Here are the colors for page 7 of Matchmaking Mishaps. Pacifica is embarrassed about her new swimsuit, but she misses her opportunity to back down.
I'm still a bit unsure on some colors here. For the backgrounds I tried sticking closer to the colors of the lake from the show, but we'll see how the water color works when characters are actually in it. There's also a chance I may adjust swimsuit colors, but as of now I think they're fine as is.
Here is the sketch for page 8 of Matchmaking Mishaps. Mabel makes way with Wendy to give Dipper space to tend to Pacifica.
A lot of figures in this one so that took a lot of time to sketch, but that makes it even better that the backgrounds are simple. Next I line this and get it ready to color for Friday.
Here are the lines for page 8 of Matchmaking Mishaps. A lot of figures in this one, so it took an annoyingly long time to line this, but finally done. There are not background lines for the final panel because I'll be doing that one fully in color without lines. I'll have this colored for Friday.

This page had the inverse body angles that always make deciding which direction to add shadows from on different figures a pain. But, I think I worked it out well enough.
Here is the sketch for page 9 of Matchmaking Mishaps. Pacifica approves of Dipper's assistance, and while she can't quite get to the level suggested by Mabel, she does inadvertently take an extra step of her own.
Much less figures than the previous page, so this one didn't take as long to sketch, although it did take time to decide exactly which approach to use because I had a few in mind. Now I start lining.
Here are the colors for page 9 of Matchmaking Mishaps. Pacifica approves of Dipper's helping hands, and while she can't quite push to the level suggested by Mabel, she does inadvertently take an extra step of her own.
Here are the colors for page 10 of Matchmaking Mishaps. Dipper proceeds to aid Pacifica but becomes more reluctant as his hands move lower, but Pacifica insists he continue.
Here is the sketch for page 11 of Matchmaking Mishaps. Dipper finishes rubbing down Pacifica then quickly turns away to hide his reaction.
A lot of smaller panels this time around, but also a lot of hands, so it sort of balances out. I didn't add any background details here because it will be much easier to do so in the colors after the foregrounds are filled. I'll be sleeping a bit then get straight to the lines.
Here is the sketch for page 12 of Matchmaking Mishaps. Dipper is still trying to hide his body's reaction, but Pacifica insists on returning the favor.
Like with the previous page, I left backgrounds out at this stage because they're better reserved to do in the colors. I had this pretty fully sketched out last night, with just the final frame to go, but I had to go to sleep for an appointment today. I had to get someone to a specialist that's really far away, and go figure construction detoured me even further. After hours of dealing with that I was finally able to get this finished. Now I start lining. I do have one more appointment for the week tomorrow, which is closer to get to, although the same construction is still going to increase the drive substantially.
Here are the lines for page 12 of Matchmaking Mishaps. I had a long day today, but with it out of the way I should have no more substantial real world distractions this week. Now I work on some other things then get this colored for Friday.
Here are the colors for page 12 of Matchmaking Mishaps. Dipper still tries to hide his body's reaction while Pacifica insists on returning the favor.
I decided to try some different things with background effects. I've been thinking I kind of want to use this comic to mess around with that some more, and went with it more in this page. Or, at least this scene to break things up since panels will otherwise often have pretty flat backgrounds anyway due to the simple nature of much of the surrounding area.
Here is the sketch for page 13 of Matchmaking Mishaps. Mabel wants to hurry and get back to the others while Wendy takes full advantage of the situation.
Had to show something with these two before moving on to the next part of the scene. Now I line it. As usual backgrounds were not sketched here because they'll be easier to do fully in the colors once the foreground flats are done.
Here are the lines for page 13 of Matchmaking Mishaps. As stated in the sketch the backgrounds are reserved for the colors. Now I do other stuff for the week then have this colored for Friday.
