Brush with Peril, page 009 – Drafts

Below is the original scan for the first draft of this page, which was created 6/28-8/2/09.

If you read my Page 008 – Commentary, I talk about realizing that I wanted to reference more art than I’d thought to do during these first pages, hence the alteration later (Aug and Sep 2019!) to panel five.

Notice also, above panel 2, I was brainstorming dialogue (in pencil) and even printed in ink (above panels 1 and 2) some dialogue that I would insert elsewhere (some of which I opted not to insert after all).  I had a tendency back then not to think of the page as a completed work of art, but instead as a slab where I could clutter up anything I might need for the printed version, and then I’d clean up, move and alter everything in Photoshop later. Putting them on pages like this insured I wouldn’t lose them when I needed to access them later!

In 2015, I discussed making this comic in full color, and my best friend, Gerry Chow began digitally coloring the comic. Below is what he did with this page.

Below you can see the edit to panel 5 I made in 2019 (You can see the original scan of the art in Page 008 – Drafts), that I inserted into Gerry’s colors, coloring the alteration myself.
