Figure Drawing: Week 5
THE MODEL I REALLY LIKE IS BACK AND HE’S BETTER THAN EVERThe 1s!I keep making the model’s heads long :l; blrughghghMan this has been pretty great practice on drawing feet, considering the only time I draw feet is in BCB and it’s blob Sonic feet :-[ SOMETHING I SHOULD REALLY PRACTICE OUTSIDE OF THE COMIC.Hey, I numbered this one!! These are some 2s! Why didn’t I number the ones before!! Aughgh!! Sometimes I couldn’t hear what the instructor was saying so I guess that’s why there’s t...

Figure Drawing: Week 4
Week four!!! MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE NUDE. YEAH.The 1s!!I liked these 2-minute poses ;_;Here come the 5s!The 10min is to the right! I’m trying to apply methods that were taught to me in COFA, slowly but surely..Working with the negative space around her and measuring and all that stuff, that’s why there’s lines all around her hahahah, I did do that method in previous sessions, but this page is pretty notable in how visible it looks.YOUR HEAD!!! AUGDHSGKDHFXGThe 20 :-[Back to the 2s!I liked her...
Figure Drawing: Week 3
It’s week 3 and IT’S A WOMAN!!! WHOA!!You can tell how upset I was at how I boned the anatomy in the middle drawing :l I was very angry at the huge head and the long arms and suddenly the torso and everything-else is super tiny?? god!! What is this!! That kicked me into shape and I tried a little harder with the next sketch. I tried to be extra conscious about the proportions.Sometimes as you’re doing quick-sketches for 1-2 minute poses you just completely mess up like that. It’s good to...
Figure Drawing: Week 2
We’re back with week 2! I LOVE THIS MODEL SO MUCH. HE’S GOT SO MANY MUSCLES AND HE’S REALLY NICE AND DOES MANY VARIED POSES AND HOLY COW THIS IS A GOOD MODEL.It was also his first time AND HE WAS SO GOOD!!!!I was late to this class because I was coming back from Myrtle Beach, so I was very stressed and upset :( I arrived when they were doing the five-minute poses so I completely missed the 1s and 2s.. LET’S GET STRAIGHT INTO ITLookin’ cool.I liked how this one turned out, I’m slowly ...
Thumbnail Dump: Love Again
Not all thumbnails. They’re too hard to read! But here are some highlights from the thumbnails that came together to make Love Again, annotated by Veronica.Here’s the transition into Lucy’s flashback. Originally, page 24 was going to have Lucy saying “You know why.. [page break] you saved my life.”I thought it fit better for the flashback to begin when Lucy and Augustus confront Lucy’s parents, since Lucy’s parents DIDN’T know the details about Augustus saving Lucy and they had t...
Figure Drawing: Week 1
WHO’S READY FOR SOME NAKED PEOPLEI’ve been going to figure drawing classes since the beginning of August! It’s something Souppy has been suggesting for.. literally years? I think the sketchpad he bought specifically for me to attend these classes was bought in 2015.WELL NOW I’M DOING IT, and every week I’ll post my progress for you guys!! With some commentary here and there, and you can see everything!! Even my biggest blunders :-[ LET THIS BE A LEARNING EXPERIENCE, because drawing peo...
Model Girlfriend’s alternate ending
Model Girlfriend’s ending went through so many revisions. The sequence where Mike and Sandy played video games at home was quite different. Here’s a sketched sequence that was adjusted pretty significantly in the final product.So that awkward moment eased into the “I’ll watch you play” part. Here are thumbnails for those pages, with unedited dialogue (if you can make it out):After this, Sandy was to make her move on Mike, then cry, he’d hug her back, and she’d put her hand on his f...

Page Deconstruction #4: Model Girlfriend
In this series, Veronica will summarise the most interesting pages from old chapters and explain some of the process that went into making the final thing! This time, it’s Model Girlfriend!! And it’s a big one!Page 9: Sorta sad about losing the spunky-looking Sandy in the first initial sketch, she looks so bright-eyed and cute, but she should be looking all animu-beautiful instead :(Page 11: Goodness was that final panel difficult. Sandy took over enough of the foreground that Mike would hav...
Page Deconstruction #3: Clean Slate
In this series, Veronica will summarise the most interesting pages from old chapters and explain some of the process that went into making the final thing! This time, we’re doing Clean Slate!Page 9: Some differences in poses are interesting in this, as well as different dialogue.Abbey’s mocking of Paulo in the fourth panel is notable, Jasmine takes a totally different tone in panel 3!Page 10: My favourite part of doing comics is getting to a page where the dialogue STILL hasn’t been finall...

Page Deconstruction #2: Golden Hour
In this series, Veronica will summarise the most interesting pages from old chapters and explain some of the process that went into making the final thing! This time, we’re getting into Golden Hour!!Page 6: Madison was a new character and even though I already did some concept sketches of her in the past, I still didn’t feel fully comfortable with her design and was struggling with her at first. I “finalised” her design prematurely and instead of altering it into something I WAS happy wi...
Page Deconstruction #1: Guest of Honor
Time now for the first page deconstruction post! In this series, Veronica will summarise the most interesting pages from old chapters and explain some of the process that went into making the final thing! Let’s start with Guest of Honor!Page 11: There are many pages in Guest of Honour that were primarily written by Souppy.

Expressions Goldmine #1: Dial Tone
It’s the inaugural Expressions Goldmine post! In this series, Veronica will go through old chapters, look at the sketch layers and highlight interesting expressions and art changes that didn’t make it into the final chapter! Here goes (in reverse, for some reason):Funfact, this sequence was actually recycled from a very eventful chapter I planned out all the way back in 2007, but I realised the chapter was wayyyyy too edgy once I.. grew older and wiser. It involved Mike being so ridden with ...
February’s stream drawings up on Candybooru!
You can check all the drawings from February’s stream on Candybooru!Took a little while to post this message about them, but hey, I finally figured out a reliable way to make image montages like the one above, so it should be faster next time! Our next stream will be Friday, April 7!
Test! Test! Here are some sketches.
This is just a test of the patron-only post thing. This should go out to everyone at the $5+ levels.These are the sketches drawn in the last drawing stream between the actual complete drawings! Seems like a good thing to try this out with.We’re going to start posting truly new exclusive stuff to the Patreon this month, but give us a little time! There’s a lot going on right now. But thanks for supporting us regardless — we’ve really appreciated the boost! (Here’s the info on the change...
New tiers for a restructured Patreon (Action required!)
We are shifting our Patreon’s focus from drawing streams to patron-only posts of behind-the-scenes content. We have a bunch of ideas lined up, like an “Expressions Goldmine” series hand-picked by Veronica, a selection of thumbnails that show the process behind each chapter, and other production details! Posts like these will be the new focus of the Patreon, with a new $5 tier available for those who want access to them.Those who have existing $2, $5 or $12 pledges should change them to the...
