My First Three-Panel Boxing Comic: Wriothesley’s Victory!

1. Why Did I Start Drawing?

I’ve always admired boxing illustrations, but I never seriously tried drawing one myself—until now! This is my very first attempt at a three-panel comic, and I wanted to challenge myself by capturing the intensity of a boxing match in just a few frames.

Since I’m still experimenting with comic-style storytelling, I had one goal in mind: Wriothesley must win! As a fan of his character, I wanted to depict his strength and resilience in the ring.

2. The Creation Process

To bring this scene to life, I followed a simple step-by-step process:

Step 1: Draft Sketch

I started with a rough draft sketch to lay out the composition of the panels. This helped me decide the poses, perspectives, and overall flow of the comic. Since it was my first attempt, I focused on keeping things dynamic and readable.

Step 2: Final Pencil Sketch

Once I was satisfied with the draft, I moved on to the final pencil sketch on a fresh page. Here, I refined the anatomy, facial expressions, and key movements to ensure the action looked convincing.

Step 3: Digital Outlining in Ibis Paint X

After completing the sketch, I took a photo and imported it into Ibis Paint X for outlining. This step was crucial for defining clean, bold lines that gave the artwork a polished comic-book feel.

During the outlining phase, I made an important adjustment:

➡️ I changed Wriothesley’s head angle to a 3/4 view to add more depth and intensity to his expression.

Step 4: Adding Effects and Final Touches

To enhance the impact of the scene, I added several key elements:

✅ Boxing ring for a proper setting.

✅ Punch effects to emphasize movement and power.

✅ Sweat details to highlight the physical intensity.

✅ Dialogue and sound effects to make the comic more immersive.

3. The Final Result

I’ve included a  photos of the entire process below. It was a fun and rewarding experience, and I’m excited to create more boxing illustrations in the future.
