This is my first Comic Creation Update since New Year's Day! I hope 2018 has been treating everyone well so far. It's already going by in the blink of an eye for me!
As I mentioned briefly in the prior column, I've had a bit of extra motivation lately. To make 2018 a very productive year; myself, 
In this second week of the challenge, I got the ball rolling on my interior sequentials. So, c'mon, take my hand and I'll show you what I've been up to!
My goal for this week was to pencil the first page of "I Thought It Would Be Zombies..." While I didn't quite finalize everything in the pencils I'm pretty satisfied with the progress so far. I'll be completely redrawing panel 4 though, I don't like that face at all.
As I was tired, stumped, or frustrated at times, I transitioned into starting on the "inking" stage of the artwork. I'm doing my best to get in the habit of shifting focus productively when such things happen. It's better to absentmindedly ink a panel than to absentmindedly wander to the couch and watch Perfect Strangers while eating Pop Tarts. (Yes, I have the mind of an 8 year old... what do you expect, I draw comics!)
I'm going to continue accelerating through January and be at top speed by the spring! The minimum pace I hope to achieve is 2 completed pages per month which will land me with a mostly finished first issue by year's end. This regular column gives you shotgun ridealong privileges for this exciting/boring journey!
