Really well done set of examples, John. I probably don't use enough varying views and camera angles - something that will be implemented more in Chapter 7. I'll still use the 5-panel format, but you'll (hopefully) see more inserts, and medium to close shots. That panel where you've zoomed into Pam's (?) eyes is very effective. Nicely done, and a good one to keep in my mind as reference.
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving, my friend!
Rod, thank you for the nice comment; I have a ton books on drawing comic books, I wanted to translate what was in those books to show what they would look like in DAZ Studio. Hopefully, in a future Visual Narrative Workshop give more of talk on this sheet of tips.

Thanks, but I wish I could write better stories.
