We have a chat about historicity in this Quackcast. What IS historicity? It's historical authenticity basically but a nicer way of saying it! It's pretty ...

One of the latest twitter dramas seem to be around artistic shortcuts, and how consumers of comics and webcomics (often non-artists) tend to scoff at any artist that dares admit they use them.

Comic shortcuts could include pre-rendered backgrounds, using 3D programs to arrange spaces or make sure perspective is ...

The last of the “big four” personality theories is that of the Humanistic school of thought.

I usually only pick one of the big contributors in each of the major schools of thought to give you the gist of the approach, but for this one I want to include two ...
