ReplyDeleteThank you. It won't be long.
DeleteThanks for this and helping with the first steps of creating a comic book. One of the hardest things to do in any medium is to take someones idea of plot/story, action, adventure, emotions that are just words; visualize them into something that makes sense and breath life into it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know for sure if it's appropriate, but as a viewer I was wondering a little bit about your creative process. When a writer writes something, what do you go through to decide what kind of image would go with that? Of course, you might already be planning to cover all this in the one where you discuss roughs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your question. I'm mainly an illustrator of comics and writing is usually a separate profession. But I can say that like cinema, comics has its own language and writers learn that language to know when to have a long shot and when to have a close-up, etc... Long shots are good for setting a scene. Close-ups are good for details, intense moments and so forth. Hope that helps.
