I have always had a full-time job and done comics in my spare time. What works for me is if I put aside 1-2 hours every evening for drawing, so that I have time for other things as well. If you try to keep up with people who do comics full-time, you will probably wear out sooner or later. So, do it …
Thanks for the feedback. Knowing myself I will probably buy a Cintiq sooner or later no matter what, so I'll just have to see how well I adapt 
I like to draw and ink traditionally, but I am not sure whether to continue doing that or move onto vector based line art for future comics. Now that I am thinking about buying a Cintiq, it would be nice to hear about other artists' experience with moving from traditionally inking to digitally inkin…
Oh, that's a shame. I guess Reddit is a dead end then 
Does anyone have experience from sharing to Reddit directly from Tapastic? I am asking since most of the comics on Reddit seem to be linked to the comic's own web page or imgur.
This is My Twitter for No Socks Attached
I just want to shamelessly announce that No Socks Attached update number 100 got posted today! I am only doing single-panel cartoons, so it's really not that much of a big deal, but I figured I'd have a beer and blow my trumpet anyway. Thanks to all of you who have subscribed, read and commented on …
I do this all the time. I've also looked for ALT+TAB when someone on the bus asked me what book I was reading. Sometimes when I come home from work I stand outside the front door of our house and try to open the door with my electronic car key.

One thing Imgur has succeeded at is leaving me puzzled and confused.. This one did really good, ending up with 1k+ upvotes and nearly 100k views. This one, which I personally consider to be one of my best, flunked at 4 points (12 up/8 down) and under 2k views. I am trying to find a rational ex…
Thanks a bunch, subscribed to you all now. Any others?
Some time ago I started to put small timestamps on my drawings. I put timestamps for when I start and stop sketching, when I start and stop inking, coloring and texting. After a while I have a pretty good image of how much time I need to do a set amount of pages, and I now plan ahead by putting asid…
I'm looking to subscribe to more single-panel comics (gag comics). If you have one, please link it here.
I've been testing this myself now on a couple of comic panels. You can get feedback real fast, but one problem is the hive mind mentality that will occur. The more downvotes you get, the bigger the chance that more people will give downvotes or not vote at all. And if you get upvotes fast, people wi…
Right now I am drinking a light pear cider, just to stay healthy.
13th of January 1990. I was 17 years old and this was the first page of my first comic: [image]
Go outside for a walk. Half an hour per day at a steady pace can work wonders.
I am just checking out Imgur and Reddit myself, and I find the whole thing to be a bit confusing to say the least. On Imgur it seems you can access a large audience in a brief amount of time, but anything you drop into that bucket drowns in an ocean of kitten gifs and memegenerator stuff. Reddit, …
You can't beat the 80's. Growing up in that decade is like winning the lottery.
Thanks for the feedback. I had a feeling that 920 one was too big (for my comic) so I think I'll keep the old 500px wide format.
I know Tapastic suggests that bigger is better, when it comes to comics page size. And while a maximum of 940x4000 pixels is allowed, would that be the best for a single panel comic like mine? Would a smaller format be better to prevent having to scroll the panel? Example #1: 500px wide Example #2…
That font looks good, I'll try it out. Kiitos vinkistä!
I get this every single time I'm trying to come up with some new ideas: Phase 1. These ideas are horrible. I can't use any of them. Phase 2. Maybe I'll try drawing this one anyway. Phase 3. I don't remember how to draw anymore. My drawing sucks. Phase 4. Maybe I'll try to fix this in Photoshop. Ph…
Thanks for all the useful tips and examples in this thread! I decided to go the update image route as well. Here is what I am using now, not sure if it's a bit too wide at 600 pixels. I should probably test it on a few different devices. [image]
I seem to have lost a couple of subscribers now, so I might have to adjust my numbers for the first month, seeing as it's not over yet... Does this happen, or should I freak out and start analyzing where I went wrong on my latest updates?
Does hashtags really do anything nowadays, or can you leave the hash out of it and people would still find your tweet? I think I read somewhere that, for example: "Check out this webcomic blabla.. #webcomic" would be redundant, yes?
I'm nearing a month now with my single panel comic No Socks Attached and I usually get 1 (sometimes 2) subscribers per daily update. I've been fairly active on the forum and also commenting on other people's comics that I like. When it comes to how many likes I get per episode I am more confused, b…
That is probably the main reason why most people won't correct someone's grammar, unless they are saying something nice about the comic itself first. Personally, I would appreciate the gesture, even if the person correcting me doesn't like my comics at all. But the tricky part here is getting the me…
Hi, One of the things that I hope to achieve by uploading my comics here on tapastic.com, and by being a part of the community, is to improve my English skills. Translating my comics from Norwegian to English can be quite a challenge at times, but also rewarding as I sometimes discover completely …
