Watchers

I just wanted to hype something this time around.

Frank Dawson Jr :iconfrankdawsonjr: has posted six sequential pages and a credits page from his personal project, THE HAWTHORNE CHRONICLES. THE HAWTHORNE CHRONICLES is set in 1936, just before the Olympic Games, and is a pulp-adventure comic that features  adventurers James Hawthorne and John Eagle Eye, a Native American who's deadly with a bow. This is something of a learning experiment for Frank, who hasn't done a lot sequential art in the past. I think that Frank is pushing himself to do his best artwork to date, and he's working to continue to improve his skills as a sequential artist.  I hope you will check out his efforts, and give him some encouragement. Sequential art isn't easy, folks.

The pencils, inks, and lettering are provided by Frank, with Craig Russette :iconcwilliamrussette: providing the dialogue, and I :iconlostonwallace: was happy to pitch in a little too, adding some gray tones to the pages. If you get a chance, please check out the pages  in Frank's gallery, and give Frank and Craig some feedback. I'm sure they'd both love to hear from you! And, if you like what I did with the gray toning, please let me know!

Here's hoping Frank will continue to produce more pages for THE HAWTHORNE CHRONICLES!

hey loston, i have a small question and a big favor to ask... can you show me a "quick rule of thumb" about perspective? Like, when you have a fence in single point perspective, how do you know how far apart to put the posts to make the uniform looking?

if there's some pdf or pic that you know about online it would be appreciated. :)

Sure. Take a look at this: [link] You'll find three tiers of images.

Tier #1: On the lefthand side of the top tier is a fence with some horizontal lines (representing boards, rows of bricks or whatever). On the righthand side of the tier we see the same fence (wall) drawn in perspective.

Tier #2: Now we draw a diagonal line from corner to corner of the fence on the left, and the same for the fence on the right.

Tier #3: Where ever the diagonal line touches a horizontal line, you can place a vertical line, and that's how you can determine the spaces for posts, etc.

I can't believe I had to read this 3 times before I understood it. But now I do perfectly. Thank you. I knew asking you would be the right way to go. :) thanks a ton, sir.
