I thought I'd get a topic going where people can post a little bit about his/her artistic process and what tools he/she uses when creating a comic.I'll get started to show what I mean...When I do my weekly,- I start out with a rough script/dialogue…
"Thanks for the info. I didn't know they could do that, but I prefer to scan it in myself so I can make sure it's where I want it on a page, and at the dpi I want it to be."
"I just wondering, have you thought about have UPS Store scan your BLP page into jepg file and save into jumpdrive or burn into disc. So that you don't use your scanner into your computer and save you more time."
"Ooo, forgot to mention I have a Wacom now, too, a little one, but it gets the job done. I'm still learning how to use it, mostly use it for doing hair. Another tool the Dear Husband provided me with and taught me how to use. Hmm, guess he's a…"
"HEY! I use COMICWORKS too for tones. It's so cool! For coloring I use
CG illust.ver.2 . I have Corel Painter X ( 10 ) but haven;t taken the time to learn all the different brushes yet. I also have Photoshop 3 Elements but use it mostly for pasteing…"
"*First, I get some lined paper like you use for school. Then I partition it into however many panels per page it feels like should be there.
*Then I write the script.
*After that I take a Blue Line Pro page and use a ruler to pencil in the panels.…"
"I'm pretty skeptical about any heavily underpriced version of Photoshop (as far as legitimacy)... that said, look around, because there are many much CHEAPER alternatives that should get the job done just as well too (again, ArtRage is one of my…"
"Actually- Many many pro comic artists these days use fonts- very few do lettering (but agreed that some do). You can find a great deal of good comic lettering fonts at www.dafont.com or, create your own even. I make all my word balloons using paths…"
"Hi there! I only do comics up to the storyboard level, but if anyone wants to try doing them this way... I recommend to all aspiring writers to practice storyboarding. It gives you a feel for the amount of space your dialogs are going to take up on…"
"How I get started is by I come up with a title. Next I start with an outline. Then I get a bible find a script that fits that story that I'm trying to tell then start writing."
"Thanks so much! Tell your friends ;) Yours is great too- love the jokes, and the stick figures add alot to the humor... reminds me of the infamous work of Don Hertzfeldt :)"
Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new Board members. I wanted to stop in and say thanks for being involved with CCAS! If you have any input or would like to be involved with anything in particular, please let me and Eric Jansen (Membership Coordinator for CCAS) know by contacting us both through the site. We'll be making several announcements in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. To see a bit more about me, check out my profile here on the site. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.
Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
Heehee--Monte's just my "brother in Christ." Right now his computer's down and he's unable to get online very often or I'd get him to sign up here and you guys could connect that way. Next time I get a chance to talk to him by phone, though, I'll tell him about you.
Thanks so much! Tell your friends ;) Yours is great too- love the jokes, and the stick figures add alot to the humor... reminds me of the infamous work of Don Hertzfeldt :)
