How to draw manga comics panel and finished color video and step by step process

How to draw manga comics panel and finished color video and step by step process.

This is a process of the first panel on page 3 of "Shanghai Express."
The scene show interaction, mostly conversational, between the waitress and one of the character (monk dude)
The words in the bubble are still to be written.

*Since this will be Manga comics (color), my approach is the make most of the panels quick, simple style (which I am still experimenting to find my way), and readability. It would be as detail oriented as most of my video sketches. I cannot take a lot of time to refine, just like most manga...The Story goes on and keep up the pace. I hope you guys can enjoy this simplicity also. :)
