Fables wasn't a series I followed at all. The deconstruction of Fables
and Mythology is old hat as it were to a child from the 70's. Writers
began the deconstruction during that period and so it was familiar
territory. To do these pages I read some of the books. I tried several
techniques in doing these pages which I failed at miserably, but only
in retrospect. Two page spreads are difficult. I laid the pages out,
printed the layouts, then drew the pages separately. Bad choice. My
understanding of perspective is getting better and I push myself pretty
hard to try new angles and shots, working on developing skills rather
than playing it safe. Because of that there are mistakes and failures.
This two page spread was a failure and not representative of what I am
capable of doing. Perhaps if I perfected playing it safe and get more
comicbook work under my belt and experimenting in my own time or on my
own projects I would get some pencilling work?
