Andy's Exemplary Art


  • Exciting
    • Variety...
      • ...in figure size
      • ..in tightness/looseness of cropping
      • one open panel (no borders)
    • Diagonals for energy!
    • Energetic, jazzy, confident inking! Non-fussy!
  • Clarity
    • Clean silhouettes, minimal BGs
    • Action cropped just close enough--art "breathes"
    • Staging is consistent--reader doesn't lose their place in the action. (Monster keeps coming in from left, robot from right)
    • Robot who comes in to save the day is established in first panel, so it doesn't seem he's coming out of nowhere.
    • Consistent light direction, bold shadows make characters "read" as physical objects in space
