I had this one scene in mind that I had to change for a pretty dumb reason. That dumb reason being me and my bad planning.
So I have this scene of my MC pulling down some covers on the side of his house. I sketched it from this angle:
Then I almost finish it when I remember the character has a plum tree on this side of his house. I've drawn it before and plants are important to the story so I can't just ignore it!
So I start painting the tree with the background layers off because I am stupid. When I turn the layers back on...
By now I feel like an idiot for dumping hours into this one scene that can't work. And I was really stuck on the scene being from this angle for some reason? Thankfully his house is pretty symmetrical and so is his design.
Now I flip it and I just need to draw the chrysanthemums that are on the other side of the garden. Which I redrew like three times because I haven't drawn chrysanthemums in color before and now my first time doing them is this scene instead of another scene I planned for practice.
I think I wasted two days doing this. All for this one scene in a fast paced sequence no one will spend more than five seconds looking at.
