Script or drawing?

[arcojawa]

It's a probably a mixture. The long term timeline stuff tends to be scripted. I'll have a better understanding of how I want to draw that stuff when I get closer to it's release. Individual pages are storyboarded with pictures. I find it easy to write in the individual pages as I'm drawing them. Finally, there's a lot of major events that will occur over the course of the comic but, admittedly, that stuff is pretty strictly in my head. I don't know if it's sensible to have it up there instead of on paper but it's the way I'm used to doing it.

Scripting and thumbnails are my favorite part of the comic
Drawing can be a drag because it is so time consuming

I have a script that probably only I could decipher but It works as a guide while planning panels. The majority of it is all dialogue and some vague descriptions of scenes that I match with images in my head. By no means is it an optimal way to work but it does the trick for me. I change so much mid working on pages and thumbnails that the script is more a light outline than anything else.

Funny enough I just had a friend ask about how I write my comic. I don't really write a full script, just the important story beats and what the character development should be. Then I thumbnail everything and kinda of write the dialogue as I go.
I find drawing and layout much more natural for me then writing a structure. I'm sure my methods has lead to some inconsistencies in my comic but I think it's also allowed me a lot of freedom in changing the story/layout when I think of something better. As long as I've written down the beginning, middle, and end I feel on track.

Writing is very hard for me. I just write down ideas and important dialogues and then sketch the scenes. I almost never have a script when I am drawing the chapters.

For the longest time I've been only on the drawing side of comics, my boyfriend being the writer. With my second comic I've taken a more active role on the writing side, and I think I prefer drawing more, it's my comfort zone after all. I generally just write outlines for the strip and then my bf writes the actual script. XD

Working with someone else is definitely much more productive than working alone (as long as you keep the same pace)

I do almost all of my writing in the thumbnailing process so writing and drawing have never really been separate!

Yeah, most of my scripting is done via doodling. Words are hard.
