AftertouchQuestion for peeps making webcomics on here: what's your favored method of doing scripts? I'm fairly partial to the thumbnail page and text alongside it, but am curious to hear what you all like to do.
tatterberry@Aftertouch That's the method I use - I've tried doing text only but I find it too difficult. I end up visualising how I want the page to be laid out anyway, so it makes sense to just draw it. In the earlier stages I do sometimes just have conversations and whatnot written out like a film script, but it's always just as a reminder to be fitted into the thumbnail/text style later.
@tatterberry ah, makes sense! Yeah I'm much more visual too, it helps a lot to draw out the expressions as I'm figuring out dialogue.
Moomie@Aftertouch Still very much in the process of figuring out what works best for me but my current method is to do A LOT of story outlines (with spreadsheets, I love a good spreadsheet) and then, based on that, work on batches of pages all they way from thumbs to finished. So I guess I'm kind of skipping a script stage altogether.
@weaselbusiness that sounds pretty fun! I'm still very new to the whole writing side of comics but I can def see how it helps to have that level of organization.
Zellk / Zellkabellk@Aftertouch i dont make a lot of comics but when i do i tend to do a first pass full text (bulletpoints n stuff) and then draw a rough storyboard with speechbubbles (with the text inside) and important notes about the panel in the space around characters / important objects, within the panel o: !
@zellk ah that sounds very doable!
