Here are some thumbnail storyboards that I create to figure out the layout of each page for Freeway.
Each thumbnail is quite small and varies in size with the average size being 2.5 inches by 3 inches. They are also quite crude and quite cryptic but they help me to build the page and to figure out how many pages I need for each chapter.
Here is a detail of a thumbnail sketch of page 254 and the finished page.
One can see how different the finished page is to the thumbnail. In the thumbnail, I originally drew a few panels showing Alex freaking out as his car's dash warning lights come on. When I finally designed the original page I felt those panels slowed the action down so I got rid of them.
