Not rly a resource… but to this day I keep a stack of my fav comics at my desk. If I don’t know what to do, I pick one and I read it, looking for the solution. I try to keep my inspiration pile diverse in style. It keeps me sane to always be able to see how others tackled the same problems!

Do you have any ressources to learn how to draw comics ? Mostly about how to organize panels and such

WHOO, I was accepted to Booktopia, which is a cool crowdfunding event put on by Backerkit in September! My project is going to be a Sombulus omnibus edition combining my first two books, so if you want a somnibus, you can follow the project here: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

You should probably go ahead and make your art, because you're the only one that can do it. Frankly, someone's gonna need it someday

a maybe less obvious one for comics is that if you're only doing the writing, try your hand at thumbnailing 10 pages or whatever. it's not about the quality of the art! it's about learning how to pace, how much text and activity you can fit in a panel. it's about getting a feel for it!

if u see this, quote-post with your tips for writers that no one gives anymore because they seem obvious (even though they're not)
