to visit me and mike in artist alley please please buy our cimics please posted by blair kitchen at 4 19 pm 5 comments monday august 28 2006 page 58 thumbnails to final here is another page broken down from thumbnails to the final page this one has dialogue so as you can see planning it was a bit more messy again the pencils were done on the train into work i made up a new panel that wasn t thumbnailed as i was pencilling to fill some space the middle right panel i find it hard to plan everything out in the thumbnail stage it is more of a jumping off point for me just getting something down to have a visual start once i start pencilling in the actual page i get a much better feel for what i can and can t fit into a page i can feel if the panels are flowing or reading much better inked and ready for tones the final page as it appears in the comic tones done in photoshop posted by blair kitchen at 10 23 am 5 comments thursday august 24 2006 page 57 thumbnails to final howdy i thought i d do a post on the evolution of a page from my comic book this is generally the process i go through for each page although there are no rules it is just the way that i find works best on the next comic i may find a better way but for now this is how it goes 1 i keep two sketchbooks going at a time in one i jot down any random ideas that i may have for various storys whether it is for the possum or for something entirely different the other i use for thumbnails dialogue etc for whatever comic i am working on at the time i like the sketchbooks because it keeps all of my thoughts contained and organized i do alot of this stuff on the train into work so loose pages just get lost or scattered between work and home this page has no dialogue so it was easier to plan out if the page has dialogue i usually write it all out first then decide where i can break it up for each panel then i do quick thumbnails i usually base the page around a dominant image that i have in my head then work the rest of the panels around that 2 i do the rough pencils straight onto peterboro illustration board no 27 i like the board because i can keep them in my backpack to work on the train and they can take a lot more abuse than paper they also take the ink very well i don t have to worry about them getting wrinkled and they are stiff enough to just pull out and start drawing i don t need to carry around something hard to draw on i got into a good rhythm of doing the thumbnails and penciling on the train to and from work when you have kids and a full time job you have to use every spare minute of the day to get things done 50 minutes to work and 50 minutes home with no distractions is priceless i keep the pencils pretty loose my main goal is to get all of the thinking done at this stage but because i am inking as well i don t have to worry about someone not understanding what i put down 3 next i ink right over top of the pencils and erase them after the inking is done before inking i photocopy the pencils just in case i really mess up because i m not trying to get an overly slick clean look it gives me a lot more room to be looser in the pencilling stage the inking is harder to find time to get it completed because i can t do it on the train i need a bit more room and the train is too bumpy i inked this comic with a rotring art pen with refillable ink cartriges i chose these pens because you can take them anywhere and you don t have to dip them they also have a round nib so they handle circles and curves much easier than the hunt nibs that i tried i also do all of the dialogue by hand when it s done well which i am still working on i think it has a lot more personality than the computer fonts 4 lastly i scan the inked page into photoshop and do the grey tones and dots on the computer it s quite a lot of work to get 1 page of comic finished but i really do enjoy it i don t know how many times i cursed myself for making my first comic 72 pages though anyways there you have it i hope you get a chance to read the possum and enjoy it i dropped some comics off at the silver snail in toronto so they should have some to buy or you can get them from me on my website or maybe i ll see you at the comic expo sep 1 3 posted by blair kitchen at 10 06 am 7 comments monday august 21 2006 www possumpress com is now operational hey everyone you can now order
