How To Draw Noir Comics TP

Description

The concept of "noir" immediately brings to mind bleak urban settings; rough, seedy characters; and dim, obscure lighting--the antithesis of all that is cheerful, friendly, and bright. In HOW TO DRAW NOIR COMICS, author Shawn Martinbrough illuminates the irresistibly murky universe of gangsters, superheroes, and other creatures of the underworld for all to explore and master. When it comes to drawing noir comics, it's all about the expert use of the "color" black, and Martinbrough shows how to use it to its fullest potential to create shadows, silhouettes, texture, and more. He demonstrates how to set a mood, design characters and locations, stage action, and enhance drama, and he discusses important topics like page layout, panel design, and cover design.
