Guiding the reader's eye...
Added 2024-01-03 09:32:31 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
Just a quick thought on Kentamaru's question on the last post:
Tips on creating the flow of the page?
I'd say, try to draw a line (in your head) from the start of the page to the end going through all the panels and all the actions as if you're reading it.
Making sure it makes sense and the reader isn't lost at any moment.
Making character poking out of the panel into the previous panel is a good strategy to guide the reader ( Emma's head poking into panel 1 to bring your attention).
The basic and most important idea is making the page simple to read.
I know it's always cool to innovate and make dynamic panel compositions, but always keep in mind it must be easy to read, SUPER easy to read.
You never want the reader wondering if he's reading the panels in the correct order.
