Here’s my week one homework assignment for the Drawing Words and Writing Pictures “nomad” group in which I’m participating. The assignment was as follows:
What you should be aiming for in this assignment is something along the lines of the “Drawing time” activity—a complex action that requires readers to follow along a certain path to understand it. The content is entirely up to you, but think of your characters as telling the story with their bodies.
Looking back over this now, I don’t think I’ve been wholly successful here. I’ve certainly got plenty of motion and action, but I didn’t really get the “following along a… path” part. If I have time before starting Chapter Two, I may try to revise this to get a little more cause and effect storytelling into the image.

You’ve got the path, right along that bullet trajectory from the left of the panel through to the gorilla’s head. I think you’re missing the complex action part. All your action if grouped right in the middle and fairly easy to “get” all at once.
I just discovered your blog and I’m interested to see you going through the book like this. I’ve been reading it and thinking of doing the same thing (blogging the process), but not sure I have the time to spend.
