Hi there.

If you’ve stuck with me so far, thank you.

As you can see, the quality drops off massively after page 18. Why that is:

  • I write a story structure
  • I flesh it out into a Storyboarding Script
  • I make that script into a storyboard
  • I do the final illustration

All of these things take different skills, different moods, different working set-ups. So I find I’m not able to do it all at once for each chapter. I parcel out the work into manageable chunks. All of these parts are happening in tandem, right now:

  • I’ve structured up to Chapter 7
  • I’ve written the storyboard script up to Chapter 6
  • I’ve finished the storyboard up to Chapter 3
  • I’m halfway through the final illustration for Chapter 1

My self-funded time off to make this book ends in September. My goal is to have the entire book Structured, all interviews done, all Storyboard scripted. If I get all of the storyboards done, that’s my ideal, but it’ll be a close thing.

There is no way I’ll get the final illustration done this year. I’m getting faster and faster at illustrating, but remember, I’m a beginner at all of this. It’ll take ages. And I have to go back to full-time work in September.

Nevertheless: I’ll publish the storyboards as I finish them, so that you can read along. That’ll make a book. The illustration is just to make it look nice.

Thank you for reading,

Oscar
