Comic Book Pencilling with Stephen Platt

Stephen Platt is one of the best comic artists and my personal favorite. This DVD is great for anyone interested in becoming a better comic artist. He not only explains what he is doing, but WHY he is doing it and that is really important for any teacher to acknowledge. He begins the lesson small with explanations of the importance of thumbnails and then proceeds to create a great finished pencil page from start to finish. Some of the tips and tricks become a little redundant and I would have liked to have seen an edited down version of a couple different drawings rather than one uncut segment. He speaks of a future DVD and I really hope this comes out soon because I will be first in line to pick it up. Thanks Splatt for your great work and I hope to see you back in comics one day.

Stephen Platt is a personal favorite of mine the level of detail in his art is amazing! This DVD can teach anyone the most powerful tool in any comic artist utility belt, the thumbnail sketch. He also talks about other very important key points like drama and emotion. A truly great lesson. I have watched it at least 15 times! AWESOME!!!

Entertaining and pretty informative.

Stephen goes indepth with his thoughts and process on pencilling and explains reasons behind why pencillers draw things certain ways. You will definitley get more out of this than short youtube videos!

Great artwork and Stephen is exceptional at explaining his process as he is drawing. A lot of good stuff for artists to learn.

Worth the purchase and watch. Very talented artist and you watch as a general idea becomes great artwork. Not for a super beginner.

Stephen Platt and Gnomon Workshop have created a great tool for comic book artists. The presentation was clear and very educational. I'd recommend this to any artist looking to expand their horizons.
