In this DVD, Stephen Platt covers
how to create a fully penciled page from beginning to end.
He begins with exploration in the thumbnail stage and enlarges
the chosen rough thumbnail using a photocopier and lightbox.
During the course of the demo, Stephen shows how he indicates
change in form, graduated shadows, texture and mass, all while
maintaining a dramatic graphic expression. In addition, he
discusses industry conventions as well as advice on portfolios
and earning a living in professional comics.
