it's taken me all day to draw the train crossing and the not-tishimungo hotel.
all. day.
well okay, on and off all day, but still. and this is just the sketch, mind you. i'm still shuffling people around and trying to figure out the angles. i've learned not to ink things until i've let them "set" since my perspective is so bad (both literally and emotionally).
anyway, here it is (reduced). i'm dreading refining and inking all those little people and things. i dunno what i was thinking when i decided to undertake this booger. the good news is, i think this is the only wide angle over-populated scene i'll have to draw (i think). the bad news is, this doesn't bode well for the cast of thousands who wait in the wings in many a different storyline.
some reason Beasely always draws well for me. i like him best of all.
the other good thing about this is i'm just doing it for practice and mostly making it up as i go along, which takes a lot of the pressure off. i mean, i know the basic story, but until i sit down and storyboard it, i'm not thinking ahead more than a scene or so at a time.
the uneven tones on this will flatten out once it's inked and i decide how to color it (for now you can see all my hand smudges from leaning on the page). i haven't quite decided on a palette for it, though i was playing around with some colors on it in Painter (which is why it has the dialogue bubble on it).
pbs is showing Dances with Wolves uninterrupted. how fitting. that movie still cracks me up.
