I'mma just leave this here:
Zap is always what I think about for that example, thanks for reading my mind, haha. Yeah, story means a lot to me. I think we all have a comic out there that's our closet "B movie" that we read, even if it's not coherent, too cliche, or basic. I read a lot more of those when there were less comic…
I've never had my own booth, but I know several friends who have. I've also gone there myself, so I can tell you what I saw. One friend had only one comic out, a person bought her comic and returned, asking if she had more. Artists who offer a wider range of pricing tended to have more intereste…
Yep, yep! Exactly. I think it's good to keep these in mind. They're both comics that are capable of being liked by many. I remember one comic that I binge-read was just some dude's high school daily biography that was drawn with stick people. Another example I think of is Hark, A Vagrant: http://…
I can't find the discussion where one person was asking whether they'd have to be good at drawing to make comics, so here's my response to anyone who's asking themselves the same thing. Scott McCloud (super cool comic artist) has said there's four artistic tribes, or values that people have that …
Not sure what free drawing programs are available for chromebook, but you'll need something. I would recommend Clip Studio Paint if you want a program that's made just for making comics and you can grow into. If you want something more painterly, Autodesk Sketch might work? Whatever you use, just…
Flight was what first got me into comics, it showed me all the possibilities. I really like them because it's a wide variety, all bundled up into one book you can sit down and read for hours. As far as digital goes, I've only seen/participated in ones where it's all one story, just different artis…
To cap off the year and celebrate all the art lessons I've done in my comic, I made a couple free perspective grids in PSD and printable forms. Not sure if they're helpful for anyone, but if you'd like them, they're up on Gumroad (just ignore the prompt for paying more than 0 dollars, haha). Enjo…
I have to be super patient and just walk away while it uploads. Webtoons is always molasses slow for me. If it isn't that, I'd check one of those "is down" twitter accounts or sites. I'm not in Europe, so I don't know if it's a server deal.
There used to be gaming controllers with built in fans and vents to help reduce sweat. Too bad styluses are too small to incorporate that, because I know there's plenty of people who'd appreciate it.
"Art lessons through fun comics"
That's really cool and complex work. Definitely someone who knows the rules and how to break them!
Wow, the detail of Rebelka's work is mind-boggling.
The colours almost have a prismatic feel to it, like a combination of vintage 3D glasses and starting into a diamond. Crazy cool.
That piece reminds me of an animated short. It was all painted on glass, which is crazy to me. I guess the similarity is in that muddled dark patches with that texture of scratched in lines. Gives it a dark, sophisticated, and more focused feel.
Looks epic to me! I can see why it's award winning.
What's an art piece (digitial, traditional) or artist you admire or envy? What makes you think "I LOVE this!", "How did they make that?!", or "I wish I could draw like that!"?
If only all furniture was perfectly cubed, then we'd all be masters.
If you deleted it, I have a strong hunch that all the works got deleted with it. I'll be quite surprised if it still exists on a server somewhere.
Good on you for facing your fears head on!
I think it might be a system glitch. I'm nowhere near that sub count, and I got a notification that two people subbed to me within the last few hours. I went to their pages and saw that I had already thanked them days ago.
I also got into super old-school cheating, where I'd clean up my sketch lines and photocopy it. It inked everything for me. It was a poor substitute, but I was lazy, and it came in handy.
When I was first learning inking, I remember almost finishing a piece, only to smudge a line with my hand, ruining the entire picture. That, and using thin pens to erase lines too early, and getting ink on my eraser AND across the page. You have my empathy.
I'm part of a writer's discord group, and a guy came on who had written an entire novel with real life people in it. He was asking us questions about how he would handle radio interviews. I'll let you interpret our reactions from there. It ended up that so many people tried to unravel everything h…
When I was a teenager, I used to draw flat paddle hands or tuck them behind character's backs. It did wonders for me to just watch people and see what they did with their hands when they were sitting or standing. Much to my surprise, it turned out that it took more effort for people to hold their fi…
For sure! Sure, the more we can learn about anatomy, the less we have to look up, but it's a looooooong process of learning. In the meantime: human "parkour" -wall twist downward view... lol
Yeah, it's hard to tell how extreme it'll look until you get started, then you end up with a room that's doing a gigantic cavern impression, haha.
I'd also vote for the view when someone's looking up. The shape of the jaw and neck and how things connect would get me all the time.
Yep. I had to draw an axe being thrown once, and the amount of research I had to do to figure out how it looked semi-forward but in perspective... it took way longer than I thought it would.
Absolutely get that. Sometimes it's too time-consuming to do everything to the letter, and you just hope no one thinks to look at it twice and pick it apart.
