Although tailored to film and video, this link might go some way to explaing why he should be looking into the page and not out of it.

sorry I didn't explain myself.

I don't mean that there should be a reverse shot of Dredd on last panel, I meant that should the man and son be on the right in the establishing shot with Dredd on the left so that on the last panel Dredd is shooting off the page not into it?

Hi all, can I just ask a question of the pros?

Most of the samples I've seen on this topic show the images leading from right to left - as in boy and dad to the left in the second panel, Dredd on the right.

This leads to the shooting shot of Dredd coming from right to left.

I've always been led to believe that as far as possible the action should lead to the bottom right hand panel as it were to encourage a page turn.

So, shouldn't the positions be reversed to Dredd is essentially shooting off the page rather than into the joining panel on the left?

Or have I been mislead?

Been lurking for a while and just thought I'd say Hi!

So Hi!

I am a journalist, editor and writer  - alas made redundant in time for Christmas when my magazine folded!

Also like drawing and I have a question!

I have started "theming" my sketchbooks as a challenge and have been doing an A-Z of 2000AD and am stuck.

I need a character for the letters X and Y. Help!

Here's a pic of the letter A, most appropriately the ABC Warriors, done by phone as scanner is having issues!
