How to make the audience "feel" the story while they are "reading" the story. Using his experiences from working in the comic book industry, movie studios and teaching, Marcos introduces the reader to a step-by-step system that will create the most successful storyboards and graphics for the best visual communication. After a brief discussion on narrative art, Marcos introduces us to drawing and composing a single image, to composing steady shots to drawing to compose for continuity between all the shots. These lessons are then applied to three diverse story lines - a train accident, a cowboy tale and bikers approaching a mysterious house. In addition to setting up the shots, he also explains and illustrates visual character development, emotive stances and expressions along with development of the environmental setting to fully develop the visual narrative.

A must-have for illustrators and comic book enthusiasts. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome! *by D***R on 9 October 2020* Awesome! Thanks to Amazon and the seller Cloudtail India Ltd. I got the book at an amazing price. The packaging however was not hard covered and that resulted in a significant dent on the bottom right corner. But still m happy with the purchase. It was a steal deal. One of the great books to have in your arsenal if you want to learn about the art of graphic storytelling. Because, seriously, there aren't many such. It's really an impressive book coming from 20+ yrs experience of the author with animation giants like DreamWorks and Sony Pictures. The author is an illustrator, an expert on visual storytelling and his instructions and technique in the book are quite powerful and compelling. You won't regret buying it. Design Studio Press publishes just so very beautiful and good looking prints.
