I may not be the authority on drawing backgrounds in comics. However, I did spend about two years taking several classes centered around perspective drawing so I do know a little bit more than the average bear. The idea that I have is this, as comic makers, we enjoy telling ...

I have been trying to avoid the real world news the last few weeks because it just goes from bad to worse to even more worse. Just last night, there was a large earthquake in Northern California, Iceland is getting ready for another volcanic eruption, and Dr. Hammond from Jurassic ...

HippieVan at 12:00AM, July 25, 2014
After some drama with the website the other day (I'm sure most of you noticed that the site was down for a time) and some cleverness on the part of ozoneocean, I'm writing my first newspost with DD officially under community control.
I'm pretty darn excited, and ...

kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, March 31, 2014
Last week I was able to chat with lifetime DrunkDuck member Locoma about his process in selecting comics for his Anti-Featured comic. As a fellow featured comic reviewer and fan of underdog comics, I had a lot of curiosity going into the interview about the underground feature reviewer. Plenty of ...
Drawing Music and Its Impact on Webcomic Art
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, March 24, 2014
The world is a noisy place. It makes little difference whether noise is coming from a construction site outside the window, loud neighbors in a crowded apartment, or the supposedly “quiet” times in the middle of the night when the sounds of the crickets outside are amplified ten fold. I ...
FRIDAY NEWSPOST - Abandoned Webcomics Nostalgia
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Feb. 7, 2014
It's one of the great tragedies of webcomics the way ‘real life’ so often gets in the way of our comic work.
I was going through my list of favourites the other day; having been here nearly 6 years now, it has gotten pretty unwieldy to the point that ...
