OK, you know what? I don’t have a clever post in me this week. I may be getting a cold, I have a con to go to this weekend, and I feel super-cranky. So instead of yelling at you, I’m just going to point you to some awesome stuff other people did, and hope you come back next week anyway.
Let’s do this.
- Comic Book Tutorial is a pretty in-depth series about making comics, it geeks out a bit about traditional tools (you know, like ink and stuff) and tells you about how to do this stuff start to finish. Pretty cool for a free web resource.
- The maker of Inner Space has something a little more specifically about panel layout, leading the eye, and that sort of stuff. Solid info with cute characters to boot. Yes.
- Matthew M. Lakowski has a series on perspective, composition and that kind of stuff. Breathtaking art provided per illustration and inspiration. For some reason the series is posted on DA (you have a website, why use DA?), link will take you to the first one.
- But hey, you know something about all that golden rule, eye-path composition stuff? Maybe it’s all more tradition than fact. Fascinating discussion by James Gurney using eyetracking technology and dinosaur paintings. Read Part 1, part 2, part 3.
That’s it from me for this week.

Sorry you aren’t feeling too good *cyber hugs*. Hope you feel better at the con. Thanks for sharing these great finds! The perspective and composition one looks particularly interesting
