This effect is often reinforced by the colouring, which is less even, less primary than schematic or comic-dynamic comics.
The realistic comics are often laboriously detailed. An effort is made to make the comics look as convincing, as natural as possible, while still being drawings. No speed lines or exaggerations are used. This effect is often reinforced by the colouring, which is less even, less primary than schematic or comic-dynamic comics.
Famous examples are Jerry Spring by Jijé, Blueberry "wikipedia:Blueberry (comics)") by Giraud, and Thorgal by Rosiński.
