Summary

Writers and illustrators alike will find in this Complete Idiot's Guide the best overall introduction to the world of graphic novels. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Creating a Graphic Novel, Second Edition is a clear, step-by-step guide to creating a graphic novel from beginning to end-from developing a concept to getting it to readers. It begins with planning, plot, and dialog; moves on to pencil drawing, inking, and adding text and colors; and ends with the all-important tasks of publishing and marketing the finished novel. Heavily illustrated, it follows the evolution of an original 8-page story. Along the way, it explains the tools used, demonstrates techniques, and offers professional tricks of the trade.
