Oh my goodness! This is amazing. Seeing an artist break down why another artist's art works really helps to see why all comic artists are such incredible storytellers
I was redirected to this from Panel to Pixels’ video about comic book RU-vidrs to watch. I hope you take this as an encouraging sign to do this again soon. 🙂
i’ve never learned so many useful things about comics like i had the last hour digging through your channel… i’m pretty hyped about going back to the board rn
Moi : *lit peu de comics, pas forcément intéressée par le genre* Elsa : *explique des choses sur la composition d'une page de comic* Moi : *subitement très intéressée*
Hi. I am from Pakistan and and I have always been fascinated with comics and hawkeye is among my top 10. Your analysis is very helpful. I am very grateful to you for this.
Nice job! I did an analysis and presentation on Hawkeye too for one of my finals a few years ago. I did the page where he used the Electro-arrow in "Cherry" though.
Another lefty!!! So far your videos have been very educational. I want to take art from a hobby to a career. I worked a job for 20 years and after the pandemic everything fell apart. So now at 40 i decided that if I’m going to start a new career and it better be something i really want to do. Your story is very inspiring. Thank you!!
More analysis videos please ! Artists speaking critically about sequential art are criminally rare on this platform, the production quality and editing were also top notch. Keep up the great work! This was an instant subscription
Incredible! I just watched the Chernobyl and Reservoir Dogs clips too. Inject this stuff straight into my veins. The way you break down the storytelling aspect of comics is amazing. I would love to see you do more of these. Chris Samnee and Jorge Jimenez are two artists I think are good at visual storytelling although I'm sure you have a long list queued up already.
I found this really helpful! Maybe look at some Daredevil pages from Marco Checchetto next? His pages are so good and I think a break down of them would be really interesting
Super cool vid! Can't think of a conversation about page design without mentioning JH Williams III. Have also been rereading Concrete by Paul Chadwick. I knew it was thoughtful and fun but I can't believe I slept on how great his page designs are.
I'd love to see you breakdown some of Tonci Zonjic's work, especially his stuff in Skulldigger + Skeleton Boy. That series has some fantastic page layouts.
My first introduction to your art was on Starfire and you gave me some Darwyn Cooke vibes! Thanks for giving us an education. Hearing creators talk about why certain things work is eye opening.
I love content like this. When reading a comic (most of the time) it just flows, but I appreciate it more knowing how much consideration was put into making it so effortless.
Such a great first episode! Excited to see this series develop. Case Study recommendation: the 15-grid page in Afterlife with Archie #4, (art work by Francesco Francavilla).
Oh! I actually did some personal study to figure out balance of black & white on that series. (I believe there's some on my pinned Insta stories) I love Francesco's work!
@@ElsaCharretierChannel Will def check out your Insta for that story -- would love to see your study on that. Ty for the heads up! :) (Francavilla is amazing; would love to see any case study you do on him!)
This was fantastic! I've been reading comics for 40 years and I learned so much. Please make a million more. I'd love to see something about Alan Davis. His work is my fave. Keep up the good work!
Really enjoy this and thanks so much for sharing! I’d say it would be really interesting to see you dissect something from the almighty Darwyn Cooke maybe from his Parker Series! Thanks again for this!
Amazing choice of panel for your first in the series. Aja's work on this comic is absolutely incredible. Thanks for helping me appreciate it on a deeper level!
This is fantastic. Thank you, Elsa. Love to hear you talk about Javier Rodriguez' work at some point, like his stuff on Dr. Strange and the Sorcerers' Supreme.
This was great! As a companion to this video, what about analyzing a panel that does NOT do a good job of creating flow, with suggestions as to how it could be improved?
This is incredibly instructive. I am slowly teaching myself how to draw and this has to be one of the most useful video I have seen, to create a composition. Thank you!
This is seriously getting me back to drawing comics! Love the analysis! And study page layouts this way is good practice! More comics artists should do it!
