Hello all,
I am currently working on my first idea for a comic script and I am wondering how much details an artist in general needs from a writer in order to depict a scene somewhat as the writer has it in mind.
Someone has shown me descriptions examples before, some writers just providing a basic storyline, the characters, dialogues, perhaps some descriptions of some elements within the story while leaving the rest for the artist to imagine.
Then there are writers who descriptions per panel, describing the characters (looks on their faces, current pose and position), various objects, the background, and of course when something goes on, all the details on that.
I have written several dozens of panels now and have mostly focused on the characters and not so much their surroundings outside some panels here and there where I feel it is needed.
But is it better to add as much details as possible as what is depicted on a panel, including the setting even if it is a re use of what was seen in the previous panel, or can in general an artist work what should be shown on the background if a writer just adds that it is a follow up of the previous panel, just perhaps changing perspective and angles somewhat.
