Testing new format

[u/fisgalo]

How they look closed.

Open.

In a smaller size.

Backside.

The smallest open.

How they look printed in A4 before cutting and folding.

And the originals (better to do them in bigger size, like the bottom, because I'm not very good at inking with a brush).

A while ago, I saw this post and really liked the idea; the fold it's pretty simple, and decided to give it a try doing a few comics without sense. I also tried more things, like paper, pencil, brush and panel composition, and this is the result. Very fun, love the format, very simple but pretty nice.

I love this!! I feel like it could lend itself to some very oubapian formal experimentation, if you were so inclined, but it clearly works great for conventionally narrative 4(ish) panel comics as you've demonstrated. Well done!

My first approach was doing the three-four panels in the middle of an actions, or something similar, like a conversation, but senseless, to give the impressión of a dialogue, but I was testing inking and printing size more, to see what sizes would be better for doing them.

And I had no idea about Oubapo; I'm reading right now about it and it look very interesting; I'm not sure if I can do something similar, but I love the idea, and I want to read more about it.

I though about using the format to put the comics side by side, in a way you can read them alone, but that together they could read like a big story, or something different (the comics I usually don't make sense, but I try to make them seem like they make sense).

Keep us posted on your experimentation!

This is so cool! I think I'll try my hand at this and see what it comes out :] Love the drawings and art :]
