The past two days’ worth of shows were dedicated to drawing the pencils for the next page of Peter & Company. I originally had hoped to get the whole page done in time for this past Monday’s update, but that didn’t quite work out as well as I’d planned. Instead, I’m going to dedicate time this weekend to inking and make sure to get everything finished in time for this coming Monday’s schedule update. I hate missing weeks of P&C pages.
Also, I’m going to be setting a new schedule for each week of this show’s listed topics. I know I had it listed as a daily show, but realistically speaking I just am not able to keep up a daily broadcast. Since I’ve determined that I usually end up doing about half the shows that I usually plan to do each week, I’m going to try setting the schedule for an every-other-day sort of plan. It will change each week as to which days I end up broadcasting, so always check back here every Monday to see the updated list for the coming topics.
On a sidenote, this is also in anticipation of my working on future pages of The Chronicles of Ademar. Since I don’t plan on publishing the entire issues online, I can use the days off from broadcasting as time to work on the pages without showcasing them to the public. I’ll still do pages for shows down the line as previews of upcoming issues, but I want time off-camera to produce the main bulk of the comic.
Anywho, hit the jump to watch the two videos splitting up the penciling for Peter & Company.

Part one of the painting of the second page of Ademar was done tonight on camera. I managed to get probably halfway through the page in one sitting tonight. It’s going to take a bit longer than the first page took since there’s a bit more detail — as well as multiple panels — but I shouldn’t have any problem getting through at least a couple pages by the end of this week. I doubt I’ll be able to finish all three. We’ll see.
Check out the video after the jump for the painting, a preview of a really awesome dinner, and a bit of piano at the end.

Tonight’s show started off with an hour of messing around on piano, followed by another hour spent finishing the inking of lineart for page four of Ademar. The next step will be to start painting pages 2-4 now that the inking is all done! Sweet.

Tonight was originally scheduled to be a day of drawing pencils for Peter & Company, but I wasn’t happy with the script I had written so I decided to wait until tomorrow. As a last-minute substitution, I opted to finish inking page 3 of Ademar and get about halfway through inking page 4.

Tonight was a very fun evening. Whitney and I worked together to produce a single piece of artwork: she drew the initial sketch, and I handled the inking and painting. For an upcoming show we plan on switching roles (I’ll draw, and she’ll paint in watercolors). As always, the process was recorded for those who are interested in seeing how it was done and weren’t able to tune in.

After taking a week off due to craziness of the holiday weekend and my coming down with a pretty hectic cold, I booted up the cam tonight and got some good time in to resume working on Ademar. I cleaned up a few parts of the pencils that needed fixing and started the inking of page two. The rest of the pages will come over the next few shows. The recorded video from tonight’s session, along with the work-in-progress of the inking, after the jump:

I’m back from the wedding and completely refreshed! Everything went smoothly and the stress of planning the whole event is now gone. As such, I’ve jumped back into being productive, and spent the past couple nights’ worth of broadcasts producing the next page of Peter and Company.

Tonight I managed to finish the inking of Peter & Company early, so I decided to record a bit of piano improvisation. I want to write a new piece of music since it has been years since I last tried. This video shows my work process when it comes to writing music: that is to say, entirely trial-and-error until I come up with something I like.
At around the 27 minute mark, I finally find the melody as I think it should be. I’m going to be working on developing this song into something much bigger over the next couple weeks when I’m not working on my comic projects.

I seem to be playing piano more and more at some point during these web broadcasts. Today I played it a bit to warm up, but didn’t hit the record button until I started up the pencils. However, halfway through my hands needed a quick break, so I hopped back onto the piano, which ended up being recorded. So you get a little bit of it mixed in with the pencils for tonight’s recording.

Started off tonight’s show with 45 minutes of piano playing to warm up my hands for the inking. Once that was done, I cranked out the Peter & Company page’s finished inks in about an hour and a half. This marks the first new comic to be published online in almost six months, which is the longest hiatus in the comic’s five-year history. It’s absolutely ridiculous how long it took me to get back up to speed with my drawing abilities after my hospital trip, but I’m just glad that it’s finally over.
