I always feel my lines have to be clean when I put them down. I think that holds me back from getting more exploration and testing in when I sketch, so seeing a professional being very loose with their drawings on the roughs is very comforting! I love this class so far! Thank you, @David Finch for all your commentary and showing your thoughts on paper; it's very useful and informational.

LESSON NOTES

David Finch gives an essential overview on how to sketch comic panels. His demo shows how he uses simple shapes and basic perspective on a small layout to plan a full comic page. At this stage of the process, the focus is on mapping out the broad story visually without getting stuck in the details. By starting with a “rough in” an artist can easily adjust any layout issues, making sure the characters and setting are proportionate and unified before moving forward with the page.
