Any good resources for comic scripting/layout?
-
@StudioLooong Holy Moly. Thanks for this! This is great!!!
-
@Basil-Godevenos yeah you could spend months going through all of it, Evan was super thorough!
-
Have you read "Understanding Comics" or "Making Comics" by Scott McCloud?

@StudioLooong @StudioLooong Oh wow thanks for this! Very timely for me, too.
-
@CosmoglotJay I have not! But I'll definitely take a look. Thanks for the recos! Would you say it's ok to skip the middle book - "Reinventing Comics"?
-
@Basil-Godevenos have you looked at Jake's SVS video - Making Graphic Novels? Might be exactly what you're looking for.
-
@Kat Not yet! I found it after making this post. I had been searching for the keyword "comic" rather than graphic novel.
-
@Basil-Godevenos yeah, you can probably skip that one - or at least put it off until last. Unlike the other two, it got pretty dated pretty quickly. The two I mentioned are destined to be (almost) timeless classics.

There was a magazine for years titled 'Draw!' It was all about drawing comics. It might be difficult to find exactly what your looking for in them right now, but they're packed with in depth interviews and lots of ideas about drawing comic books. You can find old copies on ebay.
-
@StudioLooong oh dang thanks! i started outlining my comic ideas a few weeks ago.
-
@CosmoglotJay Thanks for the tip. I picked up the other two books and I've started reading "Understanding". Great so far!

Doug TenNapel has some videos on story planning for comics/graphic novels. https://youtu.be/XUGxTu-2y4M
