Comic Book Style...Detailed vs Simple. How do you choose? What's Best?
How do you balance the choice between simple 'toon' style coloring and more detailed painted look. How do you get your pages done in time when you like to create detailed art? Why do comicbook styles exist in the first place?
Lets dive in and try to answer some of these questions.
This is a laid back session where I try to answer a question posed in a comment on this video: (Where I was talking about how long comicbook pages take to finish)

Do you struggle finding the right style for you comics? Let me know if you have any questions about art, comics, schedules, and style to answer in future Q&A Videos.
Hello!!!
Hope you are doing good. I wanted to know which are the fundamental skills I will need, as a beginner, to create comic books?
Hey Tim, would you consider making a video or addressing in a Q&A breaking into the BD market as a foreign creative and what your experience has been like in that respect?
3 pages in on my first graphic novel. Developing a style for it was difficult, but I went for something a bit unconventional. It's pretty simplified without looking overly juvenile (which can be tricky.)
I'm not a master illustrator, so I know I'm not going to be completely happy no matter what I do, but I like what I came up with.
I needed to hear this thank you
This channel is really good. Thanks Mr
Simple coloring helps me focus on reading the comic better.
To me art is like learning a second language. It's pretty easy to learn the basics. But once that's done, you find out how much work and practice still needs to be done to achieve fluency. And I think with art, it's the same in that you get lost figuring out what direction to go with style and different mediums. I really enjoy listening to your videos because they help me feel less overwhelmed and lost on this self-learning path of an artist. I really want to do more than duplicate what I see. I want to create a visual story of people and places that don't exist. The problem is that I'm fairly new to illustrative/graphic books and it's difficult figuring out the breakdown of each panels for each page. I know it has a flow but it's hard to figure out the "rules" of the size of each panel and the focus moving from panel to panel. I don't know if you've talked about that particular topic yet but I'd love to watch it.
Thank you again for answering my question!
I think part of my conundrum is that I haven't figured out how much planning and patience I can give/be willing to give to any artwork; finding out that art style is partly a product of function might help point toward more efficient solutions. Currently, it does constantly feel like a tug of war between whether something deserves less, or more time. (it doesn't help that MDD hampers my ability to work)
Before, I didn't notice there was a difference between "the art one likes to see", "the art one likes to make" and "the art one's making for a comic", and I'll pay attention to that in the future.
I agree that the only real way to find and internalize other methods of working, and which is the one that speaks the most to an artist, is trying them out and making something, so I'm currently making an illustration to test out different line and coloring processes following the quickstart guide, but before coloring I will meditate more on your video and the advice.
I'm really thankful for this video. I have the same scenario as an illustrator/concept artist who wants to dive into comic book/manga storytelling. For me, something that's a bit of a constraint I got is that although I do believe that traditional manga inking seems to be quicker, I do not have proficiency in these, and my background as a digital illustrator makes it easier to produce a fully rendered page on 3 days rather than fighting the more mainstream manga style of rendering to end up doing 2 days on a page. Still trying to figure it out what's best while doing the sketches!
This video has been so inspiring, thank you very much for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience, it is so enriching!
Hello Tim, awesome video. I find it really cool that your take on the issue address the possibility of finding the rigjt market for oneself according to one's objectives not necessaraly in reggards to style, but in reggards to the day-to-day practice.
This video acctualy reminded me of a stream you made on CGW's channel in the beggining of the world's lockdown about how to keep your practice up living and working in a single environment and not seeing many people. That one might be a "one of" but Iit really helped me, so first of all thanks, and second maybe you should give it a try on doingmore videos in that vein, less the business side of things (don't get me wrong, those are great too) but aldo the mental/emotional side of things. Kind of in the vein of Steven Zapata's drawing meditations. I do love those but I'm not trying to push yiu to copy other people's content. I just think that that video (the live for CDW) hit something of a chord that maybe you should explore a little more.
Your remarks went less to the niche pgroup of people that want/need to make money with art and more to the just a little bit broader gropu of people that havea need to make some kind of art in their lives but don't necessaraly want/need to make it a career. (You also sounded much more intelectual/philosophical on that talk than o these more to the point, ad hoc, talks on your channel.)
I think that all that I'm saying is: give it a go since you might like it and your audience might appreciate your thoughts as well.
Thank you for your nice videos, this is a truly amazing channel.
Heya Tim, thanks for making this video! My current preferable style is the flat colours and lineart style!
I was wondering if you if you'd make a guide on how to transition from the usual line art + colour style, to a painterly and almost lineless style? I've been struggling to move away from the traditional lineart style and seeing your Morrigan artwork makes me wonder how you did your process on that piece!
That's why I see a big problem with young people starting out in drawing: they see social media posts and think they HAVE to draw like most famous drawing artists they like or that have popularity. They have this distorted thinking where they think there is a "good" style, and the line must be smooth and not shaky, for example. Reality is not like this though, bad styles work as much as the most refined ones, and I have a big comic artist in my shelf who uses precisely this technique, his drawings are not precise, with a shaky line. I love his drawings, precisely because they are not smooth and refined.
