[@jimchadwick2738]

This is great, Elsa. There's not enough of this level of analysis available for aspiring artists.

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Thank you so much, Jim!

[@akwilson1676]

Aja is a goddamn genius. Like I've read Hawkeye so many times and still pick up something new every time.

[@danitieneiutub]

David Aja's Hawkeye is my favorite and I love this analysis! Thank you!

[@kaiwilliams141]

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

[@chrism70kc]

I'd love a breakdown of something from David Mazzucchelli (Daredevil, Batman: Year One, Asterios Polyp, etc.)

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Then...keep your eyes peeled ;)

[@gabvillagepanda]

I was redirected to this from Panel to Pixels’ video about comic book KZbinrs to watch. I hope you take this as an encouraging sign to do this again soon. 🙂

[@rajdeepsingha3523]

me too

[@EduardoCastro-vg6tr]

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

[@mikebennewitz]

Excellent. Cracking up at “Bros”

[@cryinginmybajablast]

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.

[@jschiek8054]

Fantastic video! I subscribed less than 90 seconds in and will be recommending your channel to my drawing students.

[@Nullone36]

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!!

[@DforDembol]

Maybe some stuff by Chris Samnee or Mike Mignola? I really like their compositions. Or Bill Sienkiewicz for something dramatically different :D

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

You betcha! Love their work

[@albineeien6300]

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*

[@daem0nfaust]

New subscriber here, better late than never, I guess. I'm glad to have found this video, great way to learn how to problem-solve a scene. Thank you.

[@HeroesReforged]

Elsa, this was so incredibly insightful, beautifully broken down, shot and edited so well. SUBSCRIBED!

[@HeroesReforged]

Invincible might be a good one to tackle with the show currently running and those books selling incredibly well.

[@billandzoey]

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.

[@hauntedcastillo5055]

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

[@Chandasouk]

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.

[@DocGeraud]

Excellente vidéo, c'est incroyablement propre et bien expliqué ! Je m'abonne alors que je suis même pas lecteur de comics. Merci pour ce travail 😊

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Merci ! Attends quelques épisodes et tu seras converti ;)

[@wallrider73]

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.

[@rafaelbrandao4059]

I am never not ready for more Hawkguy content.

[@SatrnOne]

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.

[@vidaenagonia-cl]

I'll love to see some Jaime Hernandez! he is such an under appreciated master of cartoon expresionism and his art deserves to be analyzed in detail ;D

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Indeed! If you haven’t seen it, Hassan has a great analysis of Hernandez’s cartooning on his Strip Panel Naked channel.

[@lucasdotart]

This is gold! Amazing breakdowns, Elsa! I like how you make it easy to understand. Thank you! :)

[@benmurphy6753]

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

[@ximofenollosa175]

Wow! Great job both the artist and you!

[@mnm25chango2]

Gosh. Elsa, you are the best - thanks for these videos!!!!

[@hadhayosh5105]

I'm hoping that this is just the first of many because I love it. High quality analysis is hard to find by people who actually know about the medium.

[@porassrivastava8242]

It's so cool that THIS much detail and thought goes into a single page of a comic.

[@middenway]

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.

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Great suggestion, I love his work too!

[@nickdutton6218]

This is absolutely amazing, thank you so much for these videos! I just found your channel and I'm going to binge on them tomorrow

[@Dennisdarby660]

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.

[@rlblackink]

So impressed with your work on these videos. Very inspiring and thought provoking.

[@joeganzy9816]

Your analysis is incredible. I’m new to your page and I hope you make it around to doing some more of these they’re world class

[@djlegaspi7691]

Hey Elsa, I love your work & this channel is great! Looking forward to more content.

[@robmcdonald4396]

This is absolutely amazing. Brings a whole new appreciation to art.

[@sneekopotamus]

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!

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Thank you so much!

[@YaleStewartArt]

This was fantastic. Olivier Coipel, James Harren, JRJR, Kate Beaton all come to mind as recommendations/requests. Look forward to your next video!

[@guillaumefiguier759]

Très intéressant et instructif! Merci Elsa

[@Berliozboy]

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!

[@michaelavolio]

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...

[@trevorpearlharbor5171]

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!

[@jimmcdermott170]

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.

[@mjperljam]

This series and Strip Panel Naked really help me understand how comics work.

[@rayday2521]

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).

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

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!

[@rayday2521]

@@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!)

[@greensnake2579]

Passionnant ! Merci pour les sous-titres en français !

[@jeankak776]

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!

[@nicholassmith4900]

Elsa, you have to come back to KZbin. These videos are amazing!

[@nonuse8666]

Fascinating! Thanks so much Elsa!

[@osohista]

great video. sure wish I watched this before I drew... four grahic novels. just winging it and hoping for the best.

[@ericborja4666]

This analysis is amazing and it legit has changed the way I look at panels while I read now. Can't wait for more content!

