When I create comics, first I begin with getting a story idea or inspiration or a hook. I begin to write out a summary of what I want to happen in the story, plot points, story beats, and then the personality of the characters and how they’d interact in that situation. Then I flesh it out, edit it, and write it in a way that makes sense to me so I understand what needs to go on each page for when I begin the storyboard. When I do get to it, at this point in my career I understand paneling very well and how to grasp a readers attention and where things should go or how big a panel should be. Some things written out may not actually look good when paneled out, so some minor edits will take place. Then once most of the comic or chapter is sketched out, I begin lining and coloring one page at a time. If I do lines all at once, I get carpal tunnel. Once I start catching up to what I’ve got sketched, then I begin the sketching process again. If it’s a shorter 30 page comic, I definitely will sketch everything beforehand, but if it’s something way longer like Chemistry Class, I’ll sketch about 20 pages at a time and catch up.
