Portfolio Review: Sequential Art

$49.99 – $99.99

Our most common portfolio review is for artists who want to illustrate comic book stories. In order to do that, you’ve got to have great storytelling in addition to great draftsmanship. A jack-of-all-trades, as it were.

For a portfolio review, please submit up to five pages of completed penciled (or penciled and inked, if both are by you) comic book pages in a continuous sequence. You can do a three-page sequences and a two-page sequence, if you prefer, but we do need to see pages in sequence in order to give you a full evaluation.

To submit your art for review, do the following:

  1. Select the range of pages you will be submitting
  2. Click “Add to Cart.”
  3. Go to your cart. Current Community Pro members receive a 10% discount.
  4. Proceed to checkout. Fill out all the billing information.
  5. Click “Place Order.”
  6. After purchase, you will be asked to fill out a form which will request:
    • The name of the artist.
    • The email address you would like the review sent to.
    • A link to the portfolio pages (ideally, a PDF).

Note, we recommend submitting no more than 10 pages for review. That is typically enough for one of our professional editors or artists to get a good sense of where you may want to concentrate for improvement.

Our style for review is an affirming and honest one. We’re not here to tear anyone down, but rather to honestly evaluate your work and give you helpful, and actionable critiques so that you know what to work on to improve your pages going forward. We are polite and professional and only want to see you succeed.

Most reviews are handled by Andy Schmidt, a former Marvel Comics and IDW Publishing Editor and Senior Editor, a comics writer, educator and publisher. He’s worked on small independent comics as well as blockbuster best-sellers.

Thanks so much for taking such a thorough look so quickly… Your advice on pulling in and making things a bit more clearer resonated for sure. Overall this was plenty for me to work on… Thanks again for being so honest, specific and supportive. This was hugely helpful.
