To put my comic idea into action I started by planning out the pages very roughly in my sketchbook and then drawing a fuller version my A4 sketchbook. This let me figure out how I could make the pictures flow into each other and make sure the page works as a single image. Also I really enjoy drawing with pen and didn't want to leave that behind completely. After drawing a page in A4 I'd then copy the layout to A3 and draw it with ink and a brush. Usually this would be an almost exact copy from the A4 version just with some minor tweaks to make the image flow more or to overcome something that can't really be done using ink which I had put in the original piece.
For a lot of the pages I had trouble not using panels, so I did use them but made them sort of part of the background. This is mainly for the scenes in the park where most of the scenes were naturally framed by trees already. I went with this and framed the pages and panels with branches of trees which helped the page link together and become one image.

Looking at my pen and ink A4 versions and my A3 ink versions I think the A3 versions are stronger as they obviously develop from the A4 version and there are the advantages in drawing with ink that I talked about in an earlier post. I can however get a wider range of textures with pen so I may work into my ink pieces with pen to get a bit of range of texture.
