Location scouting!

We're in the first step of making a comic book here - location scouting around the city! The story will be based in Los Angeles (though not explicitly), so I plan on doing much more of this...
I've already got the Griffith Park Observatory chosen for the first scene, so with these videos and a few photos for reference, I should be able to start laying out the angles and outlining everything over the next week.
SO EXCITING!
ALSO EXCITING - it's already DAY 19 of daily videos! :)

That observatory was a spot for the Rebel without a cause scene... 'when facing the universe all problems on earth are meaningless'. Maybe such places bring different inspirations by their nature. Love to watch your work in progress.

[@Claggy53]

Really enjoying hearing about the process. It’s like a look behind the scenes. Also the excitement and enthusiasm your are giving off is inspiring me to begin a project I have been avoiding taking action on.

[@vritarita6871]

Will keep watching closely! I love following new projects. And I like stories about comics' creation. Good luck!

[@jitkamikulastik4807]

Niice! I'm very excited for you! And the approaching springtime is the best time to start doing something new ;)

[@PopFizzPaperDani]

Love Griffith Observatory! I find it a very inspiring place and have been there lots. They once had a lady’s space themed jewelry on display in the cases that line the hallway down into the Big Room below - it was amazing. She had so many pieces! Another time, I created little mixed media coins (galaxy themed of course) and left them around for others to find and take home. Such a cool place, and I’m thrilled you got to experience it!

I'm excited to see your progress toward this project.

I love Griffith Park Observatory, I had the opportunity to visit in December, it was really cool to see the sunset from there.

[@misquitocreates9005]

I'm so excited to see your comic!!! I am also scared that you will finish yours before I finish mine, which I am drawing pages for already. I know that this is because I'm just scared I won't ever finish mine. Yours seems like you are putting a lot of thought into it. I cannot wait to see the beautiful finished project!

[@anaisrolland4976]

It's so exciting to hear about your progress, this year I also decided to take drawing more seriously by drawing every day and making a comic book. I have no idea where to start but it's exhilarating. In many ways you inspired me to stay focused on that passion over the years through your videos, so a huge thank you for sharing your journey :) I can't wait to learn more about your process !

[@aadisam3190]

Your 30 day skill challenges video inspired me to finally learn drawing, something I have always wanted to do but never had the motivation to do it. And then I found out that you wanna make a comic which has motivated me even more. I am on day 9 of daily drawings and already feeling so great. A huge thanks to you for sharing your journey and inspiring us. Best of luck for your challenges and projects. Have a great day.

[@Lefie]

This is amazing to hear, Aadi! If you keep going, I'll keep going. 😄

[@nadyartillustration]

I’m so excited for you and to see what you make! In 2013 I did a 365 days drawing challenge and it has helped me tremendously back then to create the habit and refine skills. Until this say I’m glad I did it!

[@lissamatthews]

Gosh, I hope you're able to be the structured creative and writer. I'm a binge writer. I have tried for years to be the structured one, I've so desperately tried to fit the mold, but I'm not. I'm a binge writer. I'm so excited to witness your process.

[@Jaichbinhier]

Purely due to having my weekend booked (hahaha) in advance, I didn't watch this video or the two previous until this morning. The trio flowed really well together, almost as if it were planned! 🤣 I think it will be fun to hear the updates about writing this story. 😃

[@Lefie]

"almost as if it were planned" 🙃

[@calistafalcontail]

Even though I am not really into american comics (so far), I do love Leyendecker and Rockwell as illustrators. I am a fellow graphics designer and general artsy fartsy person in private but I havent published much of my private works to the world yet. I like seeing your process diving in.

[@michelecooper1486]

Absolutely fascinating!

[@AnastasiyaOnline]

This short everyday videos are my favorite show now! And the end of each episode you get a clue "what's next" 🖤

[@dianeaishamonday9125]

Ah, you're a sneaky one! 😁 Just keep that crown on your head and it'll all be dandy 👑🤗🤍

[@dianeaishamonday9125]

And yes, we love hearing about your creative process! 🤍🌹🤍🌹

[@mariaetheridge8343]

You! Clean house? It's sparkling!! I'm just curious to know what the end product will be: film / book / comic / artwork... Yeah - just a nosey old woman.

[@mariaetheridge8343]

Hmm.. obviously missed the bit about a comic being created... 💪 Ignore my previous 🤔

[@Ginut]

Wicked psyched for this

[@letuche]

reminded me of a place in the amazing videogame The Witness

[@robot7759]

Hi Lefie, I'm sorry but creativity and having a solid structural plan may very well bite each other. Perhaps you might consider dividing your time between the two? Just a suggestion 😇 The reason I mention this is because everything I've ever created never turned out the way I had in mind at the start. Plans and ideas grow and change inevitable, and to me there's always a point where the creation kinda starts to live it's own life, and kind of "dictates" what it wants to become. So I give in and go with the flow. I wish you all the best on this project and please don't be to hard on yourself 😉

[@Lefie]

For sure, Rob! I'd like to get it outlined just to have a place to start from, but once I start filling it in, I'm sure it'll take on a life of its own. Much like these videos, actually. 😁

[@robot7759]

@@Lefie Okay Lefie, you've got this, sorry, I got a different vibe from the video 😅

[@SteveAbrahall]

Hay I hope you get a cat in there some where in this comic book - a black cat may be? You know I know about this poor cat, and he dosen't even have his own insta! 😿😺😿

[@Lefie]

Bahaha, fine Steve, I'll have to find a spot for one... 😆

I'd love to join a Discord server for writers/artist in general, if you'll every made one

[@blattlaus4002]

Lefie, whats about health? Dont forget :) video idea: Lets take a run together or do some yoga or meditation.

[@Lefie]

Hi, raw lion! The first four months of the year, I'm focusing on financial health (which for me means trying to make a career change into comics while establishing a few passive income sources). The next four months, I'll focus on physical health, and the last four months, I'll focus on mental/spiritual health. I also said it's "a loose theme," because it's healthy for me creatively to have some room to play! 🙂

[@blattlaus4002]

Thank you, I am excited about all the topics :D
