Joe Kubert Talks Digital Comics

[@devilson14321]

love this guy, nothing beats pencil on paper and having a book in your hand

[@loringbush3319]

I still pencil and ink the Joe Kubert way. The heck with your computers!

[@claytonbouldin9381]

I spend $699.00 on a Cintiq Pro 16 and hardly use it. Nothing beats Bristol Board, pencils, eraser and a set of Windsor-Newton markers. I do color a lot on a computer as Joe does, but I still use my mouse. The Cintiq is leaning up against the wall with an inch of dust on it.

I'm resisting using Bristol board, but mostly because I'm keen to composite the final pages on the computer, not because I'm drawing in digital(like Joe says, it just isn't pleasant - the computer lags a little behind the pen and reinterprets everything I'm doing). I don't even want to do digital color, I'm settling on a little treatment with Tombow Dual Brush in monochrome. Crescent Rendr is the paper I'm settling on - smooth enough, erases well, it lets me work in a square 8"x8" sketchbook format which I like(easy to do detailed panels and pasteups), and the sheets are a patented glue sandwich of paper-plastic-paper, so it's pretty rigid and the plastic blocks any bleed or see-through, which is a nice convenience.

I have to say that I am personally really excited about the possibilities of digital comics. Not just translating the print experience to an iPad, but something unique to the format.

If I only could've met this guy before he passed away, I may have had a lot to get. He'll be missed by many fans.

[@thecomicarchive]

Sorry I didn't get to this sooner but were you ever able to hear this? It's playing fine on my end.

[@hulksmash075]

very wise

[@catfishvega3728]

I have crates of comic books that I don’t read anymore. For some reason I really enjoy reading comics on my tablet right now. Maybe later I’ll want to go back to paper.

Nothing better on paper

[@1luarluar1]

doing comics with computer is fine, but I will never read a comic made in this way, the real ink and paper have nuances that cannot be reproduced....so why using the computer...same thing is for movies that use CGI....practical effects are unbeatable.

I can see colorizing get done mostly on a computer after the actual artwork is done, however "everything " done on a computer?? That's just self masturbation !
