Your assignment is to create a full-size comic page from your reduced size layout. Here are the steps to follow:
Transfer the Layout: Use a light box or a computer monitor to trace your reduced size layout onto a full-size panel. Focus on loose placement rather than precise details.
Tighten Up the Page: Start by establishing panel borders and laying in proper perspective for each panel, especially for larger scenes. Then, lightly sketch each element in the panels before tightening them up.
Focus on Construction: Ensure you use proper construction techniques for faces, figures, and environmental elements. At this stage, avoid getting too detailed; just aim for the cleanest, simplest version of your full-size page.
Add Final Details: Once the whole page is re-established as a tightline drawing, proceed to add line weight, shadows, and rendering. Work systematically through the page to address and fix any issues at each stage.
Digital Work: If you prefer, you can work digitally.
Be sure to post images of your final reduced size layout along with your final pencils.
