I found this a while back on deviantArt and I just recently found it again on my computer. It’s a great challenge for artists to create different facial expressions for you characters.

You can make a sheet for each of your characters, draw their expressions, and keep it on hand to refer to when drawing your comics. It sure helps when you are under a deadline. It also has the added benefit of making you figure out these important facial features of your characters so they don’t look lifeless on the page.

Here is the link to the talented artist Nancey Lorenz at deviantArt…

Here is the file for you to look at, but please go to her DA page and download it there so she gets the hits on her page.

This is an 11×17  Template for drawing comic art pages in Illustrator.

The page is set to the official DC guides and work with any other traditional comic design templates.

This one is streamlined down from previous versions and is just set up for American comic standards. Let me know if you have problems downloading this and I will email it to you. You can reach me at briandenham @ gmail.com
