Quadrinhos Brasileiros

A história começ…

Share your BL comic and novel!

Your art is beautiful and the story sounds interesting! I subscribed to read it when I arrive home. Yesterday I published the first ep of my BL comic here and on Line Webtoons, it's called "Our Lovely Deal". The protagonist, Rodric, is an incubus who's tired of being treated as a mere pretty face …

Have you ever felt a bit insecure about your comic?

I think everyone feels like this sometimes, and it's completely normal. As we are constantly improving our skills, we'll always feel that we could have done better on this and that. Of course, it's okay to want to get better and be able to execute your idea more nicely. But you shouldn't let this fe…

My comic is in manga style, since it's faster for me to draw and I really love the good old screentones effect

[Tapas Insider] Reflections on 2020 (Chance to Win 5,000 Bonus Ink!)

Events | Challenges

2020 was rough in many ways, but I'm glad that I was able to start drawing again after almost a year of hiatus. I also met lots of amazing online friends that helped me feel less isolated during quarantine, and inspired me to keep practicing my art. Now, I'm working on a comic to be released very so…

How did you learn to create digital art?

I started doing digital art in 2015, when I found it to be a better alternative to me (I can only buy art supplies online and paying for expensive shipping, so in the long run digital was cheaper). I was drawing traditionally for three years before that, so it also helped. Most of the things I learn…

What software(s) do you use to script out your comic?

I use Scrivener for the same reason you mentioned. I prefer to have a different section for each chapter but I also want to access them all in the same place. Before that I used Evernote, which is kinda similar in terms that you can create several notes and keep them organized inside of a single not…

What are your goals for 2021?

My main creative goal for next year is to release my comic. It's not my very first because I did some attempts at comics in the past, but it's the first I'm taking seriously and devoting some more time to planning. Right now I'm building a buffer of pages before posting, and I'm aiming to publish it…

Do you read comics on desktop? + Poll

I use the phone mostly to read when I'm tired or outside home (or when I'm reading the Mature section lol) The rest of the time I use desktop, specially if I want to see the details of the artwork.

Comic Artists, What Art Program Do You Use, And Why?

I have Clip Studio Paint since last year and it's the best software I ever bought. The default brushes are really nice and they also have a huge library of free assets to use on comics and illustration in general. It was really worth the price, specially bc I bought it during a sale.

Women and BL - insights for writing

I don't think I'm 100% straight but still, I tend to like BL/GL romance stories more than hetero stories because the characters are more "equal" in the relationship, in terms that gender roles don't play a big part on it. Like someone said previously, in some hetero romances the woman feels more lik…

Could I please have some feedback on my website?

The website looks very clean and professional! I could find all the information about your comic easily and the navigation is intuitive. I just agree with migxmeg, it's recommended to keep the call-to-action button on the top part of the website so people can click on it as soon as they enter the …

Who is the sexiest fictional character in your opinion?

I've heard about that! Luckily he's a high rank SOLDIER so he can afford buying so many bottles of shampoo and conditioner in a month LOL

How do you design characters?

Things I consider when designing a character are mostly where they live, what they do and how they want people to see them. Sometimes I create characters based on an aesthetic, so I kinda have an image of them before I even start fleshing out the details about their lives. Then I do sketches to ex…

The "Joys" of Quarantine

Thank you so much for liking my art! <3 For coding the game I use the RenPy engine: https://www.renpy.org/ It's free and although it requires coding, it's very beginner friendly and straight-forward! (plus they have a clear documentation that explains the basics to code a simple game) You can see so…

The "Joys" of Quarantine

Since I love to draw but I'm not very good with comics, I decided to try doing visual novels during quarantine and I discovered a new and funny hobby! I've just released a small BL game for the spooky season and I'm working on two other projects that have demos right now. It was quite challenging be…

Who is the sexiest fictional character in your opinion?

To me? Sephiroth. Although he wants to destroy the planet, he's just so handsome! [image]

Artists, can I ask you something?

I started drawing digitally on November 2015, and I was already drawing traditionally for about four years then. I started with an Intuos Pen small and nowadays I use iPad Air 3 more often (drawing on screen feels so much better!). I've been on hiatuses for a few times in these past years because of…
