This is what's on the board.
This is what my drawings look like when they're just about all figured out, just before I go to the final version to color. This will get a few tweaks, but mostly, its 'there'. Its a patchwork of cut-out individual drawings all taped together, with a sheet of tracing paper over them with a few extra bits drawn on. In other words, a sloppy mess! Even though I could do this in Photoshop, I still like to do it the old-fashioned way. What can I say.
I've decided to take out the tree in the background top right - think it detracts from the characters down front. It will be all 'field'.
Oh, forgot to say - Happy FALL!! When this drawing is colored, it will make sense ...

This is how I like to work also and working on the computer is so different and
no matter how positively I approach it, a
pain instead of a pleasure.
I LOVE your sheep and can't wait to see where you're going.
You made my day, Paula, with you 'real' sketches. I, too, feel happier with a pencil than a keyboard. Enjoy your blog so much!

it's nice to see behind the screen shots. thanks for sharing.
I'm glad someone else works things out on real paper. There's a satisfaction in sketching, cutting, pasting and rearranging, than is never there in electronic form.
I especially love the sheep checking out his backview in the mirror, kindly held by his woolly friend!
Three big fat cheers for "traditional" media!!!
