Illustration Research: The Walking Dead

The walking dead is a black on white comic book based on a group of survivors in an dilapidated world which has become overrun by the 'the walking dead' AKA zombies.

From what I have gathered by looking at pictures from Google the actual layout is quite simple with just the page separated in to rectangles. The dialogue is fitted into ordinary circular speech bubbles with the occasional onomatopoeia in stylised font.

These two pictures were taken from a website where the Artist for the walking dead wrote about the technique he uses to create the graphics. It's states he reads the script he is sent and the draws pictures which he feels depicts this. He draws the comic the same size as it would be printed. He doesn't do thumbnail sketchers as he finds his initial ideas is nearly always the best.

He starts off by simply drawing with a pencil the graphics

And then inks in the black.

And it's goes to printing.Simple.
