How Radiant Woman Was Created

Scripting & Penciling

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? Scripting is the first step. The challenge is teaching people EFT in a few pages. You build a script by pages and panels.

Penciling is the next major step. It’s taking the script and turning it into visuals. Here’s an example of penciling a page.

Inking

After the pencils are approved, the artist inks them in black ink.

Coloring

Another important step is coloring. The artist who colors creates the mood, setting and action for the comic book.

Lettering

In this step, the lettering artist adds captions to the colored art. After that, the comic book is assembled electronically and sent to the commercial printer for pre-press, printing and bindery work.
