Brian. comic to animation

I think i'm going to do my story board like this and animation like this of course with less detail. But i like how only black is used to add tone. Which means i need to get better at cross hatching and shading somehow. Here the character are separated from the background with a bold outline, this also helps to add depth to the image, as a bolder line gives the illusion that something is closer to the reader.

Also i have noticed in this page how the artist has made all the dark clothes black and the light clothes white. They've had to do this because the aren't using gray tone which is usually a great help at depicting objects and differences. Gray-toning is usually used with digital media, as traditionally comic are done with black ink.

It is possible to get gray with black inks, which requires water and i think it's not done because water could utterly destroy the page but also make it difficult to scan as water has a nasty habit of making paper warp.

So if i do gray-toning, i'll keep it to a digital media.
