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.
