LISTEN NOW! @inkpulp and I answer a TON of questions about making comics and our upcoming class GRAPHIC NOVEL PRO! youtube.com/live/WKRdp6V9G…
I can't tell you how many hours I've spent studying the sequence this page is from.
cc @danielwarrenart You've got to see this in person! Layouts for that incredible knife fight sequence! (Though I think this particular exhibit item is a reproduction).
Some great advice here from @mrjakeparker about the importance of CLARITY in comic book storytelling (a word I use all the time when describing the fundamentals of sequential art). ⬇️ youtu.be/6b21Fmn3leE?si…
The only problem with Andor is how it changes your perception of other Star Wars stories. No, I'm not talking about tone. I love the Droid episodes in the Clone Wars, I love Rebels, I love Star Wars at its most mythological and goofy. This is purely a quality thing. Why do…

I can not wrap my head around doing a print run of 5,000,000 copies and selling half of those since Dec. Dog Man is a force! What are these 7 years olds going to be reading when they outgrow Dog Man??🤔
Dav Pilkey's latest Dog Man graphic novel, Big Jim Begins, sold 2.5 million copies since going on sale in December last year 🔗 ift.tt/WR2KCSI
If it’s not delivered to my house in one of these I don’t want it.
Target actually had some Pokemon booster packs on the shelf last night so I picked up some and look at this cool Quaxwell I pulled:
I asked this on IG and YT, too. So many heartfelt responses. The main takeaway for me here is that everyone really wants to make comics, but there's some very real obstacles in the way. The main one is NO TIME. Lots for me to think about!
My comic process videos are so popular they’re still getting views years later, I thought I’d make some more. So let me know what you’re struggling the most with when it comes to making comics.
