Reblogging because I struggle sometimes myself
Some solid fundamentals, although for formatting a lot of comics are still done on 11 by 17-inch boards and shrunk down to 6.9 by 10.5-inch for printing. For more in-depth information on layouts and visual storytelling, check out Scott McCloud’s “Making Comics” and “Understanding Comics”.

Ok ok I’ve already told some people several times that I am really really really bad at explaining stuff (and it gets harder in english) BUT I’m gonna try this time real quick because hands are important.
Alright now there’s one thing I do when I am sketching hands which is this lil’ geometric fella:
This guy represents the palm of your hand or a closed fist. Now you have to add more squares on top of it to make fingers, like this:
We got ourselves a tourkey, remember, the middle finger is always the big one and the ring finger is the same size as the index finger,and we all know pinky is the smol one.
now all you have to do is erase some parts and add more details
“but tals that’s a boring 2D hand I want something more dynamic.”
Now that’s where things get complicated because from this step foward you have to know a bit about perspective and bend the first geometric figure
Also I have no idea to explain how the hell do I draw those fingers because they come out natually now.
