Two weeks one day left.

I've scanned one of my worksheets here to show you how this works. About once a day I'll generate a pdf of the entire book in spreads and print it out. The prints are then drawn over with anything that I think may be needed to finished the job. Digital illustration uses a lot of paper you see. Tombou 4B's and Sharpies are used for the worksheet process.

The kind of things that end up on the worksheets include notes on layering, character posing, special effects, repositioning type etc. It helps me to push towards the end and its good to get away from the computer every once in a while. Also because these sheets are half the size of the finished book (about 10" across) they're a lot easier to manage and keep track of than large sized prints that I'll use later for final finishing.

I'm not suggesting that this should be the way anyone else would do it, thats just the way I do it. After working for years as a designer and storyboard artist I can't really ever get away from the paper, I like the feel of it.
