the way rendering art should work is the more time you spend on it the better it loooks. unfortunately not the case due to the universe's spaghetti coding

I was asked by a friend yesterday if I could offer basic tips about comic paneling. As it turns out, I have a lot to say on the matter! I tried breaking down the art of paneling using the principles of art and design, and I hope it helps you out!

EDIT: uh uh there are a lot of people reblogging this, so i figure i may as well append this now while i can lol

This whole thing was very much cranked out in a few hours so I had a visual to talk about with a friend! If this gives you a base understanding of paneling, that's awesome! Continue to pull in studies from the comics you see and what other artists do well and don't do well! You can tell paneling is doing well when the action is flowing around in its intended reading format.

Here's the link to the globalcomix article from which I pulled the images about panel staggering! Someone sent in a reblog that it wasn't totally clear that the 7th slide mostly covers what NOT to do in regards to staggering, and that is my mistake!

I saw in a tag that someone was surprised I used MamaYuyu too, and I don't blame them lol. If I had given myself more than a couple hours maybe I would have added something else on, I just really admire MamaYuyu's paneling personally.

uh uh, final append: I am by no means a renowned master of paneling, so if you find anything off base here, by all means, counter it with your own knowledge and ways you can build upon from here! Art is always a sum knowledge of everything we find. 💪

Hello all, apologies for no art in a long while.

School and a new job has been keeping me busy!!

That said, what downtime I do have has been for gaming mainly, and that has recently been for Veilguard.

Please meet my Rook because I adore them.

Meet Kalais Laidir , a tall beefy, but not too beefy, they/them from the Lords of Fortune who I am.... so in love with. Only about eleven hours in the game, so no spoilers, please. Enjoy a small photo dump of my sarcastic but sweet child who's just trying not to die, thanks.

writers and artists will go “this isn’t good enough.” my brother in christ, you’re creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you’re doing great.

really helpful technique ^ once you know how to divide by halves and thirds it makes drawing evenly spaced things in perspective waaay easier:

I can finally share this!

I made a character sheet for the Polar Tang for Alilman_writes’s fic Saudade with some headcanons we both had!

Now I’m really tempted to make one for all the ships in One Piece?

Feel free to ask questions if you have any!
