A Fistfull of sketches

I've started the pencilling stage of issue 3 of 6 MONTHS. All the layouts are done and I've been sketching away at certain panels, trying to find what works and what doesn't.
I do dozens of rough sketches.
Once I find what I like, I'll get the old Light box out and refine the pencils.
But I thought I show you lot, a few of those pencil sketches.
Some will make into the final stage, while I may use a variation of others.
Sometimes it clicks straight away and a panel will work with no or little fiddling about.
While others, if I can't get it to work I'll start from scratch.

Cheers boys, means alot.
Trying to get all the main work done on these sketches so when I get to the light boxing stage it's easier to do.
Pity it don't always work out that way.
