Thumbnails, Layouts, and Roughs

Thumbnails, layouts, roughs...these quick, small drawings can help artists visualize their stories. They can also help creators and collaborators plan, understand, and revise ideas and compositions. Jim and Ed look at examples from Steve Rude, Harvey Kurtzman, Frank Miller, David Mazzucchelli, and Dave Gibbons. From EC Comics to Watchmen to Playboy...layouts and roughs can be a powerful tool in a cartoonist's toolbox. They also share some of their own layouts and their thought process behind this practice.

fast sketches are an important part of many artists' process when it comes to planning a drawing or page of comics. Jim and Ed show examples of different cartoonists' layouts and share some of their own as well.
