Oh my goodness! This is amazing. Seeing an artist break down why another artist's art works really helps to see why all comic artists are such incredible storytellers
I was redirected to this from Panel to Pixels’ video about comic book UA-camrs to watch. I hope you take this as an encouraging sign to do this again soon. 🙂
i’ve never learned so many useful things about comics like i had the last hour digging through your channel… i’m pretty hyped about going back to the board rn
Moi : *lit peu de comics, pas forcément intéressée par le genre* Elsa : *explique des choses sur la composition d'une page de comic* Moi : *subitement très intéressée*
Nice job! I did an analysis and presentation on Hawkeye too for one of my finals a few years ago. I did the page where he used the Electro-arrow in "Cherry" though.
Another lefty!!! So far your videos have been very educational. I want to take art from a hobby to a career. I worked a job for 20 years and after the pandemic everything fell apart. So now at 40 i decided that if I’m going to start a new career and it better be something i really want to do. Your story is very inspiring. Thank you!!
Hi. I am from Pakistan and and I have always been fascinated with comics and hawkeye is among my top 10. Your analysis is very helpful. I am very grateful to you for this.
More analysis videos please ! Artists speaking critically about sequential art are criminally rare on this platform, the production quality and editing were also top notch. Keep up the great work! This was an instant subscription
I found this really helpful! Maybe look at some Daredevil pages from Marco Checchetto next? His pages are so good and I think a break down of them would be really interesting
I'd love to see you breakdown some of Tonci Zonjic's work, especially his stuff in Skulldigger + Skeleton Boy. That series has some fantastic page layouts.
My first introduction to your art was on Starfire and you gave me some Darwyn Cooke vibes! Thanks for giving us an education. Hearing creators talk about why certain things work is eye opening.
I love content like this. When reading a comic (most of the time) it just flows, but I appreciate it more knowing how much consideration was put into making it so effortless.
Incredible! I just watched the Chernobyl and Reservoir Dogs clips too. Inject this stuff straight into my veins. The way you break down the storytelling aspect of comics is amazing. I would love to see you do more of these. Chris Samnee and Jorge Jimenez are two artists I think are good at visual storytelling although I'm sure you have a long list queued up already.
Super cool vid! Can't think of a conversation about page design without mentioning JH Williams III. Have also been rereading Concrete by Paul Chadwick. I knew it was thoughtful and fun but I can't believe I slept on how great his page designs are.
This was fantastic! I've been reading comics for 40 years and I learned so much. Please make a million more. I'd love to see something about Alan Davis. His work is my fave. Keep up the good work!
Such a great first episode! Excited to see this series develop. Case Study recommendation: the 15-grid page in Afterlife with Archie #4, (art work by Francesco Francavilla).
Oh! I actually did some personal study to figure out balance of black & white on that series. (I believe there's some on my pinned Insta stories) I love Francesco's work!
@@ElsaCharretierChannel Will def check out your Insta for that story -- would love to see your study on that. Ty for the heads up! :) (Francavilla is amazing; would love to see any case study you do on him!)
This is fantastic. Thank you, Elsa. Love to hear you talk about Javier Rodriguez' work at some point, like his stuff on Dr. Strange and the Sorcerers' Supreme.
Amazing choice of panel for your first in the series. Aja's work on this comic is absolutely incredible. Thanks for helping me appreciate it on a deeper level!
Really enjoy this and thanks so much for sharing! I’d say it would be really interesting to see you dissect something from the almighty Darwyn Cooke maybe from his Parker Series! Thanks again for this!
This is seriously getting me back to drawing comics! Love the analysis! And study page layouts this way is good practice! More comics artists should do it!
Hello Elsa, superbe première vidéo, encore bravo. Je viens de penser à un artiste en particulier : Alex Maleev et son travail sur la série Daredevil avec Brian Bendis au scénario. Il a un découpage et des compositions vraiment incroyables à chaque fois, ça serait passionnant de voir une analyse sur son travail. Encore félicitations pour ce lancement, très hâte de voir la suite !
This is incredibly instructive. I am slowly teaching myself how to draw and this has to be one of the most useful video I have seen, to create a composition. Thank you!
This is an amazing video that I greatly appreciate. This is the type of stuff that makes the art side of comics so special. And as 30+ year comic book reader and an art school dropout, while I understand these concepts and am aware of them they are such an implicit part of my comic book reading habit that I often can take them for granted, so it is nice to see such a well done and concise explanation as a reminder. Thank you.
This video is awesome!! The way you explain, how it is filmed, everything. Congrats for this! Cant wait to see more videos like this, somepages from Quitely, Samnee or Declan Shalvey would be great
Cool to get a close examination of a single panel like this. I notice the one playing card that breaks the panel border also helps to add depth. It'd be great to get more looks back at the panel or page you're discussing in future videos while you're diagramming it, since it can be hard to remember or visualize the original when not seeing it on our screen. Very clear teaching style. I'm looking forward to your making-of type stuff on November from the Kickstarter! I don't have any specific suggestions on pages or panels to look at, but there's loads of worthwhile stuff in the art of Alex Toth, Jaime Hernandez, Mike Mignola, Chris Ware, Rutu Modan, Paul Grist, Osamu Tezuka, Moebius, Charles Burns, Eleanor Davis, Hugo Pratt, Bill Watterson, Eddie Campbell, David Mazzucchelli, Tillie Walden, Jim Woodring, Jason, Lewis Trondheim, Sergio Toppi, Frank Miller, Dave Gibbons, Jacques Tardi, José Muñoz, Taiyo Matsumoto, Dino Battaglia, Alberto Breccia, etc...
Love this! I’d love to see something on breaking down your process. What materials you use for roughs and final pieces and what that evolution looks like. Also where you get ideas for your excellent compositions.
Une surprise qui fait plaisir ! Je suis depuis quelques années très intéressé par le contenu traitant de BD/composition (Strip Panel Naked, Comic book girl 19, Northern Rufio pour parler que de YT) et je peux sincèrement dire que ce que tu proposes est de très grande qualité dès le 1er épisode c'est assez bluffant. Avoir le point de vue direct d'une artiste analysant le travail d'autres est une mine d'or en terme d'informations. Pratique, inspirant même pour ceux qui cherchent à exprimer leurs passion pour l'art séquentiel d'une façon ou d'une autre (spoiler: moi). Pour parler planche, ça serait top d'avoir ton point de vue sur le boulot de Sean Phillips (Kill or be Killed - Issue #10) ou Wes Craig (Deadly Class - Issue #26)
This was splendid. Magnifique! I'm watching a MasterClass with Neil Gaiman, and this has the same integrity of presentation and information. Thank you very much for doing this, and I'll look forward to developing my comics illustrating skills with more videos.

