New chapter and sketches in red...!

I thumbnailed this chapter when the last chapter took a short break, between clean up and inking. So the thumbnailing of chapter 5 is done! Yesterday I enlarged the sketches with a red pencil, and that is also done! What I'm up to at the moment is to give the red sketches another pass, and thus beginning the clean up, so in a manner of speaking the clean up is begun! When I thumbnailed it I found out that this chapter will be a tad longer, actually the longest yet!

Since my last mistake of using an unerasable blue pencil, this time I'm using a pencil that is much more erasable and since I like to have the ability to erase parts of my drawings, I like this one. It's a Prismacolor Col-Erase tuscan red. It might be hard to find but if you see it, try it out! I can truly recommend it.
The only fault with it is that it's not a mechanical pencil... But I'm such a mechanical pencil-guy, as I've probably written before, it's so easy and fast, just to click the pencil and you can continue to draw instead of finding that sharpener and use it and then go back to where your were and continue and a few minutes later finding that sharpener again and so on, and so on. Boy is this an industrial state problem or what...!?

As I've written above, I'm going over the red penciled pages ones more, and why do I do that? Well, I'm doing that to lighten the burden of the clean up, I find the clean up to be a bit tedious, if I'm not in a clean up groove off course... a couple of chapters ago I found out that if I make quite detailed red- or blue sketches, the clean up goes much more smoothly. And it also gets me to work the pages more, to give them another look. The first pass is very loose and the second pass is more detailed, see below. So what's left is just to go over them ones more, with a mechanical pencil(!), and work out the quirks!

Take care!
