RLT-pt3-27 Revised by Laura Seabrook, on Flickr

This is possible revision format to part 3 of REAL LIFE TRIPS. The previous version was mostly text with illustrations and even a suggestion change of reducing the text (see this version) didn't make it much better. I like this, but it will be a lot of work if I go this way.

A possible revision to part 2 of Real Life Trips - ditching the colour but retaining the monotone. Also, the same thing for part 4:

Revised Colouring by Laura Seabrook, on Flickr

Something I worked on today, for Real Life Trips. The original was traced in and coloured in Illustrator. The revised uses my original line work in Clip Studio Paint and has been coloured and tones in that.

I need to make a few revision to the graphic novel, and this is what I'm thinking of doing.

and

Mockups-Transway-House by Laura Seabrook, on Flickr

The first just eliminates plain text at the bottom and changes the page size. The second just streamlines the text to reduce page count.

One of the things I have been looking at is re-doing the graphic novel as six individual comics - each with its own trip/story, and page format. This is a mockup in Clip Studio Paint. It's not quite right, yet (needs to have space for the rhyming couplets).

Actually I'm looking forward to this because I can use my original artwork rather than an Illustrator autotrace, and colouring and tones will also be much better.

I dropped off copies of my graphic novel to Graduate Studies. This means I've done my research paper (exegesis) and my boy of work. I am so pleased about this!!!

More portraits by Laura Ess, on Flickr

I revised the introduction to the graphic novel. I added a couple of portraits to this page of the Introduction of Real Life Trips (the TEXT has been removed for clarity). The top one was drawn over two years ago using paper and gel pens. The bottom two were done this morning in Clip Studio paint.

Linework for the final page of REAL LIFE TRIPS. I still haven't drawn the one before it yet!

After a bout of mild illness and procrastination I'm drawing again! It's a start. This is the counsellor "Mindy" in the last section of the graphic novel.

Thumbnail of my working in Illustrator on section 6 of REAL LIFE TRIPS - yes, lots of text interspersed with illos. Certain characters haven't been drawn yet, hence the gaps.

Haven't fixed either the fridge or the toilet seat, but I've done THIS:

Will upload the finished thing (with text) shortly.

RLT-pt5-24 by Laura Ess, on Flickr

The last page of section 5 of Real Life Trips. A weird thing happened when I started working on this - I realised I needed a Section 6!

...done for Real Lifec Trips. Here's the first of those

The rest will be uploaded soon.

Can you spot which film's playing in the first panel?

Tones and text next, when it becomes obvious which one it is.

First sframing story page for part five. All of a sudden, Elsie's being drawn realistically (as remembrance comes closer to the present).

Finished the last page of part 4, here's the last row:

After this there's Part 5 which has two shorter trips, and an epilogue.

Dana is saying goodbye to Som, the surgeon's secretary, and then Else and Dana pack for the trip back home the following day.
