Artist's Comments

A while ago I posted a step-by-step series of my work process in making a comic page. They were very quick and concise, and I always meant to go into more details, and touch upon some issues comickers should be aware of. Here, then, is the extended version. If you have additional questions, feel free to ask (but if they're software-related, I'll only answer if you're already quite familiar with the software – sorry, teaching Photoshop isn't my call!)

I keep toying with the idea of making a comic tutorial, but for one thing, it would be positively book-length, for another, it has been done masterfully several times, most recently by the wonderful Scott McCould, so it doesn't seem there's a point making another!

Excellent tutorial - I've wanted to make a comic for a while now, but I had no idea where to start up until now. @_@ Thank you for this - it will definitely be of some use to me! :3

Wow, it really lets one appreciate how much work goes into making a comic book (okay, I had some idea about that, but not that much).

Glad it's giving you something to start from! I'm sure you'll be evolving your own preferred work methods from there :)

this is INCREDIBLE. I used to have an entire book dedicated to comicking, and it didn't cover NEARLY as much as you covered here! I've learned so much just reading this through once; I can't wait to study it again so I can pick up everything I missed!

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

We feel the emptiness so we can find a way to fill it.

i have already praised your composition-page skills before, so no need to say that i think this is really useful. Thanks!
