This page was actually a bit tighter than I usually go. My approach is : small thumbnails...blow up and print out on board in non-repro blue...clean up on top of that...then ink. Often I go looser than his, it just depends on the project how tight I make the pencils. NO matter what I try to carefully work out the design and placements and volumes of everything beforehand, but try to leave the exact nuances of thick and thin for the inking stage. That way i don't feel compelled to "copy" the pencil line exactly in the ink but can make changes. You have to learn to be comfortable drawing lines with ink, ie drawing in the ink, not just tracing pencil lines. A small distinction that can make a big difference to the result. I'll see if I can find the thumbnail stage to post.
Hey, I have that issue of Tom Strong! HAHA...
Cool to see and hear your process, I also like using the "print to board" technique, I usually print in red instead of blue, dont know why, I just do...
From what I've heard many comic artists now use the technique of printing in nnon-repro blue on the art board, saves a lot of time.
