THE CREATION OF A COMIC BOOK PAGE

THE JOCK-ITCH COMIC WAS PRINTED IN BLACK AND WHITE FOR THE SOLE REASON THAT YOU HAVE TO PRINT AROUND 10000 COMICS IN COLOR TO MAKE A PROFIT OFF OF THEM. SO BLACK AND WHITE WAS THE ECONOMICAL CHOICE FOR ME AND MOST SMALL PUBLICATIONS. BUT ORIGINALLY IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE IN COLOR AND ENDED UP INKING AROUND ELEVEN PAGES BEFORE I REALIZED HOW MUCH IT WAS GOING TO COST TO PRINT THEM. SO IN TURN I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY PROCESS OF CREATING A COMIC BOOK PAGE.

1) FIRST YOU HAVE TO WRITE A SCRIPT FOR THE COMIC BOOK
(THIS IS THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT WRITTEN ON NOTEBOOK PAPER)

2) SECONDLY DRAW A ROUGH SKETCH FROM THE DIALOGUE

3) IN ARTRAGE(COMPUTER PROGRAM) I DO ANOTHER REFINED SKETCH

4) THEN I GO OVER THE SKECTH IN INK

5) ADD WORD BUBBLES AND DIALOGUE

6) LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS THE COLORING

AND THAT IS THE FINAL PRODUCT OF A COLORED COMIC BOOK PAGE.

AROUND 6 TO 8 HOURS OF WORK.
