I'm a big illustration and comic book fan. In my eyes, comic books and illustration are the same kind of art forms.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm more into graphic novels than comic books.
I've done illustration on the side. But other than that, comics have been my main things.
I think you can do anything with comics that you could do in just about any art form.
I just love comic books. I've always loved comic book art, and I just think it's amazing.
I've been trying to make this argument that digital comics and print comics are both art, but there are subtle differences.
There are still some people out there who believe comic books are nothing more than, well, comic books. But the true cognoscenti know graphic novels are - at their best - an amazing blend of art literature and the theater of the mind.
When you're drawing comics, you get very involved in how the story is going to develop and you spend more time daydreaming on that particular subject.
At any comic book convention in America, you'll find aspiring cartoonists with dozens of complex plot ideas and armloads of character sketches. Only a small percentage ever move from those ideas and sketches to a finished book.
I love comics and have since I was a kid. That is what gave me the idea to create my own.
Comic art is just different. It's art on its own terms.
