HOW TO DRAW MANGA: STORY BOARD
Manga Art Boards Questions
Does anyone else really just not like comics/graphic-novels/manga?
I don’t know what it is about them. Maybe it’s the art style, the retarded one-liner quips, the fact that the characters are card-board cutouts and have overly simple and childish plot lines, or maybe because I don’t like playing “I SPY” with the speech bubbles. Back and forth, up and down, here and there, 3 words per line. It gives me a headache.
People say “Oh man, read like… Watchmen, or V For Vendetta! Wait, read The Dark Knight! If you don’t like those… you’re crazy!” Yeah, well.. I read them. None of them beats… say, I don’t know… books without pictures.
Call me nuts, but I feel like when I read these things, it’s like I’m punishing my eyes and my brain.
I don’t particularly like them. I can flick through one and appreciate the art (well, actually, if it’s manga I don’t even appreciate the art, to be honest) but even when they’re cleverly-written, I really don’t engage with them in anything like the way I engage with an actual novel.
Each to their own, obviously; I don’t think there’s anything wrong with liking them. But they do very little for me, I must say.
Ironically, my first really serious boyfriend when I was about 17 was a professional comic book artist (and indeed he still is, apparently). All my friends thought that was incredibly cool, but it was all kind of wasted on me, LOL!
