or, How to Draw Comics the JKC Way.

1. The Rough. Very loosely blocking out the figures, seeing how everything will fit on the page.
Steel - rough

2. Reference. I could've just made the camp up out of my head, but a Google image search turned up some interesting examples of log buildings from various cultures.
Steel - reference

3. The Pencils. If someone else was going to ink this, I'd make it tighter, but this is good enough for my own purposes.
Steel - pencils

4. The Inks. Tightening up the details and spotting the blacks. Note that at this point, I put the reference aside and don't look at it again, so the end result is more my impression, rather than just a carbon copy of the photo.
Steel - inks

5. The Final. Lettering and colors added. The lettering actually gets done a little earlier, during the Rough and/or Pencil stage, just to make sure it all fits. If it doesn't, it's easy enough to move things around to make room.
steel - final
