In this first DVD of a series on
comic book illustration techniques, David Finch takes you step-by-step
through the processes he uses to create the
highly detailed pencils of a comic book page. This lecture will lead you
from the very basics of tube forms and page layouts to the finishing
techniques of rendering and texturing an image. You'll also learn about the
physical tools used by the artist to create various effects and backgrounds.
This DVD also gives you a first-hand look at the evolutionary process an
artist undertakes in the conception and development of a new character,
including the artist's thoughts and decision making, and how mistakes and
design problems can be resolved when they arise.
