I’ve been working sporadically on different projects as of late. Below is a list of projects I’ve more or less been working on. Notice that I’ve decided to take some of my comic projects and am writing them as novels instead. I decided that I could describe the story better in words with supplementary illustrations than illustrating it all because it would be so detailed. lol Not that you guys know or anything but I’m just letting you know. Still trying to carry out the others in comic form so no worries there. 😀 Current Projects Cryptic Treasures – Novel…

I’m doing a Monthly Sketch Giveaway! The giveaways will start the first Friday of the month and will end the last Friday of the month. This month will be an exception since it started a little late but that’s ok, I don’t expect a lot of entries the first round. lol I figure this will help keep me practicing and you guys will get free art! 😀 Mind you, these will be sketches and depending on my time and how I feel will determine the level of detail in your sketch. It can range from simple to more complex depending…

This is the Moleskine Pocket Storyboard notebook. 3 1/2″ by 5 1/2″ with 80 sheets of thick card stock-like paper. I bought this when I started getting into name brand notebooks and naively thought Moleskine was a high end brand. Well I guess it is, but as you all know the quality isn’t what it used to be but I didn’t know this when I bought it until afterwards. I fell for the expert brand marketing that these notebooks were used by “Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin.” It looks like they updated their site information…

The Canson 5.5 x 8.5 is my first sketchbook of this size. The above picture is the most current photo I have of it. Please excuse all the edges and dog-eared corners. XD This sketchbook is about 5 years old so I think it’s lasted a good amount of time and I’m still using it. I want to try to use it up as much as possible before I move on. I didn’t bring it everywhere but I did bring it along for a lot of trips. Fits well into a bag or a purse, much better than my larger…
Leave a Comment(Sorry for the late post. I had it all typed out and I meant to schedule it for Friday but forgot…>_<;;) Becca, the author of a great and useful comic blog I follow (Nattosoup.blogspot.com) had asked several good questions on Twitter. She asked webcomic friends: How’d you get inspired, how was your start, how have you kept it going? Well I thought those were some great questions and thought I’d share with you all how I became addicted attached to comics/manga. 🙂 My Start How I first came across manga-styled art was actually when I was younger and watched cartoons.…

I’ve been thinking about stories and how predictable they can be. I know a lot of you are creators/comic artists/writers, and if you’ve done your studying on creating a good story you would know the basics of a good story structure. Then based on that certain structure a writer could create good stories and plots. Good story-tellers follow them and great story-tellers follow and break them. Lately I’ve found that I can predict some, not all, story plots in movies or TV shows. There are a few well told stories where I’m pleasantly surprised by the ending. That just increases…

As the title says, this is a small sketch dump of old or ugly sketches. This post is quite embarrassing but this is pretty much how some of my sketch pages look like. lol Not all are this ugly but they can be uglier sometimes. XD The first image below is a character I was drawing that my brother and I created but turned out she has too much attitude than what he wanted in the character. He wanted a more timid character so that she could grow. I like my girls strong. lol Ok, I was messing with some…

(Note: This is an old post but still relevant. Had planned to write this in 2011 but haven’t got to it until now. Going to do some reviews of tools I use for my creativity. 🙂 Just for my personal progress and for fun. 😀 ) I wanted to start a journal this year (2011) but didn’t realize the types of journals there were or even what made up a “good” journal. I had several journals already stored at home and ready for use but I never had the nerve to use them because I didn’t know what to write…
