Since starting Draw. Write. Play., I’ve been studying more and more about the art of making webcomics. It was something I’ve always wanted to do but felt that I needed more guidance in so that I can make my comic the best that it can be. So, I’ve looked over the internet to find articles that could help me become a better writer and comic artist and although I found a lot of articles on making comics, writing, drawing, inking, coloring, and lettering, they were all in different websites. I haven’t found a site that collected all of the useful information that can benefit an aspiring comic creator.I created this blog in order to collect all of those articles and point the aspiring comic creator in the right direction, as well as to share some of the things that I’ve learned from my own experience of creating comics. Although I am certainly not an expert at creating comics myself, I do believe that I can teach others what I’m learning as I’m learning it.

What you can expect in the future from this blog are:

• practical tips and tricks for creating comics, from writing to drawing to publishing and monetizing your comics.
• links to useful articles, resources, and communities for comic creators
• reviews on software and hardware and other useful tools
• productivity tips
• reviews and interviews of notable comic creators
• anything else I can think of that can help in the creation of comics

Since I work mostly on comics for the web, most of the articles that I will be putting up here will be focused on creating webcomics and independent comics. If you’re looking to go into mainstream comics, then this site might offer only little help.

I can’t promise that I can update this blog on a daily basis. I want to focus more on writing better and more useful content than giving half-assed advice everyday. I do hope though that you guys will find the contents of this blog useful.

Happy comic making!
