Today’s art is brought to you by the number 4 and the letter Vaz.

So where to begin? Well first off, welcome one and all to the traffic
accident known as my creative process. When in conversation for what
to throw up on the spwug blog, Ms. Katy (the head cheese, big man,
head honcho, etc) showed interest in having sketches of mine put up
detailing a comic I am currently in the process of conceiving. the
following sketches were all done in 1 day, (the day right before this
blog post) and you can track the progress of my fatigue throughout.
I started this when I woke up with the initial sketch being finished
about 20 minutes prior to these notes, and once these notes are done,
I am heading to bed.

First off, a few points I want to stress:

1) When I do these sketches, I care very little for proper
perspective, anatomy and proportions. My sole goal is transferring
the images in my head to the paper. At this stage in the game,
refinement is not a concern.

2)Because these are the very first attempts at wresting the images
floating in my head, much of what you see may never reach the final
comic. Characters may change in appearance or even disappear all
together, or many, as in the case of “friends”, may get little to no
’screen” time. They exist simply to fill out a back history I need to
know in order to fill my blanks, but not necessarily important to the
over-all scheme of the finalized story. For example, the boy looks
very much like 2-D of the gorillaz at the moment and I hope to fix
that. Likewise when I do the final model sheet for “the girl” each
facial shot won’t look like it’s taken from a different genre.

Well I hope you enjoy. I’ll be happy to answer any questions after
class and don’t forget to bring textbooks next week.

Later true Cynics,

vaz
