Love Your Regan Stuff So Much

Love your regan stuff so much <3 Also since you like questions may I ask about your process of making comics? Yours are so neat! I always struggle with panels and choosing an interesting perspective,,

thank u so much!

firstly i describe the idea with text (it's easier to choose the compose)

compose depends on what you need to show

if its hard, I'm splitting the text into small sentences that will become future frames

when you compose frames, you need to remember about text panels where you about where to place it

so when i have text of idea, i do draft storyboard (like this) (this is for big thing, but you can do same with smaller things)

about compose

(sorry about russian and tv format but with comics its almost the same)

you can choose the most suitable option, based on what needs to be shown, what kind of atmosphere, what emotions, what actions

the first frame has a domestic and frivolous atmosphere of the second one evokes a sense of the seriousness of the situation-a conversation

also you can create frames of any shape how you wanna just for fun or for plot

i use something like this for fast strips

and dont forget about facial expressions and gestures

you can use references, you can remember how you behaved in any situations

something can be borrowed from other works - movies, comics, manga (manga in this sense is my favorite, I really like how emotions are shown there) also cartoons are a very good base, since most often there emotions are exaggerated (memes are also good)

also you can use some templates for compositions the analysis of paintings from museums or drawings from the Internet is suitable for training

also in comics, animation principles are often used for brighter movement (t is not necessary to study everything, I would highlight the preparation, stretching and compression, movement in arcs (this is what I use most often))

for me, the most important thing is that the actions are understandable from the viewer's side

if you have a mess in your head and there are more questions, ask, I will be glad to answer
