Day 64: Week 10 Summary

Well, the streak is over.  I took my first day off on Wednesday thanks to a two and a half hour traffic jam on the way home from work.  I could have forced my way through a few exercises that night, but the only thing creative that I wanted to do was make new combinations of four letter words.

I'm still working with a club member to finalize a design for our club's business card, so I'm holding onto the process works until that's settled.  When there's a finished product I'll put up the step by step process from draft > lines > ink > digital finish so I can break down where some of my time has gone this week.

Still, innate practice like Jazza mentioned in the tutorials this week is pretty rare for me.  It was a nice change of pace from staring at other people's pictures or running through another exercise that involves doodling some object in my office.  Hopefully I'll be able to stretch my artist legs more in that direction when I get enough progress into my comic to start drafting the first issue.

Slim pickings for scans this week because of the missed day, club project, and charcoal work not being scanner friendly.  It felt like a productive week to have so little to show for it.  I'll have to try to refocus next week to get better results instead of getting lost on so many side tangents.

* I'm considering Friday to be the end of the week for tracking metrics so that it lines up with my summary posts.

** I had to use a some fuzzy math to figure the page count for some of my Kindle books since they only have location tagging.
