Hi. I'm doing a comic and got to the point where i want to do a 2 page spread for a major epic shot. How many pages do I actually use. One normal size page and just use it horizontaly, landscape way. Or do I use 2 full pages, linked them and draw with a gap in the middle?

Thankyou. I am glad you put these videos up. I am trying to create a comic series that will be going online once I have drawn some of the story line. :) The only problem is, I don't know crap about photoshop, my work with drawing with my bamboo pen and touch is awkward, and most of my storyline is in my head. So THANKS. :)

I have created a Master Template in Photoshop using the instructions in your book. How would you modify this Master Template, perhaps to create an entirely new one for this purpose, to create a two page spread that would still print to the 11x17? Would you cut the boards, scan them in and then create it from there? Or merge copies of the master together in Photoshop? Thanks for your time and the book I have really learned a lot from it and your videos. Thanks.

Hello,

I wanted to see if you have a way to show how you put your backgrounds and cityscapes together digitally. This is my major weakness and any advice or tutorials would be greatly appreciated. I have read your book(awesome by the way) and have attempted several of the background and perspextive techiques but am not have great success. any advice?

Freddie, Thanks for always giving so much effort helping and giving advice to young artists! Your book and your art are awesome. I want to work in comics, but I'm worried about supporting a family. How much on average do working artists make a year? Not just page rate but average year salary. I know it varies, but how much with a contract can i hope to make? Hope this isn't too personal but no one talks about this and I want to know before I quit my job and try to make a go of it. Thx again!

keep these coming bro

what's splash art?

[FreddieArtMedia]

Splash art: Usually a single image occupying the entire page - similar to a cover.

Editor's are sometimes put off by a portfolio containing multiple covers and splash pages, as it may indicate the artist does not have much sequential art experience, which is a big red flag.

Thank you for your question
