bsky had a little redraw trend not too long ago. i don't feel like finishing mine so here's the wip
og:
decided to draw this frame from Scott McCloud.
-- rare realism mention.
Happy Birthday to Scott McCloud!
I wrote a paper in college on the nine panel grid, Watchmen, and Giffen’s revolutionary use of it in the late 80s/early 90s Legion of Super-Heroes in an English class on the graphic novel, and this page from Ambush Bug Nothing Special was my intro illustration. I used panel transition analysis from Scott Mcloud’s Understanding Comics. That was one of the best papers I wrote in college. I have the original somewhere with all the color photocopies I made of LOSH and Watchmen pages—it was 1996, and I couldn’t figure out how to scan and insert pictures in text.
‘Spiderman: Into The Spider-Verse’ was STUNNING, and possibly my new favorite movie of all time. It really showcased the possibilities of what a visual medium like animation can do that others can’t, and demonstrated the difference between a 'superhero movie’ and a 'comic book movie’ while being both at once. I think it revolutionized what the 'infinite canvas’ could look like (sorry Scott McCloud, but your examples have been… weak) and I really hope it encourages other creators to push the potential of what entertainment and art can do! I left the theater more inspired to get back into storytelling than I’ve felt in years.
