THROAT NOTES, as told in sketchbooks (Patreon)

Hi! So!

I don't leave a whole lot of evidence when I make a film. There are no formal storyboards or animatics, no rough versions of anything- I usually keep working each shot, from conception to completed animation, inside the one digital file where any figuring-out is drawn directly over or deleted as I go.
BUT, scattered throughout my sketchbooks, there's a kind of fractured version of the film running alongside.

Before a film, and in the early stages of it, I might do some nicer sketches and then look at them and say "hey, I might use that idea".
The sketches from later in production are usually a lot less realized and more like anxious scribbles, which come about because I'm struggling to make sense of something in the computer, and so I grab the nearest bit of paper to do some quick problem solving, or to do quick-fire variants of a design until something I like happens.

ANYWAY, here are all the previously unseen ones I could find of THROAT NOTES, spread across 6 or 7 different sketchbooks. Apart from these drawings here, there are also all my sketches of the POSSUM (the one in the straw hat), and the HUMAN (the big weirdy who pokes frogs), which I shared during production!
