Comments on: Making Comics With Scott McCloud http://mangapunksai.com/site/making-comics-with-scott-mccloud/ It Sure is Purple In Here Thu, 09 Sep 2010 03:12:11 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Hannah http://mangapunksai.com/site/making-comics-with-scott-mccloud/comment-page-1/#comment-199 Hannah Sun, 06 May 2007 04:49:23 +0000 http://www.mangapunksai.com/site/?p=78#comment-199 That's strange! Not the book, mind you. (Which I love and have a copy of myself, along with Understanding Comics and I'm now looking for a copy of Re-Inventing Comics by Mr. McCloud) I was just thinking that it was strange, because I got the book around the same time that you got yours, I think. I bought mine on the second of April. I only know this because I made an obnoxious LiveJournal entry about getting it and overall being a spazz. I really do love how the book is set up, and how it's not a "How To Draw" and how it actually talks about more important things (in my opinion) about making comics. I especially love how he uses examples, like art from Amy Kim Ganter and Derek Kirk Kim, who are two artists whose art I've seen before (and admire) and they aren't technically 'greats' or that drastically well known. (Well, maybe they are, I didn't really check out how popular they are.) That’s strange!

I think many times what happens is people look at the pictures rather than actually reading the text. But I also find the books more augment existing skill and style rather than being able to teach absolute beginners. I've found many of them to be very useful, though, sometimes you don't quite grasps something until its explained to you in a certain way. And they're great to have around for reference :p @Andrea: I actually have alot of How to Draw Manga books.

That first book got me through my first half of college :D Ill have to go out and buy his other two now :) How To Draw manga books are nice... but i dont think they are really that helpful, except to study poses and expressions. Maybe i just havent read the right ones. I really loved Scott McCloud’s first book, but i didnt know he had others out!
