Thanks Vince, I don’t normally scan the pencil of the comic, since I use real ink but this pencil was appealing and I thought if I mess up the ink at least I have the scan to prove that the original drawing was good 😉 Then I came up with the idea to animate all 3 stages.
‘Blocking’ just means blocking out how the action gets laid out on the page. In this case I was trying to work out the way Peckinpaw tripped and fell by making the gesture and movement read well in the limited amount of space of the 13″ x 4″ strip. Some artists call this the storyboarding stage. It’s real important to do this before you start drawing the real strip or else you will be erasing and restarting a lot. I always try to avoid a lot of erasing because it can introduce smudges that are hard to get rid of. It can also mess up the surface of the paper making it harder to ink.
