Photo Reference, Comic Books and Me
Nov. 8th, 2006 07:58 pmA post on Johanna's blog on a contest launched by Buddy Scalera and Penciljack.com got me thinking: One of these years, I'd like to try an experiment: create a comic using nothing but photos of real people.
Yes, it's been done for years in any number of places, but it strikes me that it takes a bit of work to do it well, much as it does with pencil, pen and ink...whether you use photo reference in composing the page layouts or not.
Not sure if I'll ever get 'round to that experiment...but it's something I'd like to see if I can do at all. Heaven knows I've got the software for it.
In the meantime, though, I've got other fish to fry...
