If you enjoy any of these webcomics I encourage you to reblog this post or reblog their works. Most if not all of the comics mentioned rely on word of mouth to grow their audiences. All of these wonderful creators deserve to have their stories seen and heard and you can help by spreading the word!
The difference between a beginner’s comic and an experienced artist’s
comic comes down to the details, and one of the biggest “invisible”
details is proportion.
How does an artist utilize page and
panel layout, negative space, word balloons and composition to their
best advantage? This Shingworks tutorial covers all of this information,
and the 19-page supplement worksheet and comic proportion analysis
template .psd takes it a step further and teaches you how to analyze
real comics so that you can apply these principles to your own comics :]
My Patreon tutorials are unlocked to the public 6 months after their original
publication month. You can find the full high-resolution archive of monthly tutorials at
my Patreon!Thanks again to my Patrons for supporting me in the creation of my own comics, The Meek and Mare Internum.
