Five on your six.

More response to readings.

Chapter five, line quality.

This was pretty straight forward to me.

I read many webcomcis everyday and each day I get to see a creator use lines to convey whatever meaning they seek to.

Each style is indicative of something.

Some more successful than others, but you get the idea.

The many examples of different line quality, that run right along side the text, help emphasis the range of emotions you can get.

And all through sight. Crazy.

My drawing teacher, back at moorpark, always told us that line quality is one of the deciding factors in how your drawings turn out.

Most of all, he emphasized varied line quality (in that the lines changed and breathed as they moved along the page.)

It's neat to see it explained in detail.

As for chapter six.

Storytelling.

Or how to do the "show and tell" that comics, pictures and anything that is told through sight really, does.

The various styles listed were familiar.

I'm glad I have names to put them to now.

Word specific, Picture specific, Duo specific, Additive, Parallel, Montage and Interdependent.

All that.

It's nice to put a name to a face.

Metaphorically.

Here are some interesting examples to contrast.

Comic wise.
