About Making Comic:

If you’ve ever felt there must be something more to making comics than just copying drawing styles then this is the book for you.

In Making Comics, I do my best to cover the storytelling secrets I don’t see any other books talking about, including:

• Choosing the right moments to make into panels; what to include, what to leave out.
• Framing actions and guiding the reader’s eyes.
• Choosing words and images that communicate together.
• Creating varied and compelling characters with inner lives and unforgettable appearances.
• Understanding body language and facial expressions.
• Creating rich, believable worlds for your readers to explore.
• Picking the tools that are right for you, and understanding how those tools evolved.
• Navigating the vast world of comics styles and genres.

Whether you want to draw graphic novels, superheroes, neo-manga, comic strips or webcomics, you’re going to be putting one picture after another to tell a story. This is the book where I do my best to show you how.
