La clase de cómic

Acclaimed illustrator and graphic novelist Mark Crilley returns with a new take on learning the essentials of making comics. His easy-to-follow instructions on the art of comic making, design, and storytelling provide the aspiring artist with an unparalleled learning experience. In this book you will meet Emily, a young and enthusiastic fan of comics, who has a story that she needs to tell. In her attempt to turn that story into a comic, Emily will meet three mentors who will kindly share their knowledge with her. Trudy, a high school student who works at the town comic book store, will teach Emily how to create expressive characters and convey action and suspense. Madeline, a self-publishing manga artist, shows Emily how to use a composition and layout panel to visually tell a story and how to develop a comic from script to outline and finished pages. Graphic novelist Sophie guides Emily through the intricate details of dialogue and sequences to lead the reader through the story. Page by page, you'll discover the events that lead Emily to create her own comic, as her mentors teach her (and you) the essentials of visual storytelling and comic book art. Each lesson builds on the previous one, guiding you through the steps necessary to plan and create your comic, with accompanying exercises to practice.