[@VayMatt]

I'm re-reading JH Williams Batwoman and the panel compositions in his books are so wild. Definitely one to check out in the future

[@jonathanchao5662]

I loved this a lot! I’d really like to see you analyze any of Otto Schmidt’s work, he’s a favorite of mine in the comics world! :)

[@LuisGodoyIIArt]

As a new artist/writer, I've been looking for someone to do this level of analysis on a comic page. Thank you Elsa

[@rrod1392]

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.

[@hb818283]

Lovely video! You are a great teacher.

[@DsComicColours]

Great video and channel, Elsa!

[@raulrivas9963]

Now this is a true lesson! Perfectly explained

[@WaltsComicBookChannel]

Amazing vid! Congrats on the content, flow and beauty of it. This is the future of comic vids!

[@d3nd3nd3nd3n]

Excellent! Great info and expertly presented - really looking forward to future videos from you! =)

[@robinnegre5139]

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 !

[@adikczk7548]

Amazing ! I just love it! It shows how much of a workaholic you’re ! Can’t wait to see more !

[@IsamotKol]

Loved this! Would love to see more breakdowns of comic art!

[@hunterdelaneycomics]

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!

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

We’ve got something reeeeally special planned for the Parker series :)

[@ishallcallitthisland2738]

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?

[@gadspain]

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

[@benlundsten5960]

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.

[@Theo_Sacha]

Wow, c’était incroyable, merci.

[@Cluis.]

This is a great video and really helpful! Thank you!

[@eonprez]

Great production quality and even better content! Can't wait to see more.

[@heatherantos6661]

This is brilliant, Elsa! Can't wait for more!

[@Leave_Angry]

You've quickly become one of my favorite illustrators, and I am extremely stoked for this series. Keep up the great work!

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Thank you so much!

[@debanshmishra7154]

This was amazing!! Thank you so much! Incredibly informative and entertaining, keep it up!

[@sindri1610]

Amazing video, such a great analyse, and your explanations are soooo clear and so visual ! Awesome work ! On the comic panel construction and dynamism, I love the work of wes craig on Deadly Class, and I’ve already heard you talk about it on First Print podcast. Keep it up, it’s incredible, I can’t wait for other videos

[@karmickoala642]

Damn bro, straight to marker bro. Nailed it too. Very cool video, looking forward to more!

[@BenzoMerranzan]

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.

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

I watched Gaiman’s masterclass too, loved it. I would have loved to see him go into more details about his writing approach for comics, though!

[@visionisclouded]

Great video!! So happy you used Hawkguy as an example!

[@ottebya]

would be cool to hear you analyze something from Jean Paul Leon's Earth-X pages, some sweet stuff in there

[@labaldadecomics]

This video is incredible, thank you! I love Mike Allred’s work, could it be possible to analyzed any of his pannels? Doesn’t matter the comic, love all of him.

[@thibaultmortier2725]

Merci c'est passionnant, vivement la prochaine ! Et merci Arno pour les sous-titres

[@Berliozboy]

Would love to see a Darwyn Cooke panel analyzed to continue with artists who are great with using blacks to create depth and drama

[@phelipegoncalves9355]

Congratulations on this amazing video! My recommendation would be Uncanny X-Men 133, any of the pages that Wolverine fights the Hellfire Club guards!

[@MikeLogsdonAlso]

Wow. Fantastic breakdown! As someone who is just getting started I know I’ll follow your channel very closely for more amazing insights. Thanks for all the work you’ve put into this and the incredible depth you’ve presented us with. As for a suggested topic, I’d love to see you explore some action sequences in Invincible.

[@meags2393]

This was amazing!! Can't wait for more!

[@jackreickel]

Great video! Love the concept and really impressed by the execution--great production values especially for a first episode! Exemplary!

Super intéressant ! Je pense que Chris Samnee mérite d'être analysé également.

[@alextasis88]

Excellent video, thank you so much for sharing this content! greetings from Perú!

[@officialgoogleyoutube]

If it's something you're interested in, I would LOVE to see a look at something by Hugo Pratt. But whatever you do, I'm excited for it.

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

I saw a Pratt exhibit in Paris right when I was starting out, and it left a huge impression on me. I’ll definitely keep your suggestion in mind!

[@thesun564]

Why is this so awesome?

[@edmonddantesque2041]

C'était parfait. Très didactique. Je m'abonne

[@republ33k]

Such a cool idea, and what an example to kick off the channel! Best of luck!

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Merci Thibaut!

[@vinodabcd]

Fantastic breakdown!

[@drskelebone]

Subscribed, so time to look through the archives to see if there are any Squirrel Girl/Honey Badger/Patsy Walker videos. :D

[@Ted-Kendrick]

Love this! Since you asked for the future, I’d love to see panel analysis from Darwyn Cooke’s “DC: The New Frontier” or Bruce Timm’s “Batman: Mad Love” since I can totally see some of their influence in your own work. Looking forward to cracking open my copy of November vol. 4 real soon!

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Oh, most definitely! The new Frontier and Mad Love are among my all time favorites, so I'm definitely adding them to the list!

[@reyzorlramon]

Can't wait for more content like this from you. Learned so much!

[@yannisdim.4924]

That was very helpful! Do you have any suggestions on books (or any kind of resources) on page layout and/or page composition?
