Das ist ein Test

Update on the "tryout" book, here are the pages I printed this evening:

On the bottom you can see the first page of the book, I named it "TESTING!", because of my favourite scene from "The Simpsons".

I guess I'm going to finsh printing the pages tomorrow and then I'll try and bind the books by myself, without the help of the workshopmanager, on Saturday and/or Sunday (I hope I won't mess everything up!) after printing the paper for the book covers. I aIso ordered transparent elastic band to bind the books, so the stitching won't disturb the pictures on the double pages, I hope it'll work.

Uhm...I forgot.

I didn't really do any drawings lately and I still didn't get on with my zombie chapter, because I started printing another book.
It's been a very long time since I last bound a hardcover book, so I'm completely out of practise. I don't even fully understand the notes I wrote down to remember each stept of the bookbinding process anymore.
So I thought I could make some tryout/practising books, but since I did all these sketch/notebooks (for which I actually have no use and I think I'll give most of them away) lately, I didn't want them to have blank pages.
That's why I was working all day long to prepare a content for these books yesterday. They will contain most of the digital drawings I posted on this blog, which is a lot. Every book will have 48 pages an some of them are going to be multicoloured (some of the graphics will have 3 colours, like blue+red+black). The colours I'm using are: gold, red, blue, yellow and black and the size of the books will be about 21 x 14,8 cm.
I guess I will be occupied with printing the pages for the rest of this week (even tough I'm provided with 4 screens this time!), because I'm planning to print the paper for the bookcover, too.
So hopefully I can start binding the books next week, when the workshop manager is back, so she can help me understand the notes I took some years ago. :D

Endlich...

I finished printing the second chapter of my book! Yay.
Now my feet are killing me, because I was standing and working in the studio for 7 hours nonstop. x_x

Here are some crappy photos of what I did:

I'm going to lie down now...maybe I'll go on drawing the next chapter tomorrow.

Now I finally started printing the "cephalopods" chapter of my book! Here's the proof:

I didn't finish printing the red layers today, because there were too many other peolpe working in the studio, so at some point I wasn't able to concentrate anymore due to all the fuss.
That's why I then went to my studio, where it's quiet and I worked a bit more on my brains:

Plus I made this:

 I did only a single print of this...it's a birthday present for myself. :D
