Katsuhiro Otomo and the Perfect Panels of 'Akira'
(Comics Alliance article. Otomo, I should say, is likely my favorite artist and probably the biggest influence on my style. - shutupadrian)
Panel-to-panel progression is closely related to storytelling. Skilled progression will create the story in your head, and turn still pictures into animation. Picking that perfect moment for a panel may well be the most important job a cartoonist has. A talented artist who draws the action half a second too late will create a book full of awkward poses and ugly action. A talented artist who nails that moment, though, can make something fantastic.
Katsuhiro Otomo's good at a lot of things -- pacing, plotting, destruction, terror -- but today? Today, he's good at storytelling. Otomo is a master of the perfect pane
