We've all been told how in story telling, showing is a lot better than telling.

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 6, 2021Top five romance tropes
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Feb. 5, 2021
It’s not surprising that drama and romance are two popular genres when it comes to media. From TV to novels to comics, they draw the audience in with the simple question: “Who is going to end up with who?” Ships set sail, twists get turns and hearts get broken ...
Keeping to a schedule

Maintaining an update schedule is beneficial to your readers and to yourself. Sticking to an update schedule encourages readers to come back. It becomes part of their routine and is often something they look forward to that day. They’ll remain invested in both you and your comic. That is ...
Cartooning With Banes - Focal Points, Characters and some such stuff like that
Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 28, 2021
An advantage of comics as a medium is to be able to use still images to tell the story, and create an impression or feeling in the reader that runs deeper than words can do. Or at least, the images can strengthen the experience and make something people hopefully get ...

It is difficult for me to focus on a drawing project if my desk is in disarray or there is a pile of unsorted objects around me.
I purchase items in multiples. If I see a good ink pen at the office supply store, I pick up multiple four-packs of ...

Traveling down the memory lane archives has taken me back to watching the Tobey Maguire Spiderman trilogy that was released during the early-2000s.

Protagonist, Antagonist and Villain
Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 14, 2021
Over the past couple weeks I watched and loved Cobra Kai. There are multiple articles that I could write about this show.
It's an ensemble cast, and I guess Johnny and Daniel could be called co-Protagonists. I actually think Johnny is the Protagonist, Daniel the Antagonist and Kreese is ...

I Spent Winter Break Playing that Futuristic Game that Takes Place in the Year 2077
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Jan. 11, 2021
Last month, I bit the bullet and downloaded the simulation video game that is at the center of much controversy at the moment because of its performance on older generation console systems. The game in question is Cyberpunk 2077, a game that takes place fifty-seven years in the future where ...
En media res
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Jan. 8, 2021
You’ve got your amazing idea down for a story but how do you begin? You want to make your first chapter amazing! En medias res means opening in the midst of the plot. This way, exposition is bypassed, allowing you to fill it in more gradually, either through dialogue ...
