After much battling with Adobe Premiere, I’ve finally managed to cobble together this video 🫠

Anyway!! This is the first installment in a series where I bring you along with me as I illustrate my debut graphic novel, Ladykillers. Yours truly is still pretty new to this whole long-form video editing thing, so please bear with me as I figure out a good method for making these videos!

In the meantime, let me know what sort of footage you’d like me to capture as I keep working on the comic 😁 or if you have questions about my process, characters, or story. I’m sure I’ll need more things to ramble about in the next couple of installments!!

Anyway, thanks for tuning in—I hope you enjoyed this video 😁

Loved seeing you start on paper! For some reason, I never considered using a gridded sketchbook 😂 I just kept suffering every time I had to draw a box lmao Can't wait to see more process videos!

Seeing the process is neat, and the bloopers are fabulous. Talking into a camera is definitely a skill though, I completely feel you. I find it super hard to maintain eye contact with the camera and coherent thoughts at the same time, lol 🤪

Truly, I am very grateful to past me for getting a grid-lined notebook instead of a blank one!! I bet a dot-matrix pattern would also suffice without being as busy as grid lines, but I think this option was cheaper back when I bought the journal 🤣

IT SURE IS 💀 I've never been more hyperconscious of how many filler-sounds I use in my day-to-day speech!!!

I love this!! As a fan and as someone working on their own first graphic novel, this is super interesting and enormously helpful. Can't wait to see more!!

I'm so glad you found this helpful!! I'm sure there are more efficient ways to do what I'm doing, but so far this method of traditional > digital has been pretty good at keeping me moving forward (instead of getting lost in the details)!

Agreed! I like the combo of traditional and digital! I know it keeps me in practice with both. And I feel more license to get messy with traditional, so a lot of my scribbling and sketching happens there.
