As I create this post during my free time, I'm going to ask you all this question; do you outline, script, or rough draft your work? I've always been told if you are going to start a project, create a mock-up, script, and or rough draft. It's always best that you have a clear idea of what you are going to make rather than just make things from the top of your head. I've taken this to consideration because I want to make a good story rather than rely on pretty pictures.
I'll admit, when I was younger, I never scripted my comics as I just kept going with the flow of whatever came up in my imagination. Now that I look back into those comics, I realize how muddled some of the dialog and the story were. Most of these comics I'm referring to are Tinker & Pinker. It contained nice character models, but everything else could've been so much better. Then again, you do learn from experience and from your previous accomplishments.
Whenever I nedd to get something done, I just make whatever I can.
So, what do you all do?
