BEYOND THE DRAWING. INTO THE STORYTELLING.
FROM SCRIPT TO FINAL ART
From the written word to the finished page.
FROM SCRIPT TO FINAL ART is a behind-the-scenes look at how a graphic novel comes to life.
Using one of the most ambitious chapters from the Ringo Award-nominated crime series PALOMINO, Stephan Franck takes readers through every stage of the creative process, presenting script, layouts, and final art side by side, accompanied by candid commentary on storytelling, cinematography, composition, and visual narrative.
Both a practical exploration of craft and a rare window into a working artist's process, FROM SCRIPT TO FINAL ART is ultimately a meditation on visual storytelling itself—and life in the storytelling trenches.

“Stephan Franck’s pencils have the look and feel of an animator and his final inks those of a comic book artist. Best of both worlds!”— Chris Ferguson (Art Director, AWA Studios)
