Kayo Kid: Well, learning to do appealing thumbnails is really important, and I think you're making progress in that regard. I'd suggest thinking more in terms of abstract shapes and angles and tangents if you wan t to do more complicated ones.
smr: Speaking of thumbnails, do you do something like that beforehand to feel out the gestures and weight, or do you just jump straight into your final drawings?
Man, this is the first comic I've drawn in a long time. I did some reading up on paneling, but I'm not sure how to convey ideas and evoke reactions reliably and I think the decisions I made for this are pretty suboptimal.
Anyway, I did take the time to block in some basic shadows, which already makes it read a lot better.
