Try and have fun with it at this point.
Ought to be able to ink this in one day.
Done all the boring part. Panels , grids, reference search.
Including 'unsnapping bra'-
Got a hit that was so perfect I just dropped it into the layout.

Moon?
I like the character in your warm-up doodle so much I want to write and draw a story around it!
Thanks Tom. I'll post the untouchhed doodle as well. Probably reads better
But what is "Moon"?
That was a van doodle. I started with one slouching character- did a big moon, added more slouching characters. I guess they are were-zombies.
I think you should adopt the pen name "Avis van Doodle".
I like that. I could be Budget van Doodle as well. Avis sounds more like Ellis
I know you've gone into great detail on this, but typically, I was not paying attention. Is there some Photoshop doohicky that you are using to make perspective grids on your layouts? Is this a thing comic(s) artists do nowadays?
webpage-I'll add some detail
I'm using version 2 on that page. I didn't like the ease of use on the top tool. I'm using this in CS2 mind you. So it's very vintage software friendly.
When you place your star- use the pencil setting to stroke it. 1 pixel is plenty. That uses whatever the present pencil setting is so set that to one pixel before you stroke . Rt click on the path under paths. Select stroke.
To drag that grid in precise ways- use direct selection tool. The white vs the solid arrow. Click the end of the star/line on the node and drag the line to as dense a configuration as you like.
You don't need my help Ben. You need a Nun with a ruler. Pay attention.
By the way, I had to redo the grid on the 4th panel. You can look and see that I placed the vanishing point to the wrong side. Things would be getting larger in the distance. The grid was dense enough and subtle enough that i didn't notice.
As far as lots of comic book artists using it Ben, if you have Manga studio, it has a much better tool. I like staying in photoshop. I know it.
And I use this just to make sure I'm placing stuff pretty dang close to right. I still do a lot of it freehand. I think most experienced artists ar comfortable with freehanding their grids.
John Byrne liked a nice , tight grid. Always worked on top of one.
Ben. I thought I shared that floobey noobey site here. I probably shared that with the Oklahoma comic creator FB group. And not here. So you didn't miss anything. I've just been talking about something where I'm just now posting the link.
Thanks. I have used the vanishing point tool once or twice at work, but didn't connect it to making grids on the page.
I really should only use cartoon-like, make your own grid perspective and stick to it as a style. I need to give myself a big permission slip to do just that. But i haven't yet.
