Since the colors and shading were done by my partner, Jade, I'm going to talk more about other aspects of my process in more detail.
1. I start with a rough thumbnail to plan out the page. The first two panels are the same as the last panel from the previous page because I wanted to hold that tension, stretch it out, to really show how much the date is fuming before she snaps in that third panel.
2. Now I go in and work out the final poses and proportions. The third panel an...

Since the colors and shading were done by my partner, Jade, I'm going to talk more about other aspects of my process in more detail.
1. I start with a rough thumbnail to plan out the page. I already knew what I wanted to do with the last two panels here because I want our dolly to piss off his date, giving her motive for what happens on the next page. For the top of the page, my first thought was another wide angle, showing the date spinning our dolly around like a top but my sket...

Some people can be a little rough with their dollies. Is that bad?

Since the colors and shading were done by my partner, Jade, I'm going to talk more about other aspects of my process in more detail.
1. I start with a rough thumbnail to plan out the page. In the first panel, I'm trying to keep it more dynamic by putting the characters at varied distances. Just two panels again here because I wanted a full body shot to show just how helpless he is in that impossibly tight slip and petticoats.
2. Now I go in and work out the final poses and p...

When you get a pretty new dolly, you have to play with her right away!

Since the colors and shading were done by my partner, Jade, I'm going to talk more about other aspects of my process in more detail.
1. I start with a rough thumbnail to plan out the page. There's only room for two panels here because I wanted one large panel to really showcase the completed look.
2. Now I go in and work out the final poses and proportions. I spent a lot of time getting the perspective right on the dress, planning the curve of the shape, and the angle of the...

Since the colors and shading were done by my partner, Jade, I'm going to talk more about other aspects of my process in more detail.
1. I start with a rough thumbnail to plan out the page. This is a simple page with a two-step process for the shoes and then a quick push out of the door. These events go well together because I can continue the raised-by-the-hands from putting on the shoes as a method for delivering the character back out into the public eye.
2. Now I go in an...

1. I start with a thumbnail to get the basic concept down.
2. Next, a more formal sketch to work out the layout, pose, and proportions. I used a 3-point perspective ruler on this one to rough in the layout.
3. Final sketch. I sketch the characters in full detail. I adjusted my perspective here, focusing first on making sure the box lined up just right with the character, then using the same perspective ruler for the table top. However, I wanted the room and fireplace to be at a sl...

Don't forget to leave out treats for Santa to keep him going strong on his long, hard trip around the world.

Since the colors and shading were done by my partner, Jade, I'm going to talk more about other aspects of my process in more detail.
1. I start with a rough thumbnail to plan out the page. Now things are really speeding up and getting crazy with lots of big things happening very quickly so the panels are even more angular. I'm doing lots of close-ups here because I want to keep the reader in suspense over how the complete outfit looks. Suspense is important in a multi-page comic t...

1. I start with a rough thumbnail to plan out the page. This part of the story is speeding up because there's a lot to squeeze in and I want to make it feel like it's all happening very fast. The shape of the panels are also getting more chaotic with weird angles and overlaps. Even the camera angles are getting extra dramatic.
2. Now I go in and work...

Since the colors and shading were done by my partner, Jade, I'm going to talk more about other aspects of my process in more detail.
1. I start with a rough thumbnail to plan out the page. The layout here is very straightforward, a quadrant of four panels followed by one large one. Keeping the first four panels close in size and shape, as well as keeping close to the same pose, gives them a sense of consistent sequence and timing, like a short animation. It also helps make it feels as i...
