Free UK delivery on eligible orders. Review: A MUST! - This book is a must! Unless you want to keep doing every stage of a comic book in the old-fashioned/traditional way, you must have this book. Many books promising to reveal all the knowledge about this or that - but many times I find that "Yeah, I can take some knowledge out of it... like 15% or something... all the rest is just useless..." - but not this one: Freddie E. Williams II just opens a golden door to deep knowledge. From creating folder trees to comics templates, different workflows and how to incorporate them, tips on scanning, tips on rendering, tips on Photoshop ( the layer template for each comic page is great - I use it and works like charm for me ) . I even got the will to try a full digital workflow BECAUSE of this book. I love pencils, so I'm following the "Pencil hybrid workflow" but I'm trying to find a project that allows me to try the full digital. All its there, I think this is the best book on the subject. The title says what you will find inside - unlike The DC Comics Guide to Pencilling Comics (Freddie recommends this one at some point..) but I found that one really disappointing... "The DC Comics Guide to Digitally Drawing Comics" is by far the best book I've read (and continuously keep reading) on the subject! 10 start! Oh damit... only 5 allowed! Review: For Photoshop, non-beginners... 5 stars. - The book focuses on the method of producing a digital comic book rather than drawing techniques. There are lots of other 'How to draw' books to help depending on what style you want to use. The tips, tricks and digital/pencil hybrid processes are brilliant and explained superbly. The underlying techniques can be used with other image software but the book relates to Photoshop. It's not the magic key for producing digital comics (if there is one I'd like a link to it please) but it will put you in a much better position to create good-looking comics quicker. The book is aimed quite high so beginner's might struggle although it might teach good habits sooner. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0823099237 | | Best Sellers Rank | 648,470 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 102 in How to Create Comics 382 in Figure Drawing 444 in Digital Art | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (227) | | Dimensions | 19.3 x 1.02 x 26.67 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 9780823099238 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0823099238 | | Item weight | 522 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | 1 Jan. 2009 | | Publisher | Watson-Guptill | ## Images ![The DC Comics Guide to Digitally Drawing Comics - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71n1+CG9MPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A MUST! *by M***き on 8 June 2012* This book is a must!

Google Sketchup is in common use in most comic books these days and while the author clearly uses it a lot, he only has one page on it (the last page of the book). Otherwise it is useful for telling you how to layout a bristol board page with guides and rulers so there are definitely good parts to this book --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48915754-the-dc-comics-guide-to-digitally-drawing-comics](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48915754-the-dc-comics-guide-to-digitally-drawing-comics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
