Different artists approach this in different ways. Neal Adams, for instance, showed me how to fold a standard piece of typing paper so as to produce 16 rectangles roughly the same proportions as a comicbook page, and use them for doing thumbnails. Gil Kane used to do his "thumbnails" full sized, often to then be handed off to assistants for transfer to the boards. And in between, about as many different methods as there are artists to use them. And I've tried just about all of them, at one time or another. Which is the long way of saying my personal evolution has taught me that I want to draw each page the LEAST number of times, to keep the energy at maximum. So now, and for about thirty years, everything happens on the board. Quick layouts to capture dynamics and gesture, tighten for details and facial expressions, then on to the inks (or finished pencils if it's a job I'm not inking myself).
