How To Draw Comics

A single comic book page can take a long time to illustrate, let alone an entire book. As comic book artists it's vital that we develop the ability to be patient with our work. To stick in there and see it through until the end - all the while putting our best foot forward.

In this video, I'll share 5 useful tips to help you have more patience with your art so that you can reinforce your focus and do the very best work possible.

Thanks for watching, until next time – keep on drawing!

Join us for Ed's first hosting attempt at the HTDCs podcast! Ed welcomes Bryan Silverbox to the program. Bryan is best known for being a cover artist for Scout Comics, but also for his work with Topps and Upper Deck.

In this episode these two 40 somethings let loose on a variety of topics... from drawing and dating, to changes in the comic book market, to tabling at Cons. Be sure to give a listen and maybe put in the ear buds... the old guys' language can get a bit out there at times!

In our latest episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast, Ed Foychuk and I caught up to discuss the topic of 'laziness', and how to avoid it so you can meet those impending deadlines!

If you want to make money from your art, chances are you're going to take on more than a few art commissions throughout your career.

But more importantly, you'll have to be motivated, and a true professional to get them back to your clients on time.

That's not always easy!

Especially when you're held down by the very human condition known as laziness. We've all felt it, and more often than not. Truth is it never really goes away, our default mode tends to be lazy.

The trick is prevailing none the less. Putting your nose to the grind stone and knocking out what needs to be done.

Easier said then done right?

It most certainly is, which is why we'll be sharing our best techniques and strategies in the hopes of helping you kick the habit of laziness a little easier.

Because most of the time that's all laziness really is. A habit. And that's what makes it so difficult to get ourselves back in the game when we're at our least productive.

In today's episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast I’m joined by a very special guest - Michael Pedro. Michael is an animation art director and concept designer for video games and film; specializing primarily in environment, character and creature design.

He is also one of our newest instructors on How to Draw Comics . net, so I thought we’d invite him onto the show today to discuss his career as an artist, how he got started, who he learned from, and how he went about honing his skill set.

I hope you enjoy the episode and take away a ton of value - it truly was an honor to have Michael join us on the show.

Welcome to another episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast! The topic of today is 'Sex in Comics'!

How do people generally feel about comic books with heavy sexual themes? Is there a line that can be be crossed, and if so where do we draw it? What's the difference between art which is sexually themed and nudity?

These are the very same questions we as admins of the How to Draw Comics Facebook group consider everyday when moderating the content which is posted. So we thought it deserved a conversation.

After all, sex, art and story have been tightly tied together for eons. It's one of the inbuilt core drives we have as human beings. And it's really no wonder that NSFW orientated comic book titles are doing so well on crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter and IndieGoGo.

We hope you enjoy this episode and get a ton of value out of it. As always thanks for listening, and until next time - Keep on practicing and keep on creating.

In today's episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast we're joined by a very special guest - Marc Brunet.

Marc is a successful artist, instructor and entrepreneur who has worked for some of the largest studios in the world. But that's not what he's most known for.

Over the years Marc has built up his learning platform Cubebrush into a go to educational resource for artists across multiple industries. Whether it be comic books, concept design or 3d modelling, Cubebrush's vast library of curated courses offers something for everyone.

Most notably, Marc has just completed his hit course 'Art School' - a carefully structured curriculum of lessons that promises to give you the same education you'd expect to find in a traditional art school for a fraction of the price.

Throughout this episode Marc will share his background as an artist, explaining how he started and ultimately made his way into the industry. He'll talk about his journey from working inside a well established studio, to risking it all on a business venture that set the stage for his success as an entrepreneur.

I hope you enjoy the episode and take away a ton of value - it truly was an honor to have Marc join us on the show.
