After 3 years, it's happening (WIP)
Someday I'd like to spend time to identify the visual-literary devices unique to comics and put them all in a list. Something that goes beyond appropriating terms from other media, and beyond just describing the format.

Sometimes I wish more comics, animation and books geared for older adults were kinder, optimistic and unashamedly passionate rather than going for the edgy, MORE violence, MORE sexy, MORE crude jokes a.k.a "mature" take they resort to when they know children are not allowed

Hey want to be a cool artist? Whenever you start to feel pain, even a LITTLE BIT, in your hand or your soul, stop drawing. Tell your editor. Extend that deadline. Lock that laptop or ipad in a high security vault. STOP DRAWING.

A THREAD ON HOW I PERSONALLY WRITE PITCHES FOR GRAPHIC NOVELS. Based on this tweet of mine. For anyone who is confused about making pitches as I was not too long ago.
One of the hardest things about comics that I'm glad to have finally gotten the hang of is writing pitches. It's not elevator-pitch style (don't ask me to do that), but it's concise and has the goldilocks ratio of information needed. (3 pages divided into 6 sections)

No shade on Webtoon creators cos WTH I sympathise with you all, but having to produce 50 - 70 panels (6 - 10 pages) a week is so exploitative?? Like, that's.... not normal. Nor is that healthy burnout-wise. Who on earth set those terms and are they paying you enough??

Reminder for newbie comics artists, esp if starting a webcomic and thinking of future printing
- plan & draw your pages with bleed & trim size
- commit to the same page size for a story
- if you handletter do it nicely; if you use fonts, get a license. Or make your own.
