RE: How I paint comics: The Techno-Templar #40
I love watching the process of true artists. It's a skill I've never had, but always wished would magically happen some day. Thanks for sharing! Also, I never really thought about graphic novels as being individual works of art, but they absolutely are. This post was eye opening for me!
Thanks for your comment @mattifer!
Definitions of art are very relative of course but I think there is a difference between some comics where there's purely illustrative skills (which sometimes makes them less looking like a piece of art) and others with stronger artistic personnality pushing boundaries, those latters going slightly more towards exhibitable pieces of "art". Again, this is very relative.
Personnally I'd like to merge all of this as the most as I can to find a good equilibrium, still searching ...
I'd say you're doing a great job of it so far. You've even reshaped the way I look at comics and graphic novels. That's a win!
