Leveling Up My Comic Art: The Power of Going Digital

March 7, 2024

So, here's the thing: working digitally on my comic books has basically given me a one-up on my former self. Yeah, I said it. I'm talking about the guy from a decade ago, back when everything was done on paper and a mistake meant hunting down an eraser or starting the whole darn thing from scratch. Can you believe it? Those were the days, right? Not to age myself, but hey, if I am, it's all good. I figure I'm just getting wiser.

Working digitally is like having the power of Ctrl-Z in your pocket, letting you march forward like a boss. It's like drawing on layers of onion skin, each one assigned to a different stage of the process. I've got one for the initial thumbnail, another on top for the roughs, then one more for the tight stuff, and so on until I hit that final stage. That's been my game plan for the comic pages lately.

And let's talk about zooms, baby! With digital, I can just zoom right in, cut, paste, and Boom! No need to redraw everything from scratch. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not one to shy away from redrawing, but when you've got a 32-page book on the line, sometimes you've got to cut a few corners.

Take a peek at these panels here. See how those layers work their magic? I've made a promise to myself to step up my background game, so this time around, I'm taking a bit more time to set the scene.

Keep following along with me on this comic book journey, folks. Thanks for tuning in.

See you next time,

-Haro!
