Customer Reviews
This book was very helpful in breaking down the steps to not only make a neat story but also eliminates all unnecessary characters,plots, and items to make your story better and more cohesive. The little diagrams and pictures in this book really helps with understanding harder concepts. Along with this book being very informative, it is also very humorous with the author's own life for reference. I would definitely recommend this book if your thinking about starting your own Webcomic or even an actual comic.
It's very insightful and funny. It feels like Star's videos in written form. It's also got great advice for storytelling of all sorts. Not just webcomics. I highly recommend.
I am halfway done with reading it and I am currently working on how to make my own comic, starting off with a batch of test pages where I try out different styles and backgrounds. That is easiest for me and still looks good!
Thank you for making the book!
This book is amazing, it has helped me flesh out characters for my stories. I wanna be able to make animations and comics or possibly voice a character one day and this book has been such a big help to help me really think on how to do it right!! I've been recommending it to all my friends.
I immediately opened the book once it got to the mail—and my my, it was a great refresher to me as an artist! I definitely plan to use this book as a reference. Here's what I enjoyed;
I like Star's artstyle, it works hand in hand with the lessons in the book. Clear, simple and easy to understand.
What I also found interesting [and extremely helpful because it's honestly rare to find in most art books], Is how it also covers the elements outside of just drawing—even covering the mental challenges a lot of determined artists face from time to time.
Obviously, There's a ton more to the book, but if drawing and/or making comics is your passion—this is a legendary book for you! I hope you'll enjoy it as much I am!
Thank you for reading. :D
Also Thank you Star & Team for the book and the work behind it :]
