According to HNTRAC the best way to be able to draw hands is to draw hands. Meaning, no matter how bad you are, if you keep drawing them you'll get better. And the more you draw the better you will get anyway. Look at today's comic for many webcomics, than look at their first comic. The difference i...

Questions and statements!

I letter myself, but I'm very bad at it. Does anyone have any advice on using fonts to letter, and how you make the speech bubbles if you do?

Any and all lettering techniques welcome!

My best lettering so far has been in pencil first and inked over.

Archive Pages: I have a better archive tempate uploaded to the server, but I don't know how to get the archive pages to use it.

Even the worst comics have their d...

"Go somewhere and start writing" Good point. I've been drawing little comics since I was twelve, and I really like how I can look back on what I used to do and how I do things now. I don't do nearly as much practice as I should, but I think I've reached the point where people can read my work and s...

Just wondering.
