I was thinking about writing down the way I work on my comic book because the process may be useful for my own reference later on and perhaps other artists can find my methods useful.
I used to fold a 8.5x11 page in half twice to divide it into 4 even rectangles and begin drawing my layout thumbnails into them. Ever since I studied film and animation, storyboards, painting, online visual references, and draw in Photoshop, I don't approach the comic book page the same way i did 12 years ago.
Instead, what I did was draw out each key frame or "moments" that I thought was necessary to tell the story. This page shows 153 of the original moments that I sketched. These serve as a starting point so they are quite primitive. If you look at my current layouts, you will see that some changes were made to improve storytelling.
