Happy New Year to all you comic crusaders out there! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I suspect you've got some mighty ambitious goals for your comic art in 2025 - and with the fire that's burning in your belly, I bet you're not just gonna hit them... no, you'll clock em' good and…
I'm constantly blown away by the talent and passion in our How to Draw Comics Community. Ed Foychuk and Mike Van Orden just wrapped up our latest drawing challenge in the Facebook Group, "Cover a Cover," where artists had to create their own spin on an iconic comic book cover.…
This is so damn good!
Digital enhancements. More blacks and textural cleanup to improve the overall read.
The reason I love the comic book medium so much, is it expands the storytelling potential of art. It ups the immersion of a single window into the mind of a creator - and gives you an entire sequence of expression. But this also means that becoming a masterful comic artist is…
This was a fun set of illustrations to draw. Glad ya like her Rob!

You know what I love about Ed Foychuk as a comic art instructor? He just makes everything so... easy. Seriously, in the latest lesson he taught in the Academy, he showed us this incredibly simple way to approach coloring comics. I was sitting there, kinda amazed, wondering how…
An inspiration to many.
17 years ago today we lost a legend, a friend, a brother. 17 years onward, we've continued to keep his legacy and memory alive. For Mike, always.
You heard the man!

Korey did a killer job on this cover. Proud of you bro!
🔥 Back when @KoreyBarton101 told me my books needed more babes, I took his advice—and hired him! Now his Gun Goth cover is our top seller on Indiegogo… and it's easy to see why 😈 No one draws hotter babes than Korey. Add one of Barton's Babes to your collection! 👉…
Let’s be honest about something we've all struggled with... You can spend hours getting a character looking absolutely kick-ass in a close-up. Every muscle, every costume detail, the expression - it's all there, looking powerful and polished. But then you have to draw that same…
Looking good Pete!

How cool would it be if you had a mentor who could show you how to make your artwork even more AWESOME!? That's the kind of experience you'll have when you join the How to Draw Comics Academy - just like Jamie here. Jamie submitted this gorgeous super-heroine for feedback in…
Imagine having the most bad-ass idea brewing inside your head, but not being able to get it down onto the page... not the way you imagine it; not in all it's epic awesomness. That was the case for Giovanni Mills, one of our students in the How to Draw Comics Academy. As you…
Sometimes I wonder how many artists quit right before things were about to click. They were so close! But they gave up. Thought they weren’t talented enough or that they’d never get it. Talent never had anything to do with it... Patience. Guidance. Reps. The right kind of…
Panel pacing is one of those invisible skills that can make or break your comic. In this new lesson inside the How to Draw Comics Academy, I walk you through the process of turning a short script into a dynamic, well-paced comic book page. From rough thumbnails to refined…
Such a fun piece to work on.
