![]() ![]() Please note, that this is not the final document! I can adjust the lettering once I have the finished art. Then I’ll put the lettering in where it needs to go. I’ll start by creating a standard border for the entire project and just plunk that in between all the frames. If it’s an issue of a comic, I’ll make seperate 22-page files that stick to the same template. No need for bigger format when I’m not doing details – in fact the smaller format often helps in creating a clear layout.Īfter scanning my rough sketches, I put them in an InDesign document. I usually sketch on half pages, not full size. As you’ll notice, this is bare bones storytelling, just enough for others to make out what is going on. Once I know sort of what the layout of the page will look like, I can start rough sketching pictures. There is a podcast episode about making those hard choices here. The more I plan before I start drawing, the more smoothly the rest of the process. I don’t neccesarily do it for every page but it can be very helpful. This is little scribbles just to get a grip of the page breakdowns. Sometimes I’ll get a script from another writer but I often work off my own or have to break the story down into pages. The first 2 videos of the premium series covers this (and those episodes are free). Having a finished script before you start drawing increases your chance of actually finishing with about 3000 percent. I go into detail with certain elements in my premium 10-video tutorial series, but these are the basic steps I go through every time. I recently posted this picture on Instagram and Facebook that got a lot of likes – and a lot of questions! So I thought I’d elaborate a bit on how I actually tackle the creation of a comic or graphic novel. This is my next graphic novel project! Filling in the blanks should be no biggie, right? Well, there’s a little more to it than that. ![]()
