Question that's been on my mind lately: is freehanding the natural course of pencil drawing (ie: start with basic shapes, then anatomy, then templates, then improvisation, then freehanding, no templates) or is it a technique for those who learned
Years ago while attending a commercial art class a fellow student and I were discussing comic book artists we admired. This fellow student was not only a comic book fan but, also a very gifted artist. He had exceptional skills in penciling, inking, a
"David Crane" was a comic strip about a minister, written by Ed Dodd and drawn by Creig Flessel. Ed Dodd also wrote "Mark Trail" which has often had genuinely reverent moments in it (see the "Mark Trail" strip that I uploaded to this forum several m
Okay, this has seriously been on my heart lately. Has anyone ever thought about the gamer community? Okay, I was never a legit gamer in the area of combat-like mmorpgs or anything, but...I was quite a bit a gaming addict. XD

I'm certainly not saying that the following stories in SECRET ORIGINS #10, published by DC Comics in 1987, are theologically sound, but at a quick glance they seem to be reverent which, even by the 1980s in secular comics, was something more than a r
Hey Amazing people!So I am starting to dive into the drawing, coloring, shading, etc & researching the latest and greatest tools that it seems the industry is using. Do any of you use Manga Studio, Poser, or DAZ3D?Looks like these tools are game chan
I've yet to see a film or comics adaptation that is utterly faithful to Daniel Defoe's classic novel ROBINSON CRUSOE. This one from Classics Illustrated #10 in 1957 does keep some of it intact, though, as you can see in the panels above.
As I shared in another recent post, the early '70s was the time of "the Jesus movement" and even secular media, including comics, could not ignore what was happening. This Robin solo story backup, "Soul-Pit", which appeared in Batman #239 in 1972 ha

My name is Chris and while searching around for various forums to attract artists to a project I'm producing I came across CCCAS and I was very impressed, not to say I'm a big dawg or anything like that.
