AAAA vs artist 2025

BoC update! Happy new year? (sorry for the extra suspense...) This year has been big for both BoC and my confidence. Have been more brave to share my work with others both in IRL and online. Here's to 2026~! Read: tapas.io/episode/3739... [ #boc-comic #boc-comic-update #webcomic #webcomics ]

Main goals for 2026: - Finish the first book of my webcomic "Book of Change". - Try to get that first book printed (although getting it out might take a bit). - Start sketching and working on the second book~

2026 is going to be my year and that is a threat (I listened to Hopes and Dreams on repeat making this)

another tutorial! this time breaking down atmospheric perspective. there's a photo below that you can use to try these techniques out for yourself! shout out to @leognyc.bsky.social for taking these photos and letting me use them. (and check out my graphic novel~ bookshop.org/p/books/hung...)

One of my pet peeves is when people read 200-page comics and call them “a short comic” or “a quick read”. 200 PAGES IS NOT SHORT, don’t they know just how long comics take to make?!

Managed to finally fill out my sketchbook this year! Been doodling on this same sketchbook since 2018. I keep drawing on post-its, so the sketchbook is VERY THICK. I fear the fate of my new one. Unfortunatelly no sketchbook tour because spoilers. [ #boc-comic #webcomic #sketchbook #sketch #art ]

A quick post-it doodle for the holidays. Please take time to rest. Maybe chill a bit with a nice (and hopefully more cooperative) book or two~ [ #boc-comic #webcomic #webcomics #doodle ]

Merry #MeetTheWebcomic day! A dead tired programmer finds an old locked book. To his horror, the book turns out to be magical and not a huge fan of being locked up. "Book of Change" is a weird mix of sci-fi themes, shapeshifting magical books and bitter sweet feels~ tapas.io/series/Book-...

Every artist, get more self indulgent NOW! Draw your ships kissing, draw your blorbos, draw that idea you’ve been putting off (you’re good enough to do it!!!), redraw that old art, draw yourself wearing a cool outfit, draw a better world- just draw!!!

this feels like a universal thing i experience all the time lol

“i have to use AI because i’m bad at drawingggg 😭😭😭”

Sometimes I marvel at the miracle that is webcomics, every page update someone manages to put up is a gift considering The State Of Things in this world🤌💖

AI art enthusiasts lack the humility necessary in order to produce good art. You have to be willing to put yourself forward in a sincere, vulnerable manner to get from a rough thumbnail to a final beautiful result

NEW VIDEO! Wanna get into doing artist alley? I've been doing it for years and wrote up a list of 50+ tips on how to succeed! youtu.be/2m7dj4adBAU

Seen "we choose our favorite characters because we see ourselves in them" meme doing rounds. Wanted to give it a try, but without a video. Don't often post fan art but this was fun. Quick and messy sketchbook doodles, because my hand is already mad at me. [ #art #fanart #character ]

Artists, QRT with your faces!

I'll gladly try to answer any questions about my comicing process the best I can. Although I have still lot to learn too. :)

So my first tip for this is just Read a Lot of Comics. have comics in your bookshelf (real or virtual) that you can flip through for inspiration and see how other artists are working and what/how they fit visuals into a panel. I read a lot of manga on my phone, and every time i see a page that--

'tis the season

Me: how do you like me drawing myself for this comic? Mom: you look anxious....

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone. I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

Even self-care can turn into another stressful job. This is just a little reminder to take the pressure off when you can. It’s okay to just be sometimes. 🐾

Must work… but cannot focus…

My rule of thumb for comic bgs is to make at least the establishing shot’s bg detailed & clear; the rest of the bgs on that page can be drawn in shorthand, if you’re low on time/resources YMMV but comickers aren’t paid enough to draw all high-detail bgs, & the bg will prob be covered by text anyway

Seeing comic artists try to be art influencers on social media is so tragic because comics take effort on the part of the viewer to enjoy (reading) and aren't as instantly captivating as videos/animation.

Mood 💀 #comic

Currently sketching out pages for the next chapter and remembered this comic I made in '21 😅 Definitely feeling this right now lol

BoC update! Had fun drawing the very dramatic backgrounds for this page~ Just... don't ask me about exact the layout of this library. :'D Read here: tapas.io/episode/3701... [ #boc-comic #boc-comic-update #webcomic #webcomics ]

Happy #SmallBusinessSaturday 🛍️ Don't procrastinate if you're ordering gifts for the holidays! Thanks for supporting my shop and other artists this year. I know times are tough for everybody. 💕 shop.breelundberg.com

Yes, & also: Write down ALL your fun ideas and keep em in one place (notes app, notebook, word doc, etc). Including the ones you end up *not* using for your story. Refer to it next time you get writer’s/artist’s block. You’ll find a perfect use for each idea eventually, be it now or 5 yrs from now

This was a huge challenge—capturing the 90s Image vibe of Jim Lee and Scott Williams and the era’s distinct coloring. Luckily, my amazing friend Laura Martin swooped in and added all the shiny Wildstorm/Image zazz I hoped for. Thank you so much, Laura! Squeee!