Hello Elsa, superbe première vidéo, encore bravo. Je viens de penser à un artiste en particulier : Alex Maleev et son travail sur la série Daredevil avec Brian Bendis au scénario. Il a un découpage et des compositions vraiment incroyables à chaque fois, ça serait passionnant de voir une analyse sur son travail. Encore félicitations pour ce lancement, très hâte de voir la suite !
This is an amazing video that I greatly appreciate. This is the type of stuff that makes the art side of comics so special. And as 30+ year comic book reader and an art school dropout, while I understand these concepts and am aware of them they are such an implicit part of my comic book reading habit that I often can take them for granted, so it is nice to see such a well done and concise explanation as a reminder. Thank you.
Cool to get a close examination of a single panel like this. I notice the one playing card that breaks the panel border also helps to add depth. It'd be great to get more looks back at the panel or page you're discussing in future videos while you're diagramming it, since it can be hard to remember or visualize the original when not seeing it on our screen. Very clear teaching style. I'm looking forward to your making-of type stuff on November from the Kickstarter! I don't have any specific suggestions on pages or panels to look at, but there's loads of worthwhile stuff in the art of Alex Toth, Jaime Hernandez, Mike Mignola, Chris Ware, Rutu Modan, Paul Grist, Osamu Tezuka, Moebius, Charles Burns, Eleanor Davis, Hugo Pratt, Bill Watterson, Eddie Campbell, David Mazzucchelli, Tillie Walden, Jim Woodring, Jason, Lewis Trondheim, Sergio Toppi, Frank Miller, Dave Gibbons, Jacques Tardi, José Muñoz, Taiyo Matsumoto, Dino Battaglia, Alberto Breccia, etc...
Une surprise qui fait plaisir ! Je suis depuis quelques années très intéressé par le contenu traitant de BD/composition (Strip Panel Naked, Comic book girl 19, Northern Rufio pour parler que de YT) et je peux sincèrement dire que ce que tu proposes est de très grande qualité dès le 1er épisode c'est assez bluffant. Avoir le point de vue direct d'une artiste analysant le travail d'autres est une mine d'or en terme d'informations. Pratique, inspirant même pour ceux qui cherchent à exprimer leurs passion pour l'art séquentiel d'une façon ou d'une autre (spoiler: moi). Pour parler planche, ça serait top d'avoir ton point de vue sur le boulot de Sean Phillips (Kill or be Killed - Issue #10) ou Wes Craig (Deadly Class - Issue #26)

Super intéressant ! Je pense que Chris Samnee mérite d'être analysé également.
Love this! I’d love to see something on breaking down your process. What materials you use for roughs and final pieces and what that evolution looks like. Also where you get ideas for your excellent compositions.
Thank for this video! I would like to ask the difference that you make between the flow of the reader et the flow intended by the author. It's maybe my fault, but in this video, I didn't know exactly if you talked more about the picture's composition or more about the "reader flow". Because, when I hear people talking about flow in comics, I always see that like a "fantasy vision" of the reader's reality. I think that the reading of a picture (and even more in a comics) is rarely that fluid. There is the intention of the author and his work of composition, and then, there is the reader's eye which is very erratic (and can be different for each reader). I don't say there is no order in a page/panel in a comic, of course, the "comics language code" structure the reading, but as a reader, I can sometimes completely ignore (not on purpose) the author's intention. I can read too fastly a picture, reading at first the last panel, going back and forth in a panel in a very eratic way, ect. (Sorry for my English and thank you again for your work) EDIT: I think that in the introduction, you're talking about the "reader flow" and after in the video, you're talking about the "intended flow of the author", and I think it's important to differentiate those two concepts.
This video is awesome!! The way you explain, how it is filmed, everything. Congrats for this! Cant wait to see more videos like this, somepages from Quitely, Samnee or Declan Shalvey would be great
This was splendid. Magnifique! I'm watching a MasterClass with Neil Gaiman, and this has the same integrity of presentation and information. Thank you very much for doing this, and I'll look forward to developing my comics illustrating skills with more videos.
