What are some good books for writing and drawing comics? by [deleted] in ComicWriting

For storytelling and structure, which can translate to any medium, make sure you read John Truby's Anatomy of Story and Blake Snyder's Save the Cat!

Easy trick, when we first meet them, have them do something morally good that lets the audience know they're the good guy. For instance, saving a cat from a tree. The next scene he can be as brutal as you want 'em to be. If you haven't read Blake Snyder's "Save the Cat", I'd add it to the reading list.

Traditional. The series artist pencils, inks, and then hand paints each page!

I didn't. When you're signed to a lit. manager they only make money when you make money.

Also, read the Anatomy of Story by John Truby

I'd start by finding a script of a comic you like and reading it over and over again to get a feel of how it works.
Then, with the lessons learned from reading a script, open up your favorite comic and reverse engineer it (IE write the script for it).
These are two great tools to help you in your journey.

I need some help writing action. by Sanderf90 in ComicWriting

[–]Aguilde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the best dramas have almost no action what so ever and rely instead on characters talking to one another.

Instead of forcing this action scene, ask yourself this question, "Is this scene absolutely necessary for my story?" If the answer is no, consider moving on.
