CTID: CHANGING STYLES

”When a comic artist makes a lot of comics, they mostly get better at it and often their art style changes.” //
”You can see it in Asterix comics, for example. In the first album, Uderzo’s drawing style is very different than in the last.” //
”Even in my blog the style has changed over the years. Luckily!” //
”I say luckily because it’s a sign that I have developed. Changing styles become a problem if it happens in the middle of the story.” //
”Especially sudden, not plot-related changes in the art style confuse the reader. Unless it is used a short-term effect.” //
”The Tex Willer artist Fabio Civitelli has said that he draws long stories by beginning at the end, drawing backwards to the midpoint and then taking it up from the beginning and drawing again to the middle. This is so that the style in the beginning and in the end would be as close to each other as possible.” //
”It is important for every artist to develop and try new stuff… but let’s not sacrifice the comic or the reader to this change!”
