One of the things that I did last night was my layouts for my “Penciling the Page” class (which used to be called “Layout for Comics”). The class is primarily about how to assemble a script into a visually interesting comic page. We’d just finished a class about different panel “tricks” that can make your page interesting.
Our homework assignment, then, was to create a page that used 7 of those tricks. As for story, the requirement was that this be a 2-page story, as follows:
- Page 1: a pair of characters are trapped inside somewhere.
- Page 2: using a prop discovered in the environment, they escape.
Here are my thumbnails.
