ABOUT THIS LESSON

Did you know there is more than one type of Establishing Shot you can use in a comic book sequence?

In this lesson, we'll be learning about Secondary Establishing Shots!

Secondary Establishing Shots provide additional context for the initial one. So, if you have your primary establishing shot showing an epic Kingdom, the Secondary Establishing Shot might show us the interior of the Kings Castle, along with the characters that'll be focused in on in the following panels.

In this lesson I'll walk you through the process of sketching up Secondary Establishing Shots that draw readers in and get them immersed in your story.

You'll learn how to compose each scene in a way that draws attention to key areas of focus, how to use references to inform your ideas, how to create a compelling mood for your scene - and much more!
