Asked for help
Hello, good day. As I mentioned in a previous lesson, I did the three exercises without following the guidelines below because I thought they were specific to the first lesson. Even so, I was prudent enough to scan them before inking them. I'm really sorry I didn't follow the lessons systematically; nevertheless, I followed them very carefully and think I've learned a lot. I'll be encouraged to make more short practice scripts, following David's lessons step by step, and I'll surely upload some here later. Well, this is the full-size layouts I have with final pencils. I'm including an alternative version of the 5-panel proposal in which I experiment with a less traditional reading order. It's also the only script I made that wasn't inked, so I'll upload the process in the following lessons. The hero, this time, is based on an old and well-known meme, which is perhaps not so easy to recognize these days

Hello! A version of the 5-panel proposal, I've used some of the text from the first panel in the second. The choice of paper for these layouts wasn't the best decision I made.

I did the exercises suggested in the first lesson on panel composition and finished them completely. I didn't know there was a subsequent lesson on planning with those same scripts. So I've done the sketches my way, without following the "Assignment - Reduced Size Layout" lesson.
I did them in a small notebook because I was away from home with my mother who was hospitalized.
But after the "reduced size layout" lesson, I realized that planning them in detail is the best way to do them much better, considering the order, cleanliness, efficiency, and time saved.
Explanation of the attached images:
In the sketch of the robbery scene, I didn't bother framing it; I had a separate outline of how the panels would go and just focused on the idea. I also followed David's suggestion. Later, I made two more sketched proposals with pencil and marker. In the last one, which I didn't get to complete in a big way, I deliberately broke the rules of panel composition to see if something could be done with that composition. As I said, I never got around to it.
In the laboratory scene with the mad scientist, I decided on a fish-eye overhead view. Proko's poster subtly includes Skelly.
In the three-panel parking lot scene, I was clear that the last panel should be like an explosion after a tense calm. The first two are a close-up of the character, and my intention was to convey a sense of being cornered. Given the three-panel limitation, the shooting and hiding actions had to be in the same panel.
In the final versions, there were significant changes.
I'm learning a lot from this course.
