Last part got a bit critical, for
some of you guys, may be. Thus, this time, will be letting the illustrations
speak more than the words. In this part, will show you a few styles of
illustrations that are being used by the comic book artists…
This method is quite popular for
old daily magazines or comic strips in it. Simple, with base colors and
exaggerated toons.
Most children’s comic books or
magazines, running monthly or occasionally, use this kind of artwork for their
story telling. Characters are close to reality but with simplicity in details
and coloring.
Many Japanese comics series can
be pointed out with such artworks. They are more focused to storytelling than
going into colors, details etc. from the very beginning. Nowadays, modern manga
comics are in colored form, with much greater and attractive artworks.
Believe it or not, there are some
bestsellers from USA with such artworks. Series of comics are made with such partially
drawn artworks, still with great composition and cinematic sense. Most of such
comics can go panels after panels without dialog bubbles, yet telling the story
like a cinema.
The most popular are such
artworks with babes and bright colors. Mostly popular among the males aged
between 12 – 45.
Anyways, if you are making your
own independent comics and not bound to draw in a specific way by your senior, one
must always try to look for his own style. It’s tough to develop one, but it
will certainly please you, when you will be yourself, in your illustrations and
draw in your own unique way.
