Throughout October, I’ll be drawing a piece of Konsi art every day as a Drawtober challenge. Here’s the prompts I’ll be using.
You can find the art on Mastodon, Tumblr, Bsky, or Twitter. First two are best.
This is a surprisingly smart read for Xanathar’s Guild thieves.
What about making the panel more zoomed out? Would that make it harder or easier to draw than using perspective?
Oh yeah, I can draw a zoomed out panel, but… there’s a lot of competing factors in comic design here.
A lot of the visual identity of a comic like this is in the character designs, and a lot of the emotion and body language is conveyed in close up. If I show a zoomed out panel, I can’t really convey any details of the characters, either in their outfit or their expression. The leader is also a “new character” so… it’s important to let the audience get a good look at him a few times to get used to him.
But this is missing the forest for the trees a bit here. What happened was I drew this comic like this, because it’s best for dialogue, and I drew the next one spread out because it’s best for action, and made a continuity error due to a technical mistake.
