For those of you wanting to draw comics...

I saw this on Immonen's site and thought it would be a good idea to post it:

Draw pretty decent and frame panels like this and you'll be working forever.

Damn...I've never seen Manhattan before, now I may have to. All those shots look gorgeous.

Shit.

I need to watch this movie.

That was amazing. Thanks for posting that!

awesome, i love this movie.

in a lot of ways i try to avoid a cinematic feel in comics, but those are really nice shots.

Really cool and effective....

until the letterer has to do his job.

Really? I would think there's plenty of lettering room in those shots.

Room is just half of it... tails are the other half.

Also I really like the scene that pulled back and you're almost voyeuristically looking through the trees. But now imagine bubbles on top of the trees and tails leading to tiny heads.

It still works, but the impact is just really diminished.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't consider these types of awesome shots, more like if you're drawing them, don't be disapoointed when you see the lettered page.

good lettering doesn't hinder the comic page, it flows with the narrative. it can work with this stuff, maybe it's hard to tell because the idea of a balloon coming out of woody's mouth is terrible.

but still, it could work. that's why a singular cartoonist doing his own lettering creates such nice work.
