Hello friends!

First things first - here's two pages I've drawn today for the 'bonus content' section of Heartstopper: Volume 1 (minus the pink border haha!). Someone on Tumblr gave me this idea and I think it's really cute :) All the songs on the mixtape are from my own Heartstopper playlist, which you can listen to on Spotify here.

Secondly, I've been doing some thinking about the bonus content I want to include in this book and I've decided I'm probably not going to include a Tara/Darcy mini-comic. It's a phenomenal amount of extra work and I just don't think I have the time or energy for it, and if I commit to it, I'm going to be putting the Kickstarter off for another couple of months at least. I think I'll save it for Volume 2, which will probably work better anyway because Tara and Darcy will have actually had more of a proper appearance in the comic by then!

So, I've got 4 more pages of bonus content to fill up, and I'd love to hear any suggestions you peeps have for bonus content I could include! I've just got the character profiles and these mixtape pages so far. Ideally it's not anything too complex, and remember it has to be greyscale - there can't be any colour on any of the inside pages! Would you like just some casual sketches/illustrations? Or something a bit more quirky like this mixtape? Let me know :)

Thanks everyone!! xxx

Maybe you could draw like a box of memories that Charlie would keep. Like movie tickets from dates and little gifts they have given each other 😊

maybe little sketches of nick working on his birthday present for charlie

a collection of polaroids or photobooth strips or something really cute and cheesy like a page out of charlie’s notebook with nick’s name doodled all over it

Bryn

maybe drawings of whats inside their lockers? like books, notes, pics, etc

I LOVE all of this! YES. Loving the mixtape! I also think it’s a staple of early relationships when people make each other mix tapes/cds and I would LOVE LOVE to see what Nick and Charlie would recommend to each other!! Things that’s also might be cool??! - Nick in full Rugby uniform, standing all heroic-like, as he does :) - Tea seems to be a very cozy ritual they share, so maybe a close up on two mugs with tea steeping? Each could have a funny saying or design that matches up with their characters?! - I also loveeee the theme of their shoes throughout your imagery, and maybe having, at the end, their feet touching with just socks? Is that really silly?? I just have this idea that Charlie never wears matching socks, and Nick wears socks with VERY SILLY patterns on them (and probably a hole in the big toe let’s be real). (I’m obviously a goober??) - Each of them as little kids!! Just so so so excited each time I get my heartstopper notifications! Thank you, as always, for adding so much brightness with this lovely world.

maybe a look into their phones? their lockscreens, some of the texts they sent each other etc?

Have you considered doing a cute Rugby Team photo maybe ?????? Or like a set of three takes of it because people (Narlie) keep laughing and getting distracted. 🙄 I think that’d be adorable

t could be an image of each one where it shows the things they like and what they do not like, as well as an image of what they have inside of their bags, like that "Meet the artist" meme that some artist participated. To know better the tastes of the protagonists. ♥

What about each page being clothing they'd wear like a wardrobe tour!! Or sketches of them in different outfits :)

Everyone has lovely ideas so yes to everything I read lmao. Something in mangas I always found cute was how they sometimes put a very short and funny mini-comic about themselves, usually a story related to the creation of their manga, or this specific volume. I think it's nice because it allows people to know more about the artist while "discovering" the background of their creation(s)...
