The comic artist

The Comic ArtistI am excited to see some interest on graphic novels on PFC. I must say the Passion for Comics in India has definitely gone up in the recent times. It’s all good for hardcore graphic artists turned filmmakers like me!

So here I present 2 pages I did 4 of years ago, its part of a series I am working on. Along with the graphic novels idea I am trying adapt this style for an animated short.

Help note: To navigate through the storyboard, move your mouse on the picture, to see the Panel-bar at the bottom of the image. The Panel-bar has : forward, backward, full screen buttons. For the best experience, view the Storyboard in full-screen mode.

      Thanks!
      I used to work with ink on paper; I use it rarely these days. This particular piece was done completely on the computer.

    Isnt it reverse inking or something. I mean normally people would use dark borders. But you have used black for the “main bodies” of the frames. Its like watching a camera reel, black where it should be white and vice versa! surreal!

      The reverse inking style that I know of is a very labor intensive traditional technique. What I have done is using a basic brush and eraser on Photoshop.

      thank you wb, sedhumadhavan, DPac, vinay!
