If you perused my art blog (this is the “Hitt production blog” if you don’t know where you are) then you know I’m particularly attentive to trying to make my comic page flow and “point” to were I want your eye to go. I’m almost finished with this page and I thought it would be a good opportunity to show how it’s already starting to direct the observer’s eye. We start at the “Angel’s” ponytail and go right up the male angel’s wing, which point’s to…well…I’m trying to create a very sexy and devious vibe here. Anyway, the “devil’s” wing and the lines of the bar take us to the second panel.
In the final panel, our devil, having had just successfully enticed the angel to leave the heaven and hell party, presses the down button on the elevator. A bit of symbolism here combine with the flow. I hope its working and I’ll post the finished page.
The page layouts is a technique I picked up from Cully Hamner – other guys may do it also, but I haven't seen it anywhere else. The first panel brings you in and the last panel dumps you out.
