Hamlet Work In Progress, continued

Work continues on Prince Of Denmark Street. As of Sunday April 26th, 10 days since I started drawing, I've completed 21 pages and the cover, 97 pages to go.

Drawn: Pages 31 - 47, 62 - 65.

Today I set the style for the songs, which look quite good though I say so myself, and got two pages drawn out in the sun in the back yard, which is most satisfying. I'll continue to log my work here as I go.

A little bit of fun, drawn to appear as an almost imperceptible background detail in one of the pages completed today.

Monday April 27th - 4 pages drawn (48 - 51). Happiness is drawing the "To Be Or Not To Be" sequence (below). Tomorrow I get to do "Get thee to a nunnery". 25 pages drawn, 93 to go.



Tues April 28 - 4 pages (52 - 55), "Get thee to a nunnery".

Weds April 29 - Just 2 pages (56 & 57), but that was Claud's flat (below). Plus I made a new Work In Progress video - Feedback.

Thurs April 30 - 4 pages (58 - 61). Joining up with the first pages I drew, we now have pages 31 to 65 drawn. 35 pages drawn, 83 to go.

I see, from January's diary, that I'm drawing PODS at about half the speed at which I rattled off Findlay Macbeth (4 pages a day to FM's up-to-8 pages a day).

Friday May 22nd - 4 pages (94 - 97). 97 pages drawn, 21 to go.

Also, on Friday 22nd, the printed Findlay Macbeths arrived. So, once those are posted out, I can start a Kickstarter for PODS.

Monday May 25th - 4 pages (98 - 101)
Tuesday May 26th - 3 pages (102 - 104)
Weds May 27th - 4 pages (105 - 108)
