Preproduction:
The first step in creating a comic of your own is developing the idea of the story. Start by making a bulleted list of things that will happen in your story. That’s the plot! Then create preproduction sketches based on the things that will happen. How many characters do you have? Where are they? What do they look like?
Thumbnails:
Once you know what happens in your story and what it will look like it’s time to plan it out. How will you tell the story over 4 pages? You need to make sure it all fits! Create small drawing that layout your story as it will be on the page. These are called thumbnail sketches because they can be that small. You don’t want to makes these too big or beautiful, just make a plan.
