Brandon Graham's Blog, page 75

Just wondering what your writing process is like? Do you do a lot of actual writing before you start drawing or is it all wrapped up in making storyboards?

the text and pictures get pretty mixed together. I like to have a frame work and then I do a couple rough layout/dialog passes on each page or scene as I go.

Often I’ll do rough panel layouts for a scene and then go back and try to condense them into pages–I feel like I show a lot of actions that I then later throw out or condense into less panels in the final pages .

Here’s a page from my sketchbook showing notes on a story I’m working on now.
