Finished sketches in blue

The sketches in blue are now finished, and the clean up will begin! Hopefully later today...

Here are the thumbnail and the sketches in blue:

The characters are quite finished, I just have to clean them up a bit. As you can see the only change that I've done from thumbnail to the larger sketch is the last panel on the bottom of 16B, where I put Héloise in semi profile looking at Quentin. This because it ties better with the previous panels.

My favourite pencils are the mechanical ones, I've got a whole range of them. Even for my sketching in blue I've used a mechanical pen. This time around my blue "leds" ran out, so I used another blue pencil, a regular one, and boy did I have to sharpen that one! Almost constantly I had to stop drawing to sharpen the tip on the pencil to get that fine line, that I get all the time with my mechanical pencil. I can understand why they use mechanical pencil sharpeners at the studios.

A funny thing that I noticed is that this blue pencil is quite hard to erase... so it will be interesting to see how the clean up will go...

Take care!
