Why are some bristol sheets for sequential art blue lined?
Non-reproducible blue grids are used as a guide for the artist to keep illustrations within the live or copy area of the sheet (see illustration on the next page). The live area is the area that will be reduced and reproduced to make the final comic book, cartoon or graphic novel.
Some artists are accustomed to working with the preprinted grids while others prefer to line their own with Adobe Illustrator, non-reproducible pens and pencils or other printing methods.
