Fix Your Boring Flat Drawings with Depth Tricks

Learn comic drawing techniques focused on line weight and shadow placement in this lesson, which emphasizes the use of line weight and shadow to bring illustrations to life. Watch as @DavidFinchartist explains a simple, effective design pattern for a comic panel. Dark lighting outlines the figures, opening up in the middle to draw focus. Foreground elements frame the panel. Line weights and shadows add depth, with thicker lines for closer elements and thinner lines pushing elements back. Compositional shadows frame the main figures, while the dark foreground and light background details maintain focus. Minimal rendering with shadowing and detail creates depth and dimension while keeping the basic composition.

Finch is so mastered at character illustration it's easy to forget he's equally skilled with composition. That frame is absolutely full of clutter and still every element serves the visual flow perfectly. Awesome to watch

@wydua2049 Ай бұрын

This is gonna be a bit off topic. But watching few videos on this channel i discovered kinda cool way of learning when you can see reference on screen and then the artist disects it. It is good to draw from the reference and then draw ffrom reference to the side, but follow the artist. This way you can see your mistakes super well and can improve a lot. I kinda use this method to improve my gesture drawing abilities and i have literally seen improvement in the matter of few days.

@wydua2049 Ай бұрын

To anyone. Improvement does not mean i am already perfect oh no no. But it already was visible enough to give that boost of "woah i am going to make it"

Controlling the composition with lights and shading is a nice method. Personally I use dynamic lines, thin amd thick, medium and other sometimes 3 line types with one stroke to make the background lighter and front darker or lower parts of the page darker and upper part lighter, it looks intresting together with shading.

@ProkoTV Ай бұрын

We've had a few story board artists on the channel: Rembert Montald, David Colman and more. Rembert storyboards for games and David works in film like storyboarding the recent film Rendield. They just usually end up talking about composition, ideation or other topics because a comprehensive class on storyboarding is a little more job specific than our videos normally are. Our lessons on comic composition from David and our Marvel course here on KZfaq will be applicable to that, though! Here's Rembert breaking down a scene as a storyboard artist: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqd2h5t8uMy-o40.htmlsi=1hYYvTK59HmDPjDg

How does his graphite looks so smooth, it's like the same shade and smooth as butter it feels like in the big areas, is it the paper, the graphite or just his control? or maybe a combination of all?

@ProkoTV Ай бұрын

Like you'd said, a combination of them all. For what it's worth, he uses 2mm Staedtler 2H leads with a Staedtler Mars 780 2mm drop clutch.

@patrickbosworth1010 Ай бұрын

Combination of all, but mostly his control! David uses a very hard lead, Staedtler 2H, on Strathmore 200 series smooth Bristol paper which will give you a nice smooth surface to shade. His 30 years in the industry has a little something to do with it too! :D

Cadê os desenhistas brasileiros que não tão entendendo nada que ele diz mas quer aprender dynamic sthing

@jandersonsilva1500 Ай бұрын

Algo que não entendo é o fato de ele usar grafite 2h nos seus desenhos e o traço fica escuro como se fosse um grafite 2b, já que o grafite 2h a pigmentação é clara.

@ProkoTV Ай бұрын

O estilo de renderização de David é tal que seu trabalho parecerá fortemente contrastante, um pouco mais escuro, mas as linhas que ele faz com esta ferramenta não são incrivelmente escuras. (Às vezes é difícil fazer os desenhos aparecerem no vídeo) Um 2H ainda é capaz de deixar uma marca bem escura, mas não tão facilmente quanto um 2B. Embora existam outras diferenças de qualidade que fazem um 2H parecer mais leve na maioria dos casos, é mais difícil do que um 2B. O 2B sendo mais suave significa que você pode deixar mais grafite na página com um traço mais suave, fazendo com que pareça “mais escuro”. Espero que esta resposta de tradução automática faça sentido!

The penciling is great, the inking is atrocious. It lacks personality, a distinctive confident style is missing... it lacks a unique, mature methodology.
