Comics & Illustration

Leo Hartas and Comic Illustration

Use the subject of comic illustration to explore character, setting, and the demands of a readable sequence. These study questions focus on the work's visible decisions rather than supplying an interview transcript.

Read the acting

Look at how posture and facial expression carry an action across panels. Ask whether the character remains recognisable while responding to different situations.

Examine the environment

A setting should support both atmosphere and spatial continuity. Compare repeated landmarks and changing viewpoints to see how the reader is kept oriented.

Turn reading into a study

Draw a short silent sequence with a clear action. Compare it with your initial plan and identify one panel whose framing could communicate more efficiently.
