I want to get in a lot more sketching practice. So please suggest something for me to draw and post here.There are only ten slots open right now. Just about anything goes (within reason). So comment on this post, one request per comment, one request per person. I will be able to view IPs, so no cheating, neh?

There are ten additional slots at my DeviantART page. This will give me a grand-total of twenty sketches.

That was a couple of days ago, meaning there is one slot left on my site if someone wishes to take it. I’ll be posting the sketches on my site and on my dA, so keep an eye out!

Yes, that was quite a shameless plug on my part, but I think that’s perfectly fair.

One of my goals with this site was to eventually start workshops on creating comics, as well as discussions on their artistic merits.

Now. I am in no way an expert, but I’ve learned a lot about pacing over time, and I always stress that to all my creator friends. Seriously, if you don’t pace your work well, you run the risk of having a lopsided story, or something that feels too rushed. I know from experience, I’ve had a bad habit of restarting comics because I didn’t page my work properly.

Thus, you should check out this article from the official Star Wars website about comparison of the Star Wars: A New Hope manga and the Marvel comics adaptation. I own one of the New Hope volumes, and it is QUITE an inspiration. I am glad this article was written. Be sure to check it out if you’re serious about your work.

On another note, would you guys be interested in some posts that focus on art, writing and other aspects of creating comics? Would you prefer just focusing on existing webcomics? Maybe you’d like to see how outside materials apply to the art form?

Please, share your thoughts with us.

Hey gang, Poinko here to drop you a quick note that starting in the Art Attack forum, we’ve begun a series of weekly drawing exercises called Weekly Workout for you to participate in! There’s no prizes or anything, unless you prize trying out something new and possibly becoming better at art. And really, why wouldn’t you prize that?!

Head on over to the forums (or register if you haven’t!), and participate in our first Weekly Workout!

Hey gang, Poinko here for another round of Weekly Workout! This week’s challenge in the forums is: draw a tree holding something. It can be any kind of tree holding any kind of object. The idea is to challenge yourself and have fun! If you want to participate, head over to the forums and get to drawin’!
