Page 1 Flats (Patreon)
Content
This page took me a pretty long time to set up. Normally flats and inks take me about a day to so but this was more of a 2-3 day affair. Par for the course, though. The first page always takes a bit longer than the rest because I'm figuring out color direction. Pretty much any time I change a scene to somewhere else it takes me a ton of time to figure out how I want to color it. Every other page after is usually a little more streamline.
The small panels at the bottom were actually the trickiest even though in the end they will be mostly covered with text. Whoops. I referenced a particular college campus I used to live near for the outdoor hallway.
I also threw in some early stages right after the inks in case people were interested. Originally the bottom panels were going to be at dusk but I wanted to add in the blue so the whole page wouldn't just be red/orange. You can also see the un-blurred detail and brick texture (from here if anyone is looking for some nice bricks to use in the future: https://unsplash.com/photos/kg_sd8IOLlY )
