Bored with a record shop. 
You make it LOOK easy! 😉
..and I left out the bit at the beginning that involved consuming cider and smo…um…crap…I’ve said too much…
Thanks for detailing it like that. I always like to see how other people work.
Plus it’s good to see how much work goes into the finished product.
The entire sequence penciled, inked and colored is also time consuming.
…cheers Pamo…I’ve been toying with doing a page…scan after scan, pencil, ink, colour, colour, colour…just need the right page…(love to see yours and everyone else’s sketchbooks sometime…)….
Yea- I’d love to see everyone’s too. I will do something similar soon.
Thanks for the ongoing push.
…thank YOU for the ongoing cartoons…(cheers Pamo)…
Very interesting ! Before I make a story I only write down some of the words. Then I just start sketching and make my final ink drawing on top of the pencil sketch. I try to do all the planning in my head, lucky enough it’s a big head. And usually it all ends well, at the end of the last page.
In the old days I used to make several separate pencil an ink drawings, but now I cut as many corners as I can. So… I don’t even have a sketchbook…;o)
…eep!!!…no sketch book??….ack!….
Not from the last 10 years. The older ones are stacked under the bed and in the wardrobe. I had to stop using them, or move house…!
…Lol…I gave all my old ones to a local books/art/writings/ephemera archive attached to the local University…they can’t refuse a donation and I can go visit them if I want!…mmmm….enviromentally controlled storage….
That’s a very good idea ! But I’m afraid the local museum won’t be interested. But maybe that’s just my fear of rejection. Yes, the psyche of a Stripman can be complicated…;o)
Great to see, similar to me~I write out a lot of the story first with a few sketches that I can’t make out 5 minutes later~ but I usually stop at the next stage…ha.
…yeah…the incomprehensible bits that you can never decipher till AFTER you’ve finished….(oh …the next stage is finishing…tsk…come on, you know you can do it)…
Ah the next stage…Ive just ‘finished’ my 5th of the week…two in one day, stuck for time so it could be finished off even better…but to keep to the challenge I’ll ‘throw it up’ tomorrow anyway. Bleuch…ah…keep up the good work!
…you too, MP…we’re always better than WE think!….
ah, cool to see the process.
…cheers Frag’…yes, process…like making cheese…
Cool! I never do this much prep!
…I’m betinnig to feel over prepared!!…surely I’m not the only one who is this obsessive…(oh…)….
In the end it doesn’t matter, Tony. It’s the result that counts, not how you get there…;o)
…true..and sketch book pages are really only filler when you haven’t got anything else prepared!….
From what I see, the majority of us who create comics are extremely obsessive. You just document it well. 😉
…concise documentation is important….it exists so there’s less scratching of heads when they finally dig me out of the mess I’ve died in….
Okay then… here’s my process right now anyway. http://pamoart.com/how-i-make-my-comics/
…I’m scared to look…how much chocolate does it involve?….
Unfortunately for me, I’ve had to cut back on chocolate. I’ve put on a few pounds in the past couple of months so now I’m paying the price. Very little chocolate.
Maybe I should do another process post in another month when I can resume chocolate. Might be significantly different. Sigh….
