How to do comics the Danielle Corsetto way.

Posted by Scott on April 10th, 2007

GWS_Tut

On a recent Girls With Slingshots update Danielle Corsetto posted a “How I Do Comics” tutorial. This strikes me as exciting on a few levels.

  1. Danielle kicks ass (everything else I wrote before was the product of sugar and wishful thinking. I have NOT met Danielle YET!)
  2. GWS is one of my favorite comics and any glimpse of how it’s done makes me happy. I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. It’s not a ground breaking tutorial that makes me say “THAT”S THE TRICK!”. I am a process junkie seeing how she roughs, then she moves on makes me excited to draw. She does do something I don’t and it might be something I change. She adds the word balloons and then the art. I’m the other way.
  3. Like her comic her tutorial is clean well done and presented in a professional fashion. It’s a giant reminder that there are some basic steps I keep skipping that derail my process every time.

So yea I recommend you hop over and check it out. I’m personally going to try her method out and see if it helps me stay on top of updates.

PinkyTA hits 100 strips

Posted by Scott on April 4th, 2007

PinkyTA has reached it’s 100th page today. I want to make sure  we tell OzoneOcean (or Michael Morris) congratulations. Michael is a much more skilled artist then I am and deserves any praise I can lump on him. Completing 100 pages of PinkyTA  is no small task. His style is profesional and clean and PinkyTA has been a blast to read.

Here’s a small example of what I’m talking about. This image is clipped from his bonus art today.

So a big “Way to go Michael” from all of us.
