How have you guys been scheduling time for comics? Well I guess I should mention that I work by stages or phases. I do story/script, thumbnails, blue pencils, ink, bubbles, then tone all separately. I don’t finish page at a time and post it online since that doesn’t seem to work easily for me. I like to do everything at once so I can get a feel of the flow and fix things as I go instead of realizing I made a mistake and go back to fix it after I already finished a page. One of my biggest problems…

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…
1 CommentThis is unfortunately a subject where I’m lacking. I’m kind of used to doing things solo, I mean, I can work in a group too but I always thought of comic-making as a solo thing. That is, unless you’re collaborating with a partner or building a comic in an assembly line(pencils, ink, color, lettering etc). There isn’t a wrong or right way to do it, but during those moments of despair or frustration, a support group would be great to turn to in those times of need. Support groups are those who help give honest critique of your work and…
Leave a CommentCheck out my guest post at Nattosoup’s blog. While you’re there be sure to explore her blog. Very useful and interesting comic-related information! 😀 The topic is “Choosing a Comic Project” and was written based on my experiences. Feel free to comment your opinion and ideas. (was posted last month but I forgot and I didn’t have time to post about it until now, sorry)

Leave a CommentThe image is the concept/brainstorm I did when I did my 24 Hour Comic (which I still am in the process of finishing). Here’s a preview, if you can even decipher it. lol The two main characters, there’s another character I added spontaneously who isn’t in there. Sorry it’s not much but I still hope you enjoy! Ugh, have not been following my game plan at all…Can’t believe it’s December already. I’m not going to do something crazy like try to get a comic project done this month. Although, if I can that would be good but I’m going to…

Heh, yep I’m still sketching once in awhile. ^_~ The image above is a previous scene for a JCP Mission that I thought of after I already had the line art of the other image done. Click here to see the finished image of their reaction. It is basically Eilam whistling while Felix on the left is hollering at some girls while poor Duorick (middle) is stuck appalled. The guys are just cat-calling some girls showing Duorick how to pick up some girls. lol It was fun to do. Anyways, was actually able to get some illustrations done if you’re…
Leave a CommentOMG I totally didn’t mean to drop off the face of the earth. Turns out that a few weeks after SPACE was finals for me. So of course I spent most of my time doing h/w and studying. After next week I’ll be completely done!!! Oh man, I’ve got plans on what I’m going to do with my free time. Mostly comics/drawing, learning more coding/languages(computer and speaking), and enjoying a social life. ^^; Just finished one big test yesterday which I’m iffy about whether or not I did decently or not….Eh, oh well I know I’m going to pass and…

Okie dokie, here is Eilam with Magdelene(belongs to Hatchii), he is serenading her. XD It’s a collaboration between Hatchii and me, this was my sketch idea. I had the idea and she loved it so you can view the finished piece here @ dA. I think it turned out nice. Hatchii did the line art and I colored. 😀 Here is Citlali and Marcus(belongs to Hapa-Haole), this was my sketch idea. She liked how Citlali looked but changed Marcus’s pose which was fine. Hers suited him better. 😀 You can view the finished piece here @ dA. I liked this piece…
