Some very interesting insights. I'll be printing out the list and giving them all a go.
Jay,
There are 10 more items on the list. I'll do the next ones soon. There are a few more insights on the same page too. I will post all of them here, but you might want to wait until I have put up all of them before you print them out.
Some of them are peculiar to Seth's particular style--all outline, thicker and thinner lines, & so forth, but probably are useful with other styles as well.

Indeed, some of these points are verrrrry Seth related (as they should be!). Especially in regards to his amazing grasp of perspective.
At this point I’ve never even attempted to draw 2 panels, let alone a comic book page. Just the occasional single drawing for me, but I’d like to make the jump.
Seth’s words will be encouraging. They already are.