This is great, Elsa. There's not enough of this level of analysis available for aspiring artists.
Thank you so much, Jim!
Aja is a goddamn genius. Like I've read Hawkeye so many times and still pick up something new every time.
David Aja's Hawkeye is my favorite and I love this analysis! Thank you!
Excellent. Cracking up at “Bros”
Oh my goodness! This is amazing. Seeing an artist break down why another artist's art works really helps to see why all comic artists are such incredible storytellers
I'd love a breakdown of something from David Mazzucchelli (Daredevil, Batman: Year One, Asterios Polyp, etc.)
Then...keep your eyes peeled ;)
I was redirected to this from Panel to Pixels’ video about comic book UA-camrs to watch. I hope you take this as an encouraging sign to do this again soon. 🙂
me too
Maybe some stuff by Chris Samnee or Mike Mignola? I really like their compositions. Or Bill Sienkiewicz for something dramatically different :D
You betcha! Love their work

Nice job! I did an analysis and presentation on Hawkeye too for one of my finals a few years ago. I did the page where he used the Electro-arrow in "Cherry" though.
Fantastic video! I subscribed less than 90 seconds in and will be recommending your channel to my drawing students.
Elsa, this was so incredibly insightful, beautifully broken down, shot and edited so well. SUBSCRIBED!
Invincible might be a good one to tackle with the show currently running and those books selling incredibly well.
New subscriber here, better late than never, I guess. I'm glad to have found this video, great way to learn how to problem-solve a scene. Thank you.
I am never not ready for more Hawkguy content.
Another lefty!!! So far your videos have been very educational. I want to take art from a hobby to a career. I worked a job for 20 years and after the pandemic everything fell apart. So now at 40 i decided that if I’m going to start a new career and it better be something i really want to do. Your story is very inspiring. Thank you!!
I'll love to see some Jaime Hernandez! he is such an under appreciated master of cartoon expresionism and his art deserves to be analyzed in detail ;D
Indeed! If you haven’t seen it, Hassan has a great analysis of Hernandez’s cartooning on his Strip Panel Naked channel.
Hi. I am from Pakistan and and I have always been fascinated with comics and hawkeye is among my top 10. Your analysis is very helpful. I am very grateful to you for this.
More analysis videos please !

Passionnant ! Merci pour les sous-titres en français !
Excellente vidéo, c'est incroyablement propre et bien expliqué !
Je m'abonne alors que je suis même pas lecteur de comics. Merci pour ce travail 😊
Merci ! Attends quelques épisodes et tu seras converti ;)
I found this really helpful! Maybe look at some Daredevil pages from Marco Checchetto next? His pages are so good and I think a break down of them would be really interesting
Gosh. Elsa, you are the best - thanks for these videos!!!!
I'd love to see you breakdown some of Tonci Zonjic's work, especially his stuff in Skulldigger + Skeleton Boy. That series has some fantastic page layouts.
Great suggestion, I love his work too!
My first introduction to your art was on Starfire and you gave me some Darwyn Cooke vibes! Thanks for giving us an education. Hearing creators talk about why certain things work is eye opening.
Wow! Great job both the artist and you!
Elsa, you have to come back to UA-cam. These videos are amazing!
So impressed with your work on these videos. Very inspiring and thought provoking.
I love content like this. When reading a comic (most of the time) it just flows, but I appreciate it more knowing how much consideration was put into making it so effortless.

