Meredith, I'm a huge fan of yours and very excited to see what's next in Hinges! I was wondering how you set up the pages/panels for your comics. Do you use a pre-made template with borders or do you make it up as you go, with each new project? I'm just no

Hello and thank you!

I vary from project to project but for HINGES pages I pencil and ink on 11x17 inch paper.  (Though the live area is 10x15).  I add a little bit of a bleed (extending the illustration past the 10x15 inches) and then digitally lay in the official white border on top of that.  It satisfies my need to have borders without black lines and also everything is lined up straight.  (I am particular.) 

As far as panel sizes go though, I just wing it.

I recommend finding what’s comfortable.  Most comic pages conform to a 2:3 ratio, but if it’s going up digitally just do whatever causes the least stress.  It’s all good.

^_^
