As I work my way through the creation of The Last of the Polar Bears, I will be periodically writing about the creative process of building a graphic novel from the ground up, such as how to develop a story, its characters, and the world they inhabit, how to work your concept into a script, and the process of creating the sequential art (page and panel layouts, penciling, inking, screen tones, coloring, lettering and ballooning).  I’ll be writing about these topics in no particular order, so if there’s a specific subject you want to know about, let me know.
