How's this stuff drawn?
It actually begins with a really sloppy pencil sketch on cheap notebook paper. Note that the plot is sometimes modified between the rough draft and the finished product. I typically sketch 2-5 pages ahead of the actual page being finished.
Bottom to top, from left to right...
1. Blank paper. Outline is half gridded.
2. Step 1- sketch out wireframe of foreground objects.
3. Take pencil and make outline sketch of foreground.
4. Go over pencil in ink pen.
5. Add dialogue and sketch in background.
6. Outline background. Erase all pencil draft lines.
7. Shade in with No. 2 extra dark pencil.
8. Mirror image, replace Chinese text with English (not shown)
