This week I talk about thumbnails! The process I go through when, recieving a new script from a client. Taking that script, then creating thumbnails.

  1. Great episode, dude! Definitely much improved with the sound, as well. Did you just get lucky with the wind?

    One thing I'd add, especially with working completely digitally, is the ability to blow up thumbnails and pencil directly on them. There's definitely an energy in the thumbnails that's difficult to recreate, especially in the later stages of the process. I know you were only talking about the thumbnailing step in this episode, but I think it's good to keep in mind what the thumbnails will be used for.

    I think it's important to try and stay as rough as possible with the thumbnails, and that can be hard, especially if you know you'll be using them as the actual underlying structure of your pencils.

    Anyhow, thanks for the episode! I particularly liked the very last tip about combing other comics for potential camera angles.
