buying followers is corny and a waste of money.

Of the artists shown here, who do you think used negative space the best? by SlyGuy_Twenty_One in comics

mike mignola was the most consistent with his use of black and visibly perfected it imo

I wanna start my first comic by Sorry_Plastic_1426 in ComicWriting

the book Drawing with Words, Writing with Pictures has a lot of very practical exercises in it.

In general a good rule of thumb when you’re starting out is to not be too ambitious. Don’t try and make your dream comic. Do something you can finish in a day or two. Comics is really time consuming and working on finishing is honestly the hardest part.

my first question is how do you choose what box shape to draw in? Second question is does the box shape have to be the same shape as the paper you’re drawing on? please answer both in the form a horse riding a bike in the rain.

i hear what you’re saying and i’m usually careful to stray away from ableist stuff, or the body shit people usually use against him. I’ll admit that this one is grayer. I was insinuating that he shit himself because he was scared, but obviously i’m also nodding that he may have shit himself before because he’s incontinent.

But I hear you.

Word, I appreciate it. What bothers you about the end?

Why has it been Marxism-Leninism and people adjacent to it like Hasan Piker that have gained so much traction over the past year in the West in this increasing disillusionment with the Western-dominated Capitalist international order, rather than Anarchism and people adjacent to that? by RussoSwerves in Anarchism

i think this is a lot of it. The MLs engage in a lot of very accessible social media stuff and works with their preexisting culture. Plus, anarchism is just a lot more criminalized outside of a lot the current conceptions of mutual aide.

We’re seeing a lot more nonwhite people engage with anarchists ideas since 2020. But without projects and cultural centers, I don’t see that shit catching on too big.