Fascinating! Thanks so much Elsa!
This is brilliant, Elsa! Can't wait for more!
Très intéressant et instructif! Merci Elsa
This is absolutely amazing, thank you so much for these videos! I just found your channel and I'm going to binge on them tomorrow
This series and Strip Panel Naked really help me understand how comics work.
Fantastic breakdown!
It's so cool that THIS much detail and thought goes into a single page of a comic.
I loved this a lot! I’d really like to see you analyze any of Otto Schmidt’s work, he’s a favorite of mine in the comics world! :)
I'm hoping that this is just the first of many because I love it. High quality analysis is hard to find by people who actually know about the medium.
This is absolutely amazing. Brings a whole new appreciation to art.
Why is this so awesome?
Your analysis is incredible. I’m new to your page and I hope you make it around to doing some more of these they’re world class
Lovely video! You are a great teacher.
This was fantastic! I've been reading comics for 40 years and I learned so much. Please make a million more. I'd love to see something about Alan Davis. His work is my fave. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
Hey Elsa, I love your work & this channel is great! Looking forward to more content.
Great video and channel, Elsa!
Congratulations on this amazing video! My recommendation would be Uncanny X-Men 133, any of the pages that Wolverine fights the Hellfire Club guards!
great video.
sure wish I watched this before I drew... four grahic novels. just winging it and hoping for the best.
Such a great first episode! Excited to see this series develop. Case Study recommendation: the 15-grid page in Afterlife with Archie #4, (art work by Francesco Francavilla).

I'm re-reading JH Williams Batwoman and the panel compositions in his books are so wild. Definitely one to check out in the future
This is fantastic. Thank you, Elsa. Love to hear you talk about Javier Rodriguez' work at some point, like his stuff on Dr. Strange and the Sorcerers' Supreme.
This was fantastic. Olivier Coipel, James Harren, JRJR, Kate Beaton all come to mind as recommendations/requests. Look forward to your next video!
This is a great video and really helpful! Thank you!
Excellent! Great info and expertly presented - really looking forward to future videos from you! =)
Amazing choice of panel for your first in the series. Aja's work on this comic is absolutely incredible. Thanks for helping me appreciate it on a deeper level!
Really enjoy this and thanks so much for sharing! I’d say it would be really interesting to see you dissect something from the almighty Darwyn Cooke maybe from his Parker Series! Thanks again for this!
We’ve got something reeeeally special planned for the Parker series :)
Now this is a true lesson! Perfectly explained
Great video! Thank you.
Very very helpful!!!! Thx a lot.
would be cool to hear you analyze something from Jean Paul Leon's Earth-X pages, some sweet stuff in there
C'était parfait. Très didactique. Je m'abonne
Super intéressant ! Je pense que Chris Samnee mérite d'être analysé également.
This is seriously getting me back to drawing comics! Love the analysis!
And study page layouts this way is good practice! More comics artists should do it!
絵だけでも勉強になります、ありがとう

As a new artist/writer, I've been looking for someone to do this level of analysis on a comic page. Thank you Elsa
This is incredibly instructive. I am slowly teaching myself how to draw and this has to be one of the most useful video I have seen, to create a composition. Thank you!
Great production quality and even better content! Can't wait to see more.
This analysis is amazing and it legit has changed the way I look at panels while I read now. Can't wait for more content!
Wow. Amazing.
Fantastic content!
This is an amazing video that I greatly appreciate.
This is the type of stuff that makes the art side of comics so special.

Thank you.
Amazing vid! Congrats on the content, flow and beauty of it. This is the future of comic vids!
This is gold! Amazing breakdowns, Elsa! I like how you make it easy to understand. Thank you! :)
Loved this! Would love to see more breakdowns of comic art!
love this
Thank youuuu!!!!
Excellent !
This video is awesome!! The way you explain, how it is filmed, everything. Congrats for this!
Cant wait to see more videos like this, somepages from Quitely, Samnee or Declan Shalvey would be great
Amazing ! I just love it! It shows how much of a workaholic you’re ! Can’t wait to see more !
If it's something you're interested in, I would LOVE to see a look at something by Hugo Pratt. But whatever you do, I'm excited for it.
I saw a Pratt exhibit in Paris right when I was starting out, and it left a huge impression on me. I’ll definitely keep your suggestion in mind!
Amazing (And really helpfull) video!
Can't wait for more content like this from you. Learned so much!
Great video!! So happy you used Hawkguy as an example!
You've quickly become one of my favorite illustrators, and I am extremely stoked for this series. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
Amazing!

Merci c'est passionnant, vivement la prochaine ! Et merci Arno pour les sous-titres
This was amazing!! Can't wait for more!
Damn bro, straight to marker bro. Nailed it too. Very cool video, looking forward to more!
This was amazing!! Thank you so much! Incredibly informative and entertaining, keep it up!
Subscribed, so time to look through the archives to see if there are any Squirrel Girl/Honey Badger/Patsy Walker videos. :D
Really well done, Elsa. Sharp.
Would love to see a Darwyn Cooke panel analyzed to continue with artists who are great with using blacks to create depth and drama

I watched Gaiman’s masterclass too, loved it. I would have loved to see him go into more details about his writing approach for comics, though!
