Go big or go home

What I did:
- pagination: 4.5 hours
- color studies: 3 hours
- x-ray studies: 2 hrs
- supply shopping: 20 mins
- illustrating: 3 hours

What I discovered/encountered/:
     I swear, I am getting so close to the final story line. Each of the changes I am making is getting smaller (and more picky), yet more impactful. I was going through some old storyboards the other day. Not only is my current version more clear, but it is more exciting. This project has transformed from a desire to teach anatomy to a love of inspiring excitement about anatomy (which may in the end inspire learning). I am still working on making my book more exciting/interesting. I am attempting to do this by showing more up-close and personal pictures instead of panoramas. I am also cutting down the parts that lead up to the actual anatomy. (I mean its a book about x-ray glasses, there should be a bunch of x-ray views!!)
     These are the color deal-breakers, the things I won't let my book live without: continuity between xray and real life (yet a discernible disconnect), watercolor, pen, full color and monochrome. I have a lot more work to do in order to find there solution to my problem, but so far it isn't looking half bad.
     Bigger is better. I have a tendency (always have) to draw really tiny. I bought some big paper on Thursday and  have continued illustrating... full size! It is a little scary, but I am able to really work on composition and the little details that I wanted to add for clarity and interest, but they wouldn't fit in the other versions.

What's Next:
    Draw! Draw! Draw! I will have 10 different stabs at possible color treatments by Tuesday and I will have 5 full size drawings by Thursday.
