Comics - Learning from Starcraft: Method Basics

Jan 21, 2011 02:02


Wei and I are huge fans of Day[9] and his daily cast of Starcraft replays and strategies. Much like good little comic artists, we couldn’t help but think of how these wonderfully laid out methods could translate to our medium and how they could be used to help artists work through some of their more difficult patches.

In our first video we’re looking at why Starcraft and what it has to offer in terms of basic methods. Two things you should draw from this discussion: you should be analysing, and refine, refine, refine your work!

We will be doing weekly casts (sometimes with Wei and sometimes only myself) on comics, storytelling, art and general interest every Thursday at 7Pm PST on my ustream. If you miss it, not to worry, I will be recording and posting all of our videos here for your viewing pleasure. If there is anything in particular you would like to see, or have work that you would like analysed on air, feel free to leave us a comment here or send us an email!

I’ll be posting these videos in sequence over the next couple of days, if you’d like to jump into all of them right now the series playlist is on youtube! I hope you like it!
