Francis Manapul, THE FLASH artist and co-writer, shares his step-by-step process for a teaser image he created. The first 3 steps incorporate never-before-seen art from next month's issue #3. And in the last step, you can see how Francis manipulated the image for the DC Comics-The New 52 Art Tour. Enjoy! I don't really have a design background. But I am a fan of bold and graphic images. Something about a simple well thought out composition just speaks to me, more so than a detailed drawing. If you've been following any of the new images released for The Flash, I'm sure you've noticed that I've started playing around with my composition and even started dabbling with typography. However when it came to designing this, it really was just dumb luck. I'm a huge, HUGE, Will Eisner fan. He was an absolute genius. Inspired by him I wanted to create pages that not only told a story, but also worked as a title page. So playing around with the composition, and typography I started with a layout.
After the layout stage, I illustrated the page using traditional mediums (brushes, ink, and watercolor).
