Thanks! No secret, just keeping these going daily...I'm working on a project that I've been wanting to do for about 12 years, so its close to my heart. I enjoy every one of these, and they don't feel like work. That's probably what you're noticing

On how to do what? Perspective? If that's what you mean, I would recommend a book called "Perspective for Comic Book Artists".

Gah! I'm sure it's getting annoying having me fawn over every single one of these, but they are too good! Really love the angle you've chosen here.

Haha Yeah, I'm pretty sure this has almost no chance of ever becoming a movie, but you never know I guess! Thanks!

These perspective drawings are awesome, I can never get my scenes to look this good.  Any tips?

MicahJGunnell In reply to Grymjack [2014-01-24 00:27:16 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I would recommend studying the rules of perspective from a good book like "Perspective for Comic Book Artists". Perspective, like anything else, requires a lot of study and a lot of practice in order to become proficient.

I understand that.  What I guess I was asking more about line weights, and general composition to make scenes come alive, and not look so static.

MicahJGunnell In reply to Grymjack [2014-01-25 20:15:36 +0000 UTC]

Well, the line weights that I used in this scene are all the same. I adjusted the opacity of the lines on the layers for the mid-ground and background to be lighter, since they are further away and was trying to give the effect of atmospheric perspective. Composition is a very big topic, and if you really want to learn about it, again, I would recommend reading up on it. There are lots of books on the subject, and a lot of information out there on the internet. That's how I learned about it, and by lots of drawing!
