It’s good to take pictures of works in progress. Helps to know if you ruined a great black and white piece by coloring. Maybe that’s Frank Miller’s secret.

Notes:
- I need a naming convention for these. “Composition 10” doesn’t cut it, but I don’t want to get too clever. Maybe I’ll run them through a random password generator.
- Desperately need Copic markers in both warm and cool grays.
- The small 3×5 pieces feel stronger, maybe because it’s easier to be spontaneous at a small scale. If you screw up a 3×5 you’ve lost 10 minutes instead of hours.
- So far the process is: 1) quickly dash out the black outlines 2) agonize for hours over color placement
- It’s fun to flip back and forth between the two versions in a tabbed browser.
