Day 3 of : Making Comics
Comics work via a particular kind of magic.
By drawing a frame or a panel you are enlivening that space. Within the frame with words and pictures you capture a scene, a moment in time in all its detail and character. Then you draw another scene.
But that neither panel is where the magic happens. Your two scenes are merely an invitation for the viewer to experience the magic.
But you cannot make the viewer happen, the viewer does.
