There's a version of the future where we stop making comics. Then we open our messages and see someone telling us our comic got them through a rough week – and suddenly that future feels impossible.
You reading this right now, you're part of the reason we're still here. If you'd like to make that reason a little more official (and a lot more sustainable), our Patreon is the place:

Quite a last minute announcement on this Tumblr, but I will be hosting a panel/conversation with Scott McCloud, Neil Cohn and Nick Sousanis pretty soon - as part of the Cartoonist Cooperative's Nib & Ink Festival.
Register here!
Join cartoonist and comics devices curator Reimena Yee as she introduces the work of comics scholars and educators Scott McCloud (Understanding Comics), Dr. Neil Cohn (Speaking in Pictures) and Nick Sousanis (Unflattening). Together they will discuss the exciting developments in comics academia, and how cartoonists and academics benefit from each other’s expertise.

Compiled some basic information I know about drawing fat characters for beginners since I've been seeing more talk about absence of really basic traits in a lot of art lately.
Morpho Fat and Skin Folds on Archive.org (for free!)
draw more fabulous fat people.
not my tweet but I thought it would be a good psa for artists here too
Oh this is a common scam I find at work. Any file that:
isn't jpg, jpeg, pdf, or png
Is a file extension you don't recognise (this one is a visual basic file, used for scripting, but others like exe or bat are used)
has a very low or unexpected file size (this one's is less than 1KB, or 0.001MB, a good reference should be at least 500KB)
Is likely a scam. Stay safe kids.

KOL MY NAME WEBCOMIC IS UP! 🔥
You can read it ➡️ HERE ⬅️
And please, share ❤️ This means a lot to me, thank you!
***********************
After dying (more or less) Kol finds himself in a liminal state from which he longs to escape. But to transcend to the Underworld, he needs to recover something very important that belongs to him. To do so, he will be aided by two dearest ones… One will journey across the surface, under the sun, in search of the missing piece. The other will follow him down through the dark galleries of the soul, to bring Kol’s entire story to light… piece by piece.
Thracian magic, ancient rituals, secrets, promises, Hecate, the Great Goddess and her Son-Sun, gods and goddesses, poison, fire, flowers, snakes, wolves, cats, rebellions, battles, long voyages across the seas, Kings and Queens, betrayal, blood, ecstasy, violence, life, sex, death and, above all: Love.
All of this comprises Kol's story, told in his own voice.

Oh.
To call WT's actions "antics" would be reducing the severity of what they're doing to creators. This is unacceptable behavior and it should be all the more reason for creators to start exploring other career paths outside of WT. For years they've been meticulously crafting an environment where people believe that WT is the only path to success, where WT controls the degree of success creators can achieve, from the manipulation of the promotional system to the lack of tagging and proper search functions on the app. Now that they've boiled the frog to this point, they're cashing out by flooding the platform with cheap imports, implementing AI tools, and of course, trying to use their contracts as a way to trap creators and keep them from owning their own IP's and maximizing on their own success.
I said it before and I'll say it again - Webtoons is planning to go public with their IPO this summer, so it would be a real shame if creators spoke up about the underhanded tactics used by WT to keep them from finding success in their own works. At the very least, it should serve as a reminder to all of us that companies like these can't amass billions without exploiting people along the way.
South Korea’s leading online platform operator Naver Corp. plans to list shares of Los Angeles-based affiliate Webtoon Entertainment Inc. o
We can't even use "they're creating jobs for comic creators" as a reason to want to see WT succeed in spite of their flaws anymore because they're literally ruining people's careers, cutting them off before they've even started. That's not the platform being "flawed", that's the platform and the system it's built on being broken, full stop.
No beef with anybody who still uses WT (we all gotta eat) but just a heads up, and a reminder to always retain 100% owership of your IP
Here's a comic i made many many years ago, and never posted online or really showed off anywhere until right now.
It's based heavily on The Wolf That Only You Can See (so much so that that's what it's called), an ongoing illustration series i've done for years and years.
It's about invisible struggles and the things we carry, on our own or with the help and support of others.
If i could i'd draw it again, but it is what it is and i hope you can enjoy it for that ♥︎
If you'd like to see more Wolfves, i have a tag for them. If you'd like to support my work, here is my Patreon.

Some fun news: I finally built a standalone webcomic site for my lesbian horror-romance graphic novel in progress, The Goblin Throne! Two out of three parts of this comic are already complete, and can be read in their entirety for free on the site. Part 3, the finale, is coming this summer!
If you've previously been following this comic as I've updated it in chunks across various social media platforms (here, instagram, bsky...), this is the first time you can read the whole dang thing in just one place!
What is this "Goblin Throne", you ask??
The Goblin Throne is a three-part queer horror fable, told from three different perspectives! It's a story about finding out your mom broke a secret, violent pact with the ancient queen of the goblins, and that pact now involves you; and it's a story about a young hotheaded woman getting in waaaay over her head after she strikes a bargain with a dangerous monster; AND it's a story about what you're capable of doing after having your heart unceremoniously broken, when you happen to be said dangerous monster...
I've been working on this comic for the past three years, and Part Three -- the longest part of the story yet by far -- will be released this summer, in conjunction with a Kickstarter for a print version of the whole book, published by Iron Circus Comics! Now's a great time to read through Parts One & Two, to get up to speed before the finale drops. It's my best, nastiest, and sexiest work to date, and it's gonna be a doozy :)

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Comparing Heights. Input the heights of characters to see what the different is between them. Great for keeping consistency. Free.
Magma. Draw online with friends in real time. Great for practice or hanging out. Free, paid plan available, account preferred.

SketchDaily. Lots of pose references, massive library, is set on a timer so you can practice quick figure drawing. Free.
SculptGL. A sculpting tool which I am yet to master, but you should be able to make whatever 3d object you like with it. free.
Pexels. Free stock images. And the search engine is actually pretty good at pulling up what you want.
Figurosity. Great pose references, diverse body types, lots of "how to draw" videos directly on the site, the models are 3d and you can rotate the angle, but you can't make custom poses or edit body proportions. Free, account option, paid plans available.
Line of Action. More drawing references, this one also has a focus on expressions, hands/feet, animals, landscapes. Free.
Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.
Height Weight Chart. You ever see an OC listed as having a certain weight but then they look Wildly different than the number suggests? Well here's a site to avoid that! It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.
Homie gonna share this
