Start by drawing stick
figures in the rough poses
you will use.
Since the drawing will be
revised several times at
this stage, an eraseable
medium such as pencil or
white-board marker is
essential.

Go over your stick figure
drawing again, adding
rough details of the
characters’ uniforms and
faces etcetera - you can
then rub out the remains
of the stick figures.
Rough details of backgrounds can also be
added.

Go over the rough pencils
a second time, tightening
up details which look out
of place or which need
more work.
Once you are happy with
the pencilled version of
the drawing, rub out the
remainder of the rough
pencils to avoid
confusion later.
Spot pictures such as
these generally fade out at
the edges, so draw a
rough line where the
finished drawing will end.
Drawing Comic Panels - Inking

Now that you are happy
with the pencil drawing,
it can be made permanent
- and easier to reproduce by going over it with
black ink.
Since only solid black
and paper white were
available in ink printing,
mid-range shades such as
shadows have to be made
by hatching lines of ink.
Once the inking is
finished, you can erase
the last traces of the
pencil drawing.
Drawing Comic Panels - Shading

If there is plenty of time
available, you can use
hatching lines to colour in
the khaki shades of the
uniforms - be aware this
typically takes longer
than the whole ink
drawing stage!
