The thing about me is that I NEED to write outlines as well. Without an outline, even a basic page-by-page outline, I feel like a chicken with its head cut off. Running around and spurting blood all over the goddamn carpet.
I always do the same thing for new story ideas. a big peice of paper taped to a wall then use a roll of white stickers to put my time line in place for each character.
Awesome video, it's really great seeing how comics are written from another perspective. I tend to come with a story, then spend weeks writing down little details that pop into my mind. I've started using Milanote recently, and while I prefer writing my notes by hand, I've found the software helps me organize images, web links, digital notes, etc, in a very convenient way by project. So using Milanote has been the biggest change in my style over the past year... but I still keep notebooks and pens next to my bedside!
Hey a quick suggestion, I wanted to say that the background music is like very loud and in the process I can't here your voice or any person who is talking, I mean it's just not clear, thought I didn't watch all of your videos, Im actually serious about comics and I'm starting with your video like especially for the storyline, Idk how to write a storyline for comics, though I wrote many storys in the past, I wanted a clear information about how to start a comics, and thanks to your vids I am starting my own comic.
First thanks for the videos, very educational. I'm basically starting out, but doing my fourth script, artists on my first. One I'm working into a graphic novel, but the others are 32 pages in a series. I start with brainstorming the over all issue. Then I type up script pages a ? Panel...after that I work on beginning and end. Finally I go in and brainstorming my events and how many pages it's gonna be. Ex page 1 3 panels (set scene and recap last issue at jail)...page 30-32 ?panels (final resolve with action..at barn house) I don't know if it's the right way, but seems to work for me
Thanks for the kind words!! Glad you dig the channel. At the end of the day, whatever works for you is the way to go! I said it somewhere, but you should take what makes sense from the different methods you learn, ditch the rest, and slowly build your own process that works for you!
