Hi everyone!
I’m currently sitting in front of the next four exciting pages for Demon Sword #2.
Thinh and I work with fast, low-detail sketches that show movement, layout, and the relative position of everything. We even add lettering at this stage.
What I’m looking for is simple:
- Is there too much text in a panel?
- Is anything confusing?
- Is any element the wrong size?
- Do any sound effects feel wrong?
In this batch, there were two size issues, which means my script wasn’t specific enough! Easy fix – a quick comment to Thinh with an apology and the missed information.
The main question you need to answer is: Does this feel right?
If yes, don’t stress every detail.
But if something feels off, say so! That’s exactly what sketches are for.
“Hey, this object should be four meters in diameter.”
“Okay, cool”.
We adjust it now, and everything moves forward smoothly.
Good luck, and I hope your comic is coming along nicely!
