So what is the art process when making a comic?

[USArmyParatrooper]

I haven't looked at a lot of it but the few OA I've seen is black and white on big paper. Is it scanned, colored, dialog added then shrank to comic book size?

It usually depends on how much independence the artist retains I say artist since there are some that do the entire process themselves while there are others that enlist a whole gang of individuals to produce a product. Easy to tell if the same person does the entire process or not. Just check to see if there are different pencilers, inkers, colorists, dialogist, printers, etc. or whether it is all the same person.

 

Example:

- 1 person does the art, dialog, makes the plates, and assembles the book. You buy from 1st person.

- 1 person does rough pencils, 2nd person cleans up the pencils, 3rd person inks the pencils, 4th person adds dialog, 5th person partially colors, 6th person colors, 7th person shoots it, 8th person makes the plates, 9th person prints the page, 10th person sorts the pages, 11th person assembles the book, 12th person sells the book to distributor, 13th person buys from distributor. You guy from 13th person.
