Re: Photoshop Tutorial

no. I remember the author made a slice of life comic, simply designed characters, and it had just been added to keenspot when I got here like two-three years ago.

Re: Photoshop Tutorial

I think it was written by someone on this site, it involved selecting stuff, inverting selections, pasting to blank backgrounds. Does anyone know what I'm trying to remember?

Photoshop Tutorial

There was a website I remember once reading, it had a tutorial for people who scan pen and ink drawings and then edit them in photoshop. It took you step by step through isolating your pen lines pasting them onto a blank canvas, adding borders, etc. Google doesn't share my brain, and thus I can't fi...

But for those of us who haven't, I'm curious, have you ever done any indie style self publishing? Y'know made up some mini comics and taken them to your local comic book store, alternative pr...

Your best ideas mean nothing unless you can convince someone else to care about your great ideas. Without a hook you're just speaking to yourself.

yes, I to do not understand this, women are crazy talk. The thing is, women are hot. Very hot. Not that men aren't attractive themselves. But women are hot. And good conversators.

Well, it's a problem from the point of view of nations that are facing negative population growth because if the trend continues, they might be extinct and their culture might be repressed by the culture of, say, immigrants from third world who arrive to fill the void in working population. Of cour...

living is definately the best cure for writers block. Reminds me of a quote I once heard about creative writing schools.

"Sure the kids will learn all the tools they need to tell a story, problem is many of them spend so much time learning they have no story to tell."

Re: Why make webComics?

1) Why make webcomics? Because I'm just starting to draw seriously and I can't ever see good enough for the UPI from where I'm standing. So I get to post my attempts at art, have people read them, gains fans, get feedback, the benefits are many. 2) Do you feel connected to a webcomic community? (wh...

for me (to answer my own question) it's evolved as my artwork has evolved. At first I needed the borders, otherwise the panels wouldn't line up and I'd have one frame that needed to be two inches and another that would have to be 4.

Panels.

How do people feel about panels?

Do those that use them have them as preset guidelines before you draw, or do you put them in afterwards?

Do you find panels limiting? Neccesary? A neat tool if known how to use correctly?

What is the average speed of an unladden Swallow?
