Ahah, my first sketches are garbage. Usually also literally drawn on garbage. This one I was at a starbucks so I doodled the idea on a bag B');; marking down panel length, general dialogue, and vague emotion is most important to me right away to me [image] and here's the finished comic! [image]

I usually have all dialogue written beforehand, and my pages usually get laid out in individual sketches all over my sketchbook, but sometimes a page hits the sketchbook fully formed like this Before [image] After [image]

i only thumbnail when i get bored at work, so typically it's something like this [image][image] BUT since i have some recent thumbnails here's what i'm using right now [image][image] (you can find my comic here !)

Here's an episode from my comic ForNever After: Thumbnail Sketches: I usually do a ton of these all at once in a flurry of ink and caffeine. [image] Digital Sketch: I like working big and then shrinking the final product to fit constraints, so the actual version of this I use is much larger. […

This is how I start most of my stuff. Just really quick investigatory lines to find form and pose and go from there. [image] Then more scratches to get a tighter sketch down. Then I go in and make a definite sketch and then move into coloring! [image] And this is how things turn out on a goo…

Ahhh this is such a cool topic!! I love seeing people's roughs and process. And I agree it can make everyone feel better that art doesn't just magically happen complete x-x! Sometimes a blank page can be so intimidating... Here's the roughs for a page from the comic I draw for, with the final art.…

On comic pages I tend to draw the line art after the first sketch, for speed purposes, the art quality doesn't come out as well as my bigger projects. [image][image] I tend to make more minor adjustments in bigger projects, but not much. I really make most my touch ups in the line work. I find it …

Here's a comparison. Our first sketch looks like a mess 'cause we also discuss dialogue as we draw (and everyone knows it's easier to think while you sketch random little butts) [image]

First sketch always looks completely lifeless. I do a second sketch and then a "shadows" sketch before lining (From June) [image]

[image] For my comic Peppermint Junction, I start with a really rough sketch, mostly to work out the composition and framing. It's also really important to plan where your speech bubbles are going to go as a lot of the time people don't account for this and end up cutting off part of their image. I…

My scetch -> [image] (Its sh*t, lol) Finished one -> [image][image] (Its still sh*t, but well, lol) I first draw the sketch like, 3 years ago? I made a date on the paper, but I'm just too lazy to look it up, though. Not to mention the finished product is actually made less than a week a…

I tried to find the worst of my recent first sketches I don't know how I manage to interpret them if there's any time between when I make the first sketch and when I start refining it [image] [image]

Sep 27, '17

I'm weird. I draw and write at the same time, then I go back over and detail the sketches... THEN I ink and color. So everything happens in waves on the same page. Best example. [image]

Sketch: [image] (tbh this one’s a little more detailed than i usually do but it’s all i could find atm.!) Finished: [image]

Sep 27, '17

My very first sketch is always a thumbnail, so I can see how the page flows and works with the other pages. It also helps me make sure the paneling doesn't get too repetitive. [image] After that I sketch a full page version of the page, though the quality of the sketches differs from time to time.…

Sep 27, '17

They're really bad. Layout [image] Finished [image] Though my editor enjoys having to go through the 'stick figure' version of the comic to check my spelling. This page was still one he's faves in the 'stick figure' form [image][image]

Sep 27, '17

My very first sketches are terrible. LOL [image][image] (the hands only look good in the initial sketch because I used a photo ref of myself for that xD)

We just did our first fight scene! Looking for feedback

Off Topic

If you ever get a chance to read the "How to Draw the Marvel Way" I would highly recommend getting a copy. The advice there for action poses are incredible, but here's the cliff-notes. An action has a begining middle and end. Never draw in the middle. Always draw the wind up or the fully extended …
