2 Techniques that Pro Comic Artists use EVERY DAY

Ryan Benjamin is a comic artist who has worked for both DC and Marvel and he has some valuable techniques to share when it comes to drawing comics. First, you’ll learn about the materials that Ryan uses to set up all of his pages. He then transitions to the early stages of layout using his red pencil. He views the red pencil as his thinking tool, and then when he’s ready, he switches to rendering with a standard pencil and turns his brain off. This is a process that he’s used over and over and now it’s become second nature to him. He finishes his demo by showing you his shading technique using 3 values while hatching.
