Sequential Art
Comics (or, less commonly, sequential art)
is a form of visual art consisting of images which are commonly
combined with text, often in the form of speech balloons or
image captions. Originally used to illustrate caricatures
and to entertain through the use of amusing and trivial stories,
it has by now evolved into a literary medium with many subgenres.
The most common forms of printed comics
are comic strips in newspapers and magazines, and longer comic
stories in comic books, graphic novels and comic albums. In
the first two forms the comics are secondary material usually
confined to the entertainment sections, while the latter consist
either entirely or primarily of comics.
Comics artists will generally sketch a drawing
in pencil before going over the drawing again in ink, using
either a dip pen or a brush. Artists will also make use of
a lightbox when creating the final image in ink. Some artists,
are now using digital means to create artwork, with the published
work being the first physical appearance of the artwork.
