oops -- IotF drawing
So in reviewing the manuscript for a detail I needed, I realized I'd overlooked a very important detail in a main character. (I'm being cryptic on purpose.) I can't leave it the way it is and claim ignorance or an oversight -- that's not professional. Anyone reading the story and comparing the illustration will see it immediately (especially the author). I can't fix the existing drawing. I'll have to start over tonight. Fortunately I'd only just started inking. Unfortunately the part I need to fix is what I inked.
I don't like to cut and paste a drawing (in the real sense, not the electronic). I like my finished art to have integrity (if I want to retouch something minor I scan it into Photoshop and finish it there). When I show original art I don't want to have globs of white Liquitex or pasted pieces of paper showing evidence of mistakes or revisions. I suppose there will come a time when I'll have to do that, but since this drawing isn't finished, I'll just transfer/trace the pencil composition to a new piece of bristol board and start inking fresh. Still, it'll take most of tonight to catch up to where I was.
Looks like I'm in for a couple of late nights. I need to get the finished art to LA by Saturday.
