How to Draw Comics

Comic books have become more and more popular over the years. Maybe you have thought to try drawing comics but you are faced with several problems. You may be bothered by such questions as how did I draw? Am I good enough to learn? Where should I start from. If you do really want to draw gorgeous comic pictures, here I would like to list three helpful books for your reference.First of all, you need to get to know what are comics pictures and how to distinguish them. You'll also need to know how to master the story-telling skills by using a series of pictures. And unless you want it to be page after page of similar-looking frames, you will need to know how to combine the layout as well as look of your drawings to create interest settings. It is a little bit like the fact that the same story leaves people different impressions directed by different stage directors.To mind you, you do not just have one long shot of two people sitting on a couch, chatting. You need to start with a close-up of their  faces, then move to a long shot with both of them sitting on the couch. Then another close-up of the second person, then maybe a scene of both of their upper bodies.Here I would like to recommend you Drawing Words and Writing Pictures: Making Comics: Manga, Graphic Novels, and Beyond puts all this together into a single comprehensive book. This is really a good comic book and it is structured to work like a classroom textbook, which you can attack as if you were in a comic book writing class.You also need to put much attention to the storytelling skill (as has mentioned above), character creation, layout, transitions, lettering and some other aspects. You need to master all the basics on graphics and writing, with lots of examples to illustrate the points covered.Then it come to making comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels discusses all aspects of sequential art, or how to make a series of pictures tell a story. It covers things like how many panels to use and what sorts of things make a comic unique.What is special about the comic book is that it has discussed the difference between eastern and western comics. Manga is originated in Japan. Its popularity has spread here. Finally, a lot of attention is paid to creating interesting characters for without them, no one would read your comics.What if you have already got the background of comics?
