I doodled one. Lo and behold, she liked it!
Now, we're in the process of putting together a video for a kickstarter page. For those of you who don't know kickstarter, it's a website where creative people can collect donations to have their projects funded, and pledgers receive fun rewards. Rachel doesn't like appearing in front of a camera, so we decided to draw her video. Yes, that's right, I'm DRAWING the video. I'm not fully animating it, that would be crazy. I am doing sequential images to complement the sound.
Last night, I managed to draw 4 of the roughly 20 images we'll be using. I got one partially colored, too. Drawing black hair is kind of difficult, as it turns out! Nevertheless, those four hours we spent at the computer working on these drawings were some of the most enjoyable ones I've had in a while. I was seriously sitting at the computer GIGGLING because I was so entertained. Of all the things I enjoy, making art is the most enjoyable.
May you always have as much fun being productive as I did last night!
Remember the Zornow Challenege? I do. I'm still working on it. When I post the video, you'll have to let me know how I'm doing. :)
