I'm looking for a penciler to do a Sci-Fi webcomic. You must be good at drawing robots. Anyone interested?

I forgot I lay in the balloons and caption boxs in the thumbnails.

when I do pages I tend to read the script at least 3-5 times before I start drawing. I like to get a solid grasp of the story first. To me it makes the process smoother becasue you start to visualize everything more. I also do this to make sure that the scenes flow properly and do not lead to confusion.

After I have done this, I will take a sheet of paper and flip it sidways to make two pages and then layout everything. Action scenes I do 4 to a page because drawing smaller allows you more control for dynamic shots.

Then I scale them up in photoshop. My layout are pretty tight so I make any adjustmentss in the computer, convert them to blueline and print them out onto bristol. Ink it doing most of the detail during the process then rescan and remove the blue.
Its much faster than it sounds. I lay out about 10 pages in a day thumbnails and do a page a day otherwise.
I may post some thing on my profile showing this.

I've no time for thumbnails, and there is a part of me that hates drawing anything twice. Thumbnails always made me feel like I was drawing something twice. I read the entire script. I then start at page one, study each panel for size, REMEMBER TO ADD ROOM FOR TEXT AND WORD BUBBLES!!!!!. Layout the panels on the page then fill them in with art.

I try to whittle the page down to it's key moment(s) and just doodle those till I find teh right shot I'm looking for. When I get that, I can build the framework of teh panels around that. That often leads to some pretty unique layouts. When nothing just pops out, I do the trusty 'Inverted H' layout and do one long panel on teh top, 2 expository panels in between abd the long setup across the bottom. If anything, that would be my favorite layout. It allows me to put the drawing in a cinematic setting with closeups.
But for the most part, I try to let the page tell me how it wants to be drawn before pencil hits paper.

i like to see if any panels in the page need a specific shape to fit the action, also figure out which panels are the most important and usually, therefore, biggest. then work backward from there, making sure there is a cliffhanger/page turner in the last panel.

I like to draw thumbnails as I read the script. Once i've got it all down then I go into setting up the page in PH CS4. I've moved to working fully digital.

I like to treat the script the same way and apply movie style imaging to each panel. I believe that the best visual story telling takes place when the artist has the flexibility to massage the script. Not every writer can visualise enough to truly bring things to life.
