Can painters and capable illustrators do comics?

[Anonymous No.4219483]

We all know that most comic artist cant paint or render that well, because the spend most of their pencling and inking.
My ques is can painters and illustrators do comic? And make stuff look 3d and intersting without relying on colors? and is it true that pencling and inking is harder than painting?

Of course they can, It all depends on how much time is spent on learning and practicing how. It’s a different set of skills sure but being an artist already will make it a lot easier.

Illustrators for sure. Part of the job is being able to do different styles. A portrait artist who's only ever done sight size? See prokos abortion.

>Can painters and illustrators do comics?
No, that's not allowed. Read the painter & illustrator's manual you vacuous imbecile. Once you delve into the job title of "painter" or "illustrator", you're locked into it for life, and can never draw comics, never, never not ever from that point on. Choose wisely.

Came here just to post this.

It's impossible, OP. Just accept your born condition as a painter and stick to your brushes and silly fruits.

Comic making is less about not relying on colors and more about using the language and format of comics to tell a story. And if you're not practiced in doing that it's going to come off awkward. Oh and also you need work incredibly fast and efficient.

Does storytelling for comics transition well to storyboarding, like for a movie or animation?

Do the skills needed for storytelling in comics also work for storyboarding ( like the ones used in movies, tv shows, and animation)?

What you're actually asking about is Line vs Form.
Comic artist use line to illustrate the outline of objects
form is full on illusion of 3d by using shading.
Comics and cartoons dont have time to shade everything, so they never practice form, so their paintings off.

I think you always have to draw with form no matter what

>can they?
Sure
>will they be automatically great at it?
Not necessarily

A lot of people seem to forget that comics are a story medium first and foremost. You can draw beautiful, amazingly rendered pages that are still shit because people can barely read and/or understand them.

I strongly prefer weaker artists with excellent sequential language skills to wonderful artists with no understanding of it.

Comic is always about storytellling, period.

They definitely can. Dave Rapoza worked as an illustrator and concept artist for years before he decided to change styles and focus on drawing instead of a painting and he's doing mainly comics now. Frank Frazetta worked as a funny animal comic artist at one point in his career.

You’re mistaking construction memery with actual form through value.
