Sketching Figures, Perspective, and Panels with David Finch

Рет қаралды 75,260

Күн бұрын

David Finch gives an essential overview on how to sketch comic panels. His demo shows how he uses simple shapes and basic perspective on a small layout to plan a full comic page. At this stage of the process, the focus is on mapping out the broad story visually without getting stuck in the details. By starting with a “rough in” an artist can easily adjust any layout issues, making sure the characters and setting are proportionate and unified before moving forward with the page.

Well how would that change anything by the way? Will you still expect the code to work after the 29th? Or does your IQ help in understanding it is until the end of February? SMH@@joeleboeuf

Just what I needed! Well, not neccessary for comics, but for storyboarding panels for game cutscenes (maybe it could be a tutorial video, too?). Thank you so much for all these tutorials, Proko and David! I've been watching you both for years.

After you do the thumbnails, do you enlarge them and trace over for final board?

@ProkoTV 3 ай бұрын

Yep! Depending on if people are working digitally or what their personal preference is, some artists will also "thumbnail" on the larger size comic board with blocky sketches. But traditionally, this was a process of sometimes photocopying the thumbnail to larger scale or otherwise reproducing the thumbnail at a larger size on the final drawing board.

February 31st is whenever you want it to be! It's an *aspirational* date. In all seriousness, this one just slipped through QC and we've adjusted this so it lasts until March 4th. The people responsible have been spanked and grounded for the weekend.
