Here's a simple but important rule in story telling. Never stack panels on the left. Doing that will leave the reader confused on which way to go while reading. Anything that creates confusion is a no-no in storytelling. Always make reading your comic easy to follow and a smoothly flowing narrative. www.ORANGEPEEL3.com…

Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards
I got this book years ago and it was an immense help. The exercises in it will help you switch into the drawing mode of seeing and measuring with your eye. When you start to see things like the contour of a line, or negative white space, you start to understand the process of doing accurate drawings and how to reliably repeat that process.
You can buy it on Amazon. I see one in the "used" section for 14…

Doing God's Will in Comics
"Do as thou whilst, be the whole of the law." This is, of course, the only commandment of satanism, and goes against all we value and hold dear. So, how do we do God's will when creating comics and not our own will, which is wicked by nature? The answer is, we must have the Holy Spirit acting through us. Easier said than done (at least for me), but I'm determined to do my best.
When Stan Lee created Spiderman, it was a reaction from…

I get a little annoyed when I see young artist starting out, and they show a drawing that they copied of an artist they like to someone else, and the person says, "Oh, you copied it". This can be discouraging, but don't let it. This is how you learn to draw.
No one ever sits down at a piano and starts playing original Mozart quality music. You have to first learn how to play by playing someone else's music, unless you are some kind of phenomenal genius (I'm not). It's…
ContinueYour Orange Peel 3 comic is a big inspiration to me. I hope to someday draw and write as well as you. :)
Thanks, Dan for the welcome!
Thanks Brien!!!
I know you did Orange Peel over a year and a half ago, but this is the first time I've seen it. Above and beyond your excellent art, the iconic cars and bright colors make Orange Peel really...fun as well as eyecatching.
Hello Dan,
I have not checked out the comic changes yet, but I read the articles. I totally agree with you in terms of love being more than a feeling, although by "more than a feeling" I was originally thinking about the cognitive/decision-making aspect of love. It was great to be reminded that love is also a person in the form of God. I also liked the articles on God reappearing, the remaining 96%, and us "finding what we want" in Jesus. Very thought-provoking.
Stay blessed,
Justin
No prob, will do...
Ok cool, sounds good. I actually finished reading it yesterday, but I'll still check out the changes/updates.
Thanks for accepting my friend request! I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about your projects. I've also started reading "Orange Peel 3." Cool stuff... Peace and blessings,
Justin
