David Finch gives an essential overview on how to sketch comic panels. His demo shows how he uses simple shapes and basic perspective on a small layout to plan a full comic page. At this stage of the process, the focus is on mapping out the broad story visually without getting stuck in the details. By starting with a “rough in” an artist can easily adjust any layout issues, making sure the characters and setting are proportionate and unified before moving forward with the page.
