Layout and penciling with Me!!!






Hey for those of you who don't know about this already, I've got a Tutorial DVD out with Gnomon Workshop! And for those who have watched it already I would love to hear your thoughts on this, your review and perhaps what my next one should cover!

Here's a brief rundown:

In this DVD, comic book artist Alvin Lee explores the creation of two sequential comic book pages from script to finished pencils. He begins by dissecting the script through rough thumbnails, evaluating the pros and cons of each. He then lays out the two pages, discussing the importance of storytelling, character placement and readability in a sequential comic book layout. Next, Alvin shows how to prepare the layouts for light-boxing and sets up the final pages. He completes the demonstration discussing his pencilling techniques as he finishes the pencils with his own unique anime/manga influenced style.

Over 2 hours of lecture.
