Just like doing a movie, there are several stages to go through to complete a printed full color comic book. First it starts with a concept. What do we want to convey? Who is our audience? for the comic book?
Step One: Scripting
Scripting is the first step in doing a comic book. The challenge is teaching people EFT in a few pages. You build a script by pages and panels.
Step 2: Penciling
Penciling is a major step. It’s taking the script and turning it into visuals. Here’s an example of penciling a page. Click on the image for a larger view.
Step 3: Inking
After the pencils are approved, the artist inks them in black ink.
Step 4: Coloring
Another important step is coloring. The artist who colors creates the mood, setting and action for the comic book.
Step 5: Lettering
In this step, the lettering artist adds captions to the colored art.
Step 6: Production
The comic book is assembled electronically and sent to the commercial printer for pre-press, printing and bindery work.
