Omgsuper sorry to clog your inbox, but how do you go about making your comics? I realize this is a broad question but do you write out the script like 'upshot, hiro look left' or something along those lines?or just dive in?no hurry to answer, thx! :3
No problem, this is actually a really interesting question that I’ve never answered before!
For me, it really depends on the type of comic, the length, my purpose in drawing it, and how clear the sequence is in my head. Most of my BH6 comics are just really short strips, just a few panels, and there’s a clear image or punchline or progression that I want. I can picture those in my head pretty clearly, so I just sketch them out. I also try to save as much time as possible by copy-paste and slightly edit frames where the whole thing doesn’t have to change.
For the comic I’m working on now, it’s a bit too long to do that, and is a bit more complicated because there are multiple points I need to include, and it jumps perspective several times, and different characters have access to different amounts of information. For this, I’ve drawn proper “names,” or rough version of the comics that are just super ugly quickly scrawled sketches with barely legible text in frames. I don’t bother to draw these cleanly, because I move them around A LOT before I actually draw them ^ ^
Hope those really vague answers somewhat answered your question? ^ ^;
