DESIGN MEMORABLE CHARACTERS One of the most unnecessary mistakes in comic drawing is to lose your reader’s interest because they can’t tell your characters apart. Each character should have significant differences in hair, eyes, height and clothing (unless storyline dictates otherwise). Consider how colours, hairstyles and accessories can be used to appropriately represent certain personality traits. Also, adding background, props or narrative creates a stronger context for your character.DIFFERENTIATION (ISN’T JUST A HORRIBLE THING IN MATHS) A more advanced technique of varying your characters is to draw different eye shapes and facial outlines for each one. This requires some practice but if done correctly and consistently, it becomes a subtle yet very effective way of differentiating characters. Thumbnails provide a vital overview of your page and enable fast editing of various elements (panel shape, speech bubbles etc). Not only is this much more efficient than making large scale
corrections, it also ensures that your final comic sheet is subject to far less erasing and redrawing which could
affect the final image quality. Your thumbnails can be as rough or as detailed as you feel is appropriate. But they must show the panel arrangement, speech bubble location and character shots.
