XD I&#8217;m almost done, just need to do a few more pages of backgrounds and cleaning up then tone it. It&#8217;s a relief to be almost done since I now want to work on other more serious comic stories I wanted to do.<\/p>\n<p>Although the story is a bit random and incomplete I&#8217;m still happy to have it almost completed. I think I&#8217;m sort of getting the hang of creating comic pages. I think I needed to find my rhythm in creating and once I got used to it; I was able to pump out more pages. \ud83d\ude00 I&#8217;m still experimenting with style and just have the story penciled but I plan on darkening the lines in Photoshop and tone on the computer. Although it&#8217;s not a serious story, I still wanted to practice it as if it were a serious story. I have improved my art I think from a long time ago. I know I still have lots to learn but I&#8217;m happy to be able to see an improvement.<\/p>\n<p><a name='more'><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I definitely learned a lot when working on this story. Here&#8217;s a list for my references and maybe would help some of you:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li><b>Plan ahead <\/b>&#8211; I outlined the story mostly and then winged the rest. For future reference, thumb-nailing pages ahead would be a better idea but for the 24HCD it was acceptable for lack of time.<\/li>\n<li><b>Layout<\/b> &#8211; I use a lot of word bubbles and don&#8217;t leave enough space. I do this a lot, maybe need to work on more showing and less telling<\/li>\n<li><b>Simplify <\/b>&#8211; I ended up using my normal style because I like it, maybe for the next story I should simplify the characters and story.<\/li>\n<li><b>Time<\/b> &#8211; I kind of had to force myself to get pages done. I had to set aside time to draw but once I started I was on a roll.<\/li>\n<li><b>Plan phases<\/b> &#8211; Some people can do one page at a time but for some reason I do better in phases. I first did pencils, then added the word bubbles, refined the pencils while editing, then backgrounds and clean up, lastly toning and finalizing. I did each phase for the 24 pages before moving on to the next phase.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I hope some of this information was practical for you. I&#8217;m the type who<br \/>\nis a bit of a perfectionist and am afraid of changing my mind during a story. Basically I want to get all the pages done and only when I&#8217;m satisfied do I move on. Unfortunately, I get nit-picky and hardly get past the planning stages on some if not most of my comic projects. Trying to get better at this but I like to think I&#8217;m improving, even if it&#8217;s a little at a time. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>How about you guys? Do you have a specific process of planning your comic or do you just go with the flow and write\/draw on the spot? How long does it usually take you to finish a comic?<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haha, I know this is way behind but this is the closest I&#8217;ve been to finishing a comic. \ud83d\ude00 I know it was supposed to be done in 24 hours but I wanted to complete it anyways even if it&#8217;s several months later.
