Hi. Lookin' at your pages I can see you've a pretty consolidated style, that's good. Also your composition is very dramatic and dynamic, that's good but always keep in mind when to exagerate with drama and when keep things simple. As every pro in the industry will say you always keep practicing with anatomy, not only human anatomy, also objects, animals, clothes; that's something you'll always try to improve if you're smart, even when you'll be in your 80's. I'd suggest you, 'cause I see you ink your own work, to work on your line, line modulation is essential to give the illusion of three-dimensional space onto a flat plane (the paper or the screen). Also try to differentiate more your characters facial features and expressions, go to a crowded place, like a train station or a bar, and draw the people you see trying to capture their mood in the simpler way you can; fast-paced life drawing is something that will pay you back when you'll need it. Aside these usual guidelines that are quite general your work looks good and will look better as you go, the important thing is that you keep practicing on anatomy, composition and line. Hope this helps. Best, Antonio.

Positioning the "camera" at head hight is "quite", flat and of simple readability, while positioning the camera from below and using a more dramatic body gesture makes the scene more dramatic, strong and communicative. Making the a page using head-hight panel only is boring, while making a page with dramatic from below panel only is boring too. You've to figure out how to use camera placement and panel lay-out to give the tension, reading speed and storytelling you wanna to the page and, thus far, to the story itself. You've to understand when slower is better and when faster is better, when quieter is better and when louder is better. Hope it makes sense. Best.

Sì, beh, non è che noi scribacchini si abbia gran materiale da mostrare... Se non fosse per i disegnatori con cui collaboro, non sarei qua!

Effettivamente mi Γ¨ sempre saltata all'occhio le difficoltΓ  che vi si pongono davanti quando cercate di mostrare il vostro lavoro a qualcuno, nel caso di un "artista visivo", volente o nolente si riesce a far cadere l'occhio dello spettatore sulla tavola (o scultura o fotografia) ma nel caso di un prodotto meno immediato (scrittura, editing e simili) diventa molto piΓΉ complicato riuscire a farsi un minimo di promozione, basti dire quanti aspiranti o anche pro writers vedo alle convention che tentano di mollare agli editors pacchi di decine e decine di pagine sceneggiatura e puntualmente gli viene detto di seguire un certo itere estremamente piΓΉ lento e laborioso.

FedericoMemola In reply to fragcomics [2011-07-31 09:26:04 +0000 UTC]

E' normale: su di un disegno, anche senza stare ad osservarlo con attenzione, il colpo d'occhio Γ¨ immediato. Una prima impressione te la fai in pochi secondi. Un testo va letto, richiede tempo da parte del fruitore. Che spesso Γ¨ di fretta, Γ¨ stanco, non ha voglia, deve prima stare dietro a scadenze e urgenze... Insomma, Γ¨ dura farsi strada scrivendo! PerΓ², essendo stato curatore di testata per tanti anni, conosco molto bene anche l'altro lato della barricata. Io stesso mi sono ritrovato a rispondere alla gente a settimane di distanza, a volte anche mesi. Ho sempre cercato di rispondere a tutti comunque, ma Γ¨ chiaro che tutto quel che non Γ¨ urgente passa in secondo piano. E quando magari hai un po' di tempo, ma sei esausto, non solo non hai voglia di metterti a leggere il materiale di chi si propone, ma sai anche che non sei nelle condizioni migliori per valutarlo con cura.
Come ho detto, Γ¨ dura!

"Γ¨ dura!" credo che racchiuda nel migliore dei modi la questione ed Γ¨ tranquillamente estendibile a tutti gli aspetti di questo mestiere

Mah, viste le cifre che girano qua in Italia (escluse le solite Bonelli/Disney/Astorina/S: Paolo), puΓ² essere che sia comunque meglio il pagamento in dollari con il cambio sfavorevole!

fragcomics In reply to FedericoMemola [2011-08-03 12:53:44 +0000 UTC]

Su questo ti do ragione, perlomeno puoi aggiungerci "il prestigio" di lavorare per un certo tipo di mercato e di girare (sia carataceamente che fisicamente alle conventions) in un certo tipo di ambiente che, triste dirlo, Γ¨ molto piΓΉ accogliente di quello italiano (e lo dico davvero con la tristezza sul volto).
