A Question About Process✨
Added 2020-09-15 20:37:15 +0000 UTCI received this message from a lovely patron, so I decided to anonymously share it because I think it would be helpful for others who were also curious?
I do a mixture of:
1) A general A to Z of story points with dialogue ideas:
2) More refined scripting for important scenes:
3) Storyboarding:
(I usually rough out the panels digitally too, before I work on the inks)
As you can see from the script, I make changes along the way and not everything I write down necessarily makes it onto the page.
I'm not really a stickler for by-the-books processes, but I always have a general, basic outline of the story and do rough storyboards on paper.
I tend to workshop really important scenes with more drawings and specific dialogue treatment.. but if it's just a panel of someone walking down a hallway to show them getting from one place to the next- I feel confident about being able to do those with minimal direction.
I hope that helps! I think whatever works for you is always best.😘💕 I haven't had any formal comic training, so I just sorta wing it, most of the time?😂 Follow your heart~~!
Thank you so much for the kind question!😍💕💕

2020-09-16 00:57:08 +0000 UTCI've been battling writing a comic script myself so I really appreciate seeing how your process goes ; u ; It's been hard to find a good system that seemed to work with my own process for writing
