To start things off, I drew the main cast of my comic. Up until this point, I’ve only had a basic idea of what each of them are like, as well as some very messy Pinterest moodboards. This proved to be trickier than I thought! I wanted each of them to showcase their personality, have a unique style and all appear like they exist in the same universe. The trickiest character to settle on was Izzy, the main protagonist, because I knew that he had to be likeable, relatable, and I needed to love his design because I’d potentially be drawing it… 30 times a week, if this comic goes up.
