Mark was called away and couldn’t be on the show this week, so I wind up flying solo. Well, not exactly–good friends Shawn Robare and Sally Scott show to keep things interesting. We talk about one of the topics I posted on this week’s Google Document, namely character design, which tributaries out into a discussion on writing story bibles.
I also have a book recommendation for this week - Vanishing Point, Perspective for Comics From the Ground Up, by Jason Cheeseman-Meyer.
We’re joined in the chat by Largopredator, Matt Munn, Audra, Kevin Cross, Snapshot, and The Blog Comics.

This week we posted our topics in a Google Document, which we’ll probably do for all future shows. We wind up talking about digital coloring techniques, drawing “through” our comics panels, and the various techniques and affordances we have to give our characters unique voices. We close out with a small discussion on the role and function of themes in comics storytelling. We’re joined in the audio by Sally Scott and Anthony Harris, and in the chat by Largopredator, Matt Munn, Audra & Scott, Shawn Robare, Kevin Cross, Jarmo, and The Blog Comics.
During our talk about lettering, we discuss one of Sally’s pages, seen here.
We have a coloring tutorial provided by Audra. As we amass more we’ll post them in this thread:
