Paper and Ink how-to video: Comic Book Pencilling with Stephen Platt by Stephen Platt 4_bulb Review this video!

In this DVD, Stephen Platt covers how to create a fully penciled page from beginning to end. He begins with exploration in the thumbnail stage and enlarges the chosen rough thumbnail using a photocopier and lightbox. During the course of the demo, Stephen shows how he indicates change in form, graduated shadows, texture and mass, all while maintaining a dramatic graphic expression. In addition, he discusses industry conventions as well as advice on portfolios and earning a living in professional comics.

I must say this was a really great DVD. Stephen is undoubtedly extremely talented so just watching him work is a privilege. But Stephen is also very very generous with sharing his ideas behind the process and, what's more, he's on the whole very clear in his expositions. Definitely a valuable DVD for any aspiring comics creator.

Beautiful drawing, but the artist is not very articulate and does a mediocre job of trying to explain his drawing techniques.
