storyboarding 🌿 (Patreon)

hey, just want to show some (wonky) storyboard panels! The past days I've had quite the motivation boost to work on the storyboard and I love how it turns out so far ;; seeing it all in front of me makes me feel super pumped to draw the scenes properly 🌟 I now have a solid storyboard for the next few scenes up to where we close the flashback and return to present!

Having a storyboard for the next few months set out for me is so comforting, too. It all becomes so manageable and I see it's within reach! But also, while I often say "when the flashback is over" I really enjoy working on the flashback currently. Whenever I think about it I'm just grateful I can include everything that shaped their relationship - the nice things, the not so nice things, everything.

Sometimes after I watch or read romance I'm left not knowing enough about the characters. I don't know their hobbies, I don't know big parts of their lives, and I'm a bit sad that in romance the romance often gets cut short (does that make sense?). Of course as a writer and artist I know it's impossible to include everything, but for example in romance movies I often miss the actual connection between characters. I often don't know why they fall in love, and I miss those little gestures that aren't entirely sexual, those little moments where you feel they just connected with each other. It's not just about kisses or physical touches... it's something deeper that I don't really know how to describe. But I often feel like "I want to know more", but there isn't more.

And well, what I wanted to say is... I have the chance to give myself what I'm missing in my own comic as well as I can! I can explore all those feelings properly, from when they were younger too, without having to take short cuts. It takes time, yes, but slow burn pays off and I want more of all that good pining 🖤 (and share it with you while I'm at it)

PS: I'll update a new scene for patreon and for public (wt&tapas) tomorrow! 🌸
