COMICS:Suggestions on getting started learning the craft There are a number of separate crafts at work in comics. The skillful depiction of form in space, or "drawing;" the manipulation of elements in a picture to communicate content, or "illustration;" and the juxtaposition of pictures to create a narrative, or "sequential storytelling." Since drawing is primary, work on that first. Get a sketchbook and see if you find drawing pleasurable. While it seems as though it should be unmitigated bliss, not everyone, in fact, enjoys spending long hours wrestling their brain into finding ways to express the seeing of specific three dimensional objects by means of a series of two-dimensional marks on paper. It isn't for everyone. storyboards
