The Secret to Doing Clear Storytelling

I learned this from another comic book artist named Rick Buckler, and never forgot it. It's something called the "action axis", and they use it in movies all the time, but it also applies to comic book storytelling too.

The basic idea is this, never cross the action axis, and your storytelling will be much clearer. The best way to think of of it is, as a stage in a theatre. You can move your camera anywhere you want in the…

Try Mirror Testing Your Art

If you really want to see the flaws in your drawing, try holding it up to a mirror (or if in Photoshop, flip the image horizontally) and check out the reverse image. You'll instantly see flaws you couldn't see before. I don't know why this works, but man, does it ever!

You can find this experience shocking and even disheartening, but if we want to get better, we have to see our mistakes. Sometimes I almost dread doing this, because after…

Now that comics are colored on the computer, you can use unlimited array of colors.  However, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. With computer coloring there's a strong temptation to over render your comics, and therefore mute your colors. 

This is why the comics in general look so much darker and more somber looking than comic books of the past. Now, if this is your intension that's fine, but if not, here's a few rules that will help you keep your colors popping…

If you want to get an idea of numbers for books - as in how much you might be able to make off them - so you can understand what kind of costs need to be considered to make them.

Consider the following: Average Sale Per…

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart. (Proverbs 21:2) Superheroes are typically defined by their commitment to use their incredible powers to do the right thing. Supervillains do just the opposite. And sin tempts us to do the opposite as well. We so often want to define what is right according to our own rights. While most superheroes just seem to know what is right, we need God's word to show us the way. Only He “weighs the heart”. And…

My artwork has gotten a lot of attention lately (mostly DeviantArt) with the messages I have put in. Mostly positive. So lately I've been thinking of going into a new project: exposing False Teachers/Preachers, founders of cults, con men/women, etc.

I would try draw a picture of one each week, sometimes in a comical way, which shows what they are known for, kind of like a title card and include links to videos and articles to prove that what they have said, wrote and done is true and…

Greetings to all.  I'm curious if anyone out there has had experience publishing their independent comics online at graphicly.com, and if so, how it went.  I read a few comics from their site and I'm really impressed with their interface and the way they connect comics with reviews and fans. 

Any thoughts from those who've published with them?  Pros, cons?  Are their other sites that have worked better for self-publication? 

Thanks for sharing.
