I need to learn about drawing comics, so what better way to do it than start drawing one?
This practice set started with me doing some quick plotwork, then some backstory, and finally layout for all the pages. With that out of the way, I got started with the actual pencil work, then inking.
This is the first phase of practice- "get something done". It doesn't matter if it's all that good, I just need to get something done to get started. Later on, I will start focusing on improvements, but improvements cannot come if I don't get stuff done.
So, about this comic? Well, it takes place on a changed Earth, where most land is uninhabitable because it shifts between "realities", which means that if you step onto it, there's a good chance you will end up some other place and some other when, with most of those being barren and deserted.
The other areas are stable, and connected by narrow stable strips, which are used for commerce.
This may be just a dream or a fantasy that Mindy is having, of course, which would explain why she and the others are in this world and not where I initially placed all of them. Then again, it's not like I've done a whole lot of comic work for my backstory and planning.
Here's the progress so far:
