Okay! Since you did such a great job on that one, let’s try another!

This time let’s see you draw your own page—in the same stages as you’ve just observed—before you look at the pages that follow. Then you can compare your own handiwork with ours—and there’s always the chance that yours will be better!

Here’s the plot:

Spider-Man, out to get revenge against the Silver Surfer, finds him on a rooftop. The Surfer warns our friendly neighborhood web-head to stay back. In order to show Spidey that he means business, ol’ SS mildly zings him with a teensy cosmic bolt. Spidey, having been knocked off his feet, decides to fight back. Spider-Man quickly zips some webbing at the Surfer, catching it around his ankles. Finally, the Surfer, wrapped in Spidey’s webbing, loses his balance and topples off the rooftop.

This scenario was written so that each sentence describes a separate panel, for a total of six panels to the page.

That’s it. You’re on your own. Sketch out a page as best you can, following the scenario, and then compare it with our version. Remember now, do the stick figures first; then the spheres, cubes, and cylinders; and finally the fleshing out. You can compare each process with ours as you go. Enjoy!
