It’s time to get experimentin’!  And maybe even learn a thing or two about sequential storytelling.

Homework for Artists and Writers:
No script or forethought!  Write and draw a one page comic from the end to the beginning.  Decide on a number of panels (or don’t.)  Start at the bottom right-hand side of your page and work backwards towards the beginning.

Extra Credit:
Now do another one page comic without a script, starting at the beginning and working towards the end.  Try to keep the story to the same scale of the backwards comic.  In which situation do you find it harder to tell the entirety of the story?  Do you find yourself running out of time to say everything you need to? Or stretching your story to find more to say?  Do you find it easier to space your storytelling from beginning-to-end after drawing a comic from end-to-beginning?
