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--

STOP! 🛑⛔🚫✋ Before you start rendering that full colour comic page, have you asked yourself if it would look better as Just Flats?

Related to this, begging artists to please sell your music somewhere I can actually download it with no drm (like bandcamp) so I can throw money at you bc I prefer to listen to music offline The amount of times I could not even donate to an artist is really high!!

Opened Twitter for the first time in a while just to dig up this tweet of theirs I adore

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical. You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

I think most artists hit a point where they’re like, well if I can’t be the best artist, I shall be the most ME artist.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Very, very few comic book creators can survive on just the money they make from comics. It is an inherently unstable job and it is only getting worse as time goes on. Don't ever be embarrassed or ashamed of needing another job so that you can keep making comics.

Fandom isn’t your job. Take a month off. Take 3 years off. Post incomplete fics. Post incomplete art. Never post again. Switch fandoms. Stay loyal to one fandom only. Do whatever tf you want. You literally make all the rules of engagement in this arena.

CSP's antialias settings for almost every tool and brush is probably the best invention ever

Comic artist struggles

Highly recommend: throwing any and all creatives a DM/comment/email to let them know how their work touched you, whether now or in the past. I never expect a reply. But doing this regularly not only helps others see their art is valued, but improves your own confidence & connection.

I think sometimes you gotta stop worrying about the quality of the work you do and just let the process tickle your fancy in whatever way you need it to at the moment

do you know what would streamline QA better than genAI ever could? better working conditions in the games so that the people in QA and people improving the things found by QA will be happier, healthier, and more productive at work

This is so funny to me as someone in qa, bc ai really cannot do qa. Its so, so bad at it, like worse than any other possible application (which already isn't great)

Saw a tumblr post saying AI is turned on again in a hidden Google Drive menu, but its not a menu you can find on mobile; its only desktop. anyhoo. here it is with a picture and clearer directions Google Drive > MyDrive > (Gear Icon top right) Settings > Manage Apps [switch off Gemini here]

if you have any ability to do so this is the time to contribute to your local food bank

Wow I just found out Anatomy for Sculptors is creating more in depth books focusing on specific parts. They have heads and arms right now! The original book is my all time favorite anatomy reference book, highly recommend it if you haven't already checked it out
