Poetry Week, Part 2

[deckardcanine]

I start by thinking where the plot may go
And what the present characters may say.
I jot it down, revising till I know,
And pencil in the words the chosen way.
A thicker pencil makes the speech balloons
And borders for the panels (two or three).
Then starting with their heads, I draw the toons,
Their postures chosen almost randomly.
With different artist pens, I then will trace
On tracing paper, hopefully with care.
I scan the page, and software helps erase,
Redraw and color till it’s fit to share.
It’s not a process experts are proposin’,
But for my “Downscale,” it’s the one I’ve chosen.
