One of the problems a lot of comics have is limited consistency: They just aren't drawn in the same manner every time. That is, vehicles, bases, even uniforms are drawn different each time. As this creates readership issues, it's something that needs to be worked on. As such, we look at the importance of various details, as well as the basics on how to set up a visual bible, in hopes of maintaining readers and better art.

It's Artists Month once again! Today we are stepping back and looking at the four traditional jobs artists have and how a comic artist can use them to do better comic art. This means looking at the penciller (he who does the roughs), the inker (he who takes it the finals), the colorist (master of tones of gray and color), and the letterer (ninja of the comic world), and how they communicate.

We also look at the visual bible.

Diversity in comics is a touchy subject. On one hand, your comic can only benefit from having a wide range of characters but on the other you want to avoid token characters. We look at the problems with having diversity and how to solve those problems for better comics.

The Law of Nature is that every animal has a niche; when you look at political structures you note that every person fills a niche. We're exploring how people fit into the web of politics, and look at static versus dynamic structures, how political structures change depending on how well established they are, and even look at just how scary a person outside the chain of command can be.

We're looking at politics and some of the stuff that you need to consider if you want some added depth.
