The role of penciller formed from the Studio habits of early comic book production. To achieve a fast turn-around time in the production of comic strips and comic books, the production of the art was split between artists. In today's market the penciller typically receives a script by a Writer , from the comic book's editor. This script can be a complete, elaborate and lengthy outline of each page; alternatively, it may be a plot outline consisting of no more than a short overview of key scenes with little or no dialogue. Sometimes a writer will include their own drawn layouts, called Breakdown s, to assist the penciller in scene composition. If no breakdowns are included, then it falls to the penciller to determine the layout of each page, including the number of panels, their shapes and their positions; although this is sometimes indicated by a script, a penciller may feel when drawing the scene that there is a different way of composing the scene, and may disregard the script, usually following consultation with the editor and/or writer. Typically, the penciller draws on a large sheet of paper, usually Bristol Board , using pencil, often a blue pencil that will not photocopy on black and white copiers. |
