One of his most famous books is 'Understanding Comics', a book of his that I own myself, is a comics book written about comics as an artistic medium, and how to create them. McCloud believes that comics have been in existence for centuries, although many great works of art are erroneously categorized as other art forms instead of comics. He explains the fundamentals of the genre, including the passage of time, depiction of motion, and broad interpretation by the reader as elements unique to comics.
He uses just black ink on white paper to create very simple and precise illustrations, makes use of line drawings. These are then taken onto photoshop to add the blocks of colour to, they are easy to read and understand. After owning one of his books, I have been admiring his work for many years. Although it is a style I cannot create myself, comic book art itself is a very skilled type of illustration, making them all flow continually and fit perfectly to convey the story to the target audiences.
