Here are the rough pages for the Ogopogo story.


After I finish a script the first thing I do is make rough pages. They are exactly what they sound like - rough, thumbnail versions of the final comic in it's entirety. I use them purely for planning everything out - what the panels look like, how they're arranged, what's in them, where word balloons go, everything. I also use them to decide what size word balloons need to be and what dialogue goes in them. They are SUPER simple, I use only quick gesture drawings, sometimes just stick figures, and do everything in pencil on cheap paper.

Once I finish with those I go back and edit them. Sometimes I redraw, erase and add in stuff. I add in little notes about panels for details I need to remember, but don't need to add into the thumbnail. Everything goes on the thumbnail before it goes on the final page. The scans I'm showing you now aren't even final, they still need to be edited again based on the production art.

Sorry about the images not being in order. I've been having some image problems with blogger, which apparently a lot of other people have been having too, and I had to switch to the old editor, which I'm still figuring out.

Thanks!
