***UPDATE! Free ticket slots are now being filled up, so y'all better get moving on those portfolios!
Here are some tips that might help you get started:
- Have an idea of what the best sale-able illustration styles look like right now, just drop by your local comic shop and check out their top selling comics and manga titles.
- Visual storytelling is also important, the reason why we require sequential art is to see how good you storytelling chops are.
- A good breakdown for your portfolio would be two of your best styles each composed of four sequential pages and a cover, if you have more styles feel free to showcase them, too.
- Use recognizable and familiar characters, editors might not be familiar with your own original characters. - Have variety in your portfolio, you can have one set of four pages as an action sequence to show you can do fight scenes while the other set can show characters talking and interacting with each other to show you can do facial expressions, gestures and body language.
- Do several layouts for the pages first so you can keep revising them until you're satisfied before you actually start drawing, this is to avoid having to keep redrawing when you find mistakes.
Hope that helps! Have fun! ;D
