Hey goat!!
#1 Your art is lowkey such a big impact for me you were the first Batman artist I ever found and I’ve stuck with you for about 2-3 years now so it’s insane seeing how gorgeous your style has gotten and how fluid your formatting and posing has gotten and I thank you so much for feeding me juicy joker content with your amazing colors
#2 What’s your favorite part of drawing for your rogues comics/comic panels in general ??? Like do you like the story boarding, the coloring, background details, yknow that kinda stuff. ALSO DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS ON HOW TO LAYOUT PANELS BETTER BECAUSE I SUCK AT DRAWING THE BOXES IN A COMPOSITIVE WAY
1# wow that's so awesome, I don't think too much of my art work from these last few years since I've been going at a slower pace than I was pre-covid, so it's awesome that some ppl have still found and chose to follow my work :'), I've been doing my best to practice and improve as much as possible so I'm glad all the work is paying off. 💜💜
2# for me, I'd say my favorite part is doing layouts, very closely followed by line art which has always been my favorite part of the process... I coloring is third because I do like it as well, but for comics it quickly becomes very tedious lol
as for comic layouts, I mostly study large publisher comics or veteran artists for that kind of thing... especially the older ones where the layouts are a little more simple and easier to follow...
indies, especially physically published indies with editors and such, can be really innovative and inspiring, but I tend to stick with big names for learning basic rules since they have these things down to a science
the main thing I try to achieve is clarity, readability and flow, as demonstrated by the images below (art by Steve Ellis), all western comics tend to follow the same left to right path down the page. it's not something you'll get the hang of immediately, but with practice it will become easier.
