HOW IT IS MADE

Creative Process

A practical path from first gesture to a readable, high-impact comic image.

1

Gesture

Start with the line of action and the weight of the pose. Energy comes before detail.

2

Structure

Build the figure with simple forms so the pose remains clear and balanced.

3

Silhouette

Test the outer shape. A strong character should read before interior details appear.

4

Costume

Use shapes, layers, and accessories to communicate identity and function.

5

Effects

Add motion lines, energy forms, lighting, or environmental cues that support the story.

6

Finish

Refine the line, values, color, and focal point without losing the original movement.
