deviantID

I like comics, painting and film. I have a bachelor's degree in fine arts with a concentration in painting. I'm interested in iconographic, independent comics. I'm not super good with computer-based art stuff, but I try. I like to draw people.

It's good you're working! It's completely understandable. No worries.

I'll probably talk to you tomorrow then.

I read your deviant ID and it sounds almost exactly like me!

If you're interested I've kinda been piecing together a how-to for graphic novels in my journal.

It's nothing great yet, just a lot of little pointers and ideas that may spark a thought. I'm always open to new additions if you have any recommendations!

Yeah I checked out your journal. There's some good stuff in there!

I think as far as the writing side of comics go, you just have to write about things you're passionate about, as well as subjects that you know a lot about. I would assume those would make the best stories. You know the ones that come natural.

And then just study from the artists you love. And take the things about their work that you love and put it into yours. That usually works the best for me.

Keep up the good work!!!

And thanks for the watch!

Hey, how come we all avoid the scraps, i think they're a more honest expression of an artist style and a chance to reverse-engineer the process, sooooo, give the scraps a chance people. [link] Hey, i look at yours
