Subtitles of the Movie

Over the course of this training you've learned how to do all of the drawing from your initial sketches and your thumbnails to your breakdowns to your finished pencils. You learned how to ink, learned how to color and flat and learned how to letter. And while I couldn't really go into great, great detail about the stylistic variances that you could have in any of those disciplines I gave you a very good overview of how to apply your own style and your own knowledge with those particular tools and techniques. Where we go from here is really up to you. The point of this training was to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the tools and techniques that are in the comic book industry. It's very, very easy to go to a comic book store or go to a bookstore and pick up a comic book or a graphic novel and see what a finished comic book page looks like and be mystified, not even know how it got to be where it is or what they were thinking or what the reason why things are the way that they are. This training series, hopefully, will have answered a lot of those questions and make it much more fruitful for you to go and look at those things and be able to understand where they come from, why they exist, why they were done the way they were done and why you might choose to do the same things or not. That is part of the reason why I have tried purposely to avoid giving you too much finished work with this, is because I'm not trying to create a comic book here. I'm trying to teach you how to think and problem solve and use techniques that are used within the industry. Hopefully this inspires you to try things that maybe you've never tried before. Hopefully this inspires you to go out and learn more about these things because there's a wealth of information out there. This is only the tip of the iceberg and, as I say, you could spend many, many years - as a matter of fact, I've spent the last 15 years of my life amassing the information that I've passed off to you and I promise it's only the very tip of the iceberg, however, 8 hours is only a finite amount of time. I really, really hope that you take advantage of the opportunity that I put out there with the script and with the character design sheets and starting off with a finished first page so you have some sort of idea about the project and take advantage of that and go ahead and submit to me for critiques. I really, really think that's a hugely valuable thing because a lot of people who have my experience and who have my background don't have time to do in depth critiques and part of the reason why that is, is because they're too busy working. So, it's a really, really valuable thing to be able to do that and, like I said, I can't promise I'm always going to be the most nice person but part of being a professional artist is to have a thick skin and to be able to take criticism and to be able to take rejection and to be able to use that as fuel to the fire to become better. And, of course, we can all be better. I can be better and everybody that I've ever met who works in the business thinks they can be better. No one is good enough. Everyone is constantly trying to improve and for that matter you should be, too. After watching this training you should get some ideas about other things that maybe you need to brush up on in order to be even better than you already are. So it never really ends. For me, this has been an ongoing process for 15 years and I imagine it will be the ongoing process for the rest of my life to constantly learn and refine information, to always be on the lookout for new tips and techniques that can refine what I already do to make it better. I hope you enjoyed this training and I hope that you seek out my future training videos so that we can both expand your knowledge and my experience and enjoy each other's company yet again.
