I made a free* webcomic template site for Carrd! If you want somewhere to host your comic but don’t want to bother with building a new website and having to use plugins then this may be for you! https://carrd.co/build/1f0b12761102c66d

* It’s free from me however, you need at least a PRO LITE Carrd plan ($9/year) to be able to use this template because of the features of this website. You will NOT be able to use this template if you are on Carrd's free plan.

What is Carrd? Carrd is a website builder for only one page site. You can simulate multiple pages however using sections. I have sectioned it for you, all that's left is to customize it to your liking and add your comic!

I did this for fun, just for anyone who wants somewhere else to have their comic in addition to other webcomic host sites like webtoon, tapas etc etc

If you’d like to show your appreciation 🤓🫰

i was wondering if you’d ever think about making a tutorial about lighting and shading? could be b&w! i just, kinda struggle with knowing where to put my light source. i’m still learning so if you know any tips, i’d be grateful! i also look forward to buying all of your other tutorials. thank you so much for sharing your learning process & your art!!! keep up the amazing work. ✨ p.s.: stay hydrated!

AHH tysm!! Yes I do eventually plan on making a tutorial on lighting and shading! Painting too! I'm more into doing classes on those topics so I haven't had the time to make tutorials yet 😔 but hopefully soon!

Hey I saw someone on TikTok selling your Megan/Jolyne design on t-shirts and I wanted to bring it to your attention. The account is GeorgeWeberBoutique and their megan shirt has other stolen fanart on it as well. Didn't know if you authorized it

Ty for letting me know, unfortunately I (and the other artists) have been trying to get them to take down the t-shirts for the past week, idk what to do atp😭 hoping they just take it down 🥲 but if anyone can help me report the acc, thatd help. They keep deleting comments abt it too....

https://www.tiktok.com/@ggeorgeweber?_t=8mDXhXXneJZ&_r=1 this is the acc 🥲

Skintones tutorial is up now!!🫶🏻🫶🏼🫶🏽🫶🏾🫶🏿

200 pages on skintones, skin, and everything in between!

Skintones

Skintones + Color Fundamentals

Coloring Portraits Worksheet

(I generally rec the color fundamentals too cuz some stuff I don’t repeat in the skintones!)

I talk about how to color skin, color picking and blending modes but also how to not use either lol, tips on coloring skin, how 2 avoid whitewashing. Cel shading, painting, coloring any skintone in any style

3 PSDs have been provided along with 2 procreate timelapses and 3 skin tone palettes for procreate and CSP! With the screenshots of the palettes for any other program!

The portrait worksheet is 7 portrait lineart/inks that you can color/paint over. Some have guidelines that you can follow like planes of the face. Some stylized, some more detailed.

If this does well I’ll consider doing other worksheets cuz I think they are a fun way to learn!
