How to make the audience "feel" the story while they are "reading" the story. Using his experiences from working in the comic book industry, movie studios and teaching, Marcos introduces the reader to a step-by-step system that will create the most successful storyboards and graphics for the best visual communication. After a brief discussion on narrative art, Marcos introduces us to drawing and composing a single image, to composing steady shots to drawing to compose for continuity between all the shots. These lessons are then applied to three diverse story lines - a train accident, a cowboy tale and bikers approaching a mysterious house. In addition to setting up the shots, he also explains and illustrates visual character development, emotive stances and expressions along with development of the environmental setting to fully develop the visual narrative. Review: A Definitive Guide for Visual Artists - Rarely does a book pack so much knowledge with such spot-on examples. A must-have for illustrators and comic book enthusiasts. Review: Visual Storytellers, Go for it! - I had been in two minds about purchasing this book for a long time, but I finally bought it after a bit of research online. The book is broadly divided into five parts: 1)general thought on narrative arts 2)drawing and composing a single image 3)composing shots with a purpose (stills and motion) 4)composing for continuity 5)the graphic novel All the chapters cover the basics of storytelling at each level. It's an excellent book for someone who is looking to start in visual storytelling mediums like comic books and even a bit of storyboarding. The author Marcos Mateu does an impressive job of tackling such a tough to teach subject in the most convenient manner. Shows a real mastery of hia skill. The images inside are beautifully illustrated in black and white inks. The print quality is really good. Overall a good value for money. desertcartas always did a good job of timely delivery and good packaging. ## Features - Design Studio Press ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #31,167 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #51 in Theater & Ballet #97 in Cinema & Broadcast (Books) #124 in Design & Fashion (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,286 Reviews | ## Images ![Framed Ink: Drawing and Composition for Visual Storytellers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EQmhEuvNS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Definitive Guide for Visual Artists *by H***H on 25 December 2025* Rarely does a book pack so much knowledge with such spot-on examples.
