"penciller"의 정의 및 의미

Who is a "penciller"?

A penciller is an artist who creates the first drawings for comic books and graphic novels. They sketch the characters, backgrounds, and action scenes in pencil, providing the base for the final artwork. Pencillers work closely with writers to bring the story to life and often collaborate with inkers, colorists, and letterers who add details, color, and text. Their work is crucial in defining the visual style and flow of the story. Pencillers can work for comic book publishers, animation studios, or as freelance artists.
