Short newsletter this week. My time in front of the computer has mostly been spent coloring the Mighty Nizz comic. I am slow at it. I had a good process worked out for my individual designs but comic book pages are more complex. I know it’s possible to be more efficient and much faster. The comic book industry couldn’t function if all colorists took this long. I’m letting myself be okay with turtling for this story. There are videos online that teach the digital coloring process. I’m watching them. I don’t learn skills well from videos. I can’t stop and ask questions. The instructors often seem to think that their audience is more familiar with a program than I am. Or they’re using a different version of Photoshop than I have. But, little by little, I’m figuring it out.

Five out of the ten pages are finished and the other five are in progress. I expect that I’ll be able to show off the story in next week.

Until then –

Take care of yourself. Eat off the good china. Drink from the special cups. Toast the expanding night.

See you in seven!
