Ch1, Page 5 Lines (Patreon)

I don't know how many progress pictures I'll post per page (or at what stage you prefer to see them), but here's a look at the line work for page 5. In it, I'm trying to refine the level of detail at various scales, and continue working towards an acceptable level of simplification for the visuals.

I've left out some details here, such as the bricks on the castle walls, and instead just left some perspective guides for the bricks (such as in the last panel), so I can paint them in with color. The bricks will be another test. I do not wish to draw every brick, as so many details would be unnecessary. But how to gracefully show the texture with as few bricks as possible... that will be the trick.

Oh, and here's a fun fact. I'm actually working at a lower resolution than my previous comics. I figured this would challenge me to not get so caught up in the details. Let's hope it helps!
