To any traditionally published graphic novel authors out there: Are you supposed to write a completed script before you query literary agents? My research says no (just write a plot outline) but I haven’t seen a definitive answer…

Artists developing OGN pitches, go check out Konner’s editorial services! I sent the story outline for my latest pitch, and their feedback was thoughtful and motivating. After our conversation, I felt confident that I could make a stronger story by implementing their advice. Thank you, Konner! :)

Check out this zine I’m in! It’s all about drawing backgrounds and learning different techniques to make them :)

Adapting books to comics takes more writing chops than people realize, even if the artist doesn’t have to write the story from scratch. If a comic is filled with prose narration that could’ve been drawn or dialogue that hasn’t been adjusted for comic pacing, it’s an illustrated novel, not a comic.

Comics aren’t a stepping stone to film or TV adaptation. Sequential art is a rich and varied medium that doesn’t get a fraction of the respect it deserves ESPECIALLY for the amount of labor that goes into it

i am so tired of the tasks. i want to make the comics

inking wip I’ve been working at for far too long (working on setting up my studio!)

Try to figure out how a scene could work with no dialogue, and then taking breaks, imagine it a couple more times until you get to the most interesting way to show it play out. Now you're telling the story visually. Reward yourself with the possibility of some dialogue

somebody emailed me to ask for tips on finding style, so i'm gonna share my thoughts here, too: first of all, don't worry about what you're good at it, or what you want your art to look like. figure out what's fun about the /process/ for you and lean into those elements!

Comic folks: Share a favorite dumb sfx gag you came up with.

Working on an OGN pitch rn (on my third drafting pass), and it feels so good to get past a plot that feels very very derivative of my favorite books to something that’s unique enough to have my voice in it, all without changing the characters or genre

So, I was laid off by my job this week after 13 years. Not only that, but it happened as bills from my recent heart attack-related medical visits come due. Because of that, I'm doing a big sale for SKTCHD/Off Panel related things, so now's a good time to subscribe if you can...because I need it!

Morning Doodle: “The people would not think of the priest when they said their prayers and heard the church bells chime. They would think of their golden king and whisper of the day he’d come to their village.” (Leigh Bardugo’s King of Scars CH 11)
