This is the first 36 pages of Tamino all put together in thumbnails. It's the first time I've ever even thought about a color key or any such thing. In this case, about 6 pages in, I realized I wanted to tell the story in 4s. The layout and this beat are meant to feel very steady over the length of the comic, so that when I do play with them, a jarring sense is more acute to the reader, or so I hope. Looking at the comic this way also helps me see where to tweak things, and I also now realize that looking at a set of 4 at a time before publishing helps smooth things out.
