Features: The basic techniques of making comics actually involve the use of pens and tone techniques. You can boldly decide to use new art supplies, or try using a computer to create them, but your strong interest in making comics will not be limited to these two factors. You can imagine the scene of continuously practicing drawing with a pen dipped in ink on the drawing paper; or imagine the posture of constantly cutting tone samples with a knife and pasting them piece by piece onto the drawing paper. After a period of hard work, you will be excitedly hugging the comic manuscript stained with dirty marks. This book is written by Tendo Ryo, a renowned Japanese comic artist with rich teaching experience. It details various basic techniques for creating comics using pens and tones, making it a must-read textbook for comic beginners. Especially the multiple comic works demonstrated to readers using special pen techniques and tone effects are highly reference-worthy.
