SHORT STORY/ONE-SHOT/ONE CHAPTER/COMICS 101 CRASH COURSE RAPIDPUNCHES’ STYLE
I’m NOT an expert but I have some working experience I can share. You need experience to become great. Here is my set of instructions, tips, and notes towards making a 12-page comic.
My method is to work backwards. Personally I work “backwards” because the end is the only wholly necessary page or set of panels in the story. Everything in between is open to editing and hacking as the most important moments are emphasized and chosen.
I even plan/draw the end page first. The end is the last page a reader sees- so spend your freshest energies on making it as epic, memorable, poignant, and beautiful as #$%^&.
If you draw the pages from 1 to 12 sequentially you run the risk of fresh to burnt out- an uneven distribution of drawing skill. (treat the first page and the 2-page splash as you would the last).
Roughly… the steps to making your comic is
WRITE
PLAN THUMBNAILS
DRAW
…BEGIN THE WRITING (DO NOT SKIP NO MATTER WHAT) like this, in this order:
How does it end?
Does the protag succeed or fail?
What is the turning point of their story?
What the protag do that led them there?
Where does it start?
Who is this protag?
EXAMPLE:
Guy gets mauled by a bear.
This is a fail on the guy’s half.
The bear must eat something or he’ll starve to death.
It’s the guy’s fault the bear can’t find other food. He caused the avalanche that buried all the cabins.
The guy is yodeling in an avalanche zone.
The guy is some guy.
CREATING “THE BEAT SHEET” Take the above stuff and reorder it to make sense.
This guy yodels.
Echoes roll.
Snow slides down.
Avalanche buries the mountain.
Cabins are engulfed.
This bear has no access to cabin food and garbage.
Bear eats this guy.
Expand. Blow up important beats for emphasis. Keep less important beats brief.
This guy is hiking in the snowy mountains.
He comes across an avalanche warning sign.
There is nobody around but him.
A dumb expression forms over his face and he yodels.
Echoes roll but nothing nearby is moved.
At the top of the mountain the snow drifts twitch.
Guy, satisfied, hikes away from there still yodeling.
Frozen snow cracks.
Snow puffs billow and great slabs of ice crash down the mountain side.
Guy sees this and hightails it to safer ground.
Animals, people, are all panicking and getting pushed over by the rushing snow.
Cabins are destroyed.
The guy takes cover by an outcropping of rocks, fastens himself securely to the rock face, and waits for the avalanche to die down.
Avalanche dies down.
A lone bear shambles over from the other side of the mountain.
The bear goes to where a cabin used to be (only roof tiles are left). Bear sniffs a dish satellite.
Bear forlornly eats a food wrapper.
Bear tries to dig.
Guy comes down from the rocks he as climbing and sees bear.
Bear stops digging and sees him.
Guy runs.
Bear chases him down.
Bear eats the guy.
BEAT SHEET COMPLETED!!!
After the beat sheet, write up all the sound effects and speech bubbles and conversation/dialogue you want to be in your comic.
Since comics are a visual medium, highest priority is given to the beats. If a story can’t be told with the art without the dialogue– you messed up and it’s time to rethink your life choices.
Try to keep all your text chunks as short as a tweet. Professionally you don’t want more than 25 words per speech bubble and no more than 250 words per page.
Next is translating the beats to pages…
STRUCTURE OVERVIEW:
[1] point of entry, in media res, hero intro
[2][3] conflict. establish conflict, setting, and mood by the third page. [4][5] rising action/false resolution to conflict/investigation
[6][7] turning point/plot twist/epiphany (this one epic image, to page spread is pivotal, spend a lot of effort into creating this)
[8][9] aftermath/“darkness before dawn”/struggle [10][11] recovery/“rise and conquer”/“fall”
[12] resolution/final end/cliffhanger
[front cover][interior] [interior][back cover]
——————–
My maximum per page is nine panels but I’ve seen pages that have way more. I like to have about 3 to 4 panels per row or less but I’ve seen the “rules” broken before. Advanced comic book artists manipulate time with the number of panels and the size of each panel.
remember, DIAGONALS!!! open up an issue of batman, superman, spider man, deadpool or whatever youre reading theyre everywhere.
———-
…DRAW IN THIS ORDER:
Page 12,
Page 6 and 7 (this is typically one large image that takes up the space of two pages),
Page 1,
and then the rest.
ONLY “DEVIATION” ALLOWED:
Page 12 and 1*
Page 6 and 7,
and then the rest.
*Draw the first and last page as a spread in situations where the beginning of the story mirrors the end of the story.
Cover is dead last.
———-
(If at the very end you find out you need more pages and it’s absolutely unavoidable and totally necessary you have to add them in fours. Try to stick to 12 pages for this crash course.)
——————–
FURTHER NOTES:
Plan and draw the pages in spreads (the twos) since this is how it will appear in print and when you submit them to an editor for review guess what, the pages with an exception to the first and last will be reviewed as spreads.
You at most only need one establishing panel of the setting and environment (scene) per page.
Forget “true to life” perspective outside of the establishing panel). Practice diagonal composition of objects and subjects within panels. For dynamism.
You don’t have to present the text all in one go (one paragraph or bubble). You can and should break up paragraphs, sentences, and if you need to single out words– to make smaller, more easily managed bubbles to scatter through the panel.
Less important moments have smaller panels and or lesser detail. More details (or more word bubbles) slow down time. More drawn detail also creates a concentration of values (it’s darker and sometimes combines together as one shape or mass)
Know your light sources. Control the blacks. Control the values.

Wow. A truckload of tips
there’s more and you should read it all.

i’ve defended SAFES in the past because t IS one of the few or only women’s shelters where you can get a bed same night and they accept trans women but never again. I had callers tell me they would rather go back to jail than spend the night in SAFES.
The more you know---- (I stopped donating to them long before this though)

young artist tips master post
hi, y’all! i get a lot of similar, very broad questions about being an artist so i thought i’d take some of my time and make you all a master post with basically my be all end all advice/references/etc so y’all can refer to this whenever you need. hopefully i’ll also be updating this in the future!
1. there is no right or wrong way to do things. there’s only learning, figuring out what works for you, and finding ways to incorporate skills you accumulate through time and research into your working method. there are rules, some of them are great, some of them are stupid, most of them can be broken when you know what you are doing.
2. learn as many things as you can. doesn’t matter if you think it’s useless, if you’re having fun, if you like something, research it, learn as much as you can about it. the more things you know about the more interesting and varied your work will be, the more opportunities you’ll have, and the more unique you will be (and that matters whether you want a studio job or to be self employed!) sometimes you’ll learn something you really enjoy and you think it is COMPLETELY useless for what you actually want to do but then five years later you’ll be using that cool skill you had fun learning and be grateful you learned it!
3. make things for yourself. make things you like. when you enjoy what you’re making, you work harder on it and you make better stuff. people can sniff it out when you’re just trying to make something you think will be popular and more important, you’ll enjoy it less and feel bitter if you’re not doing it for you.
4. push yourself. this goes back to 2: learn as many things as you can and work hard.
5. don’t compare yourself with others. everyone comes from different backgrounds. some people learn more easily or quickly than others. you don’t know how much they work or what their history is and it’s very easy to see someone else doing something cool and think that it must come easily to them and then feel jealous. let me tell you: it is not worth it.
6. art is just as much about seeing as it is about drawing/painting/etc. you have to train both your eyes and your hand. that’s why figure drawing is so important – it challenges you to be able to see more correctly and precisely.
7. growth is not steady or constant. generally you get bursts of growth and then stretches of “stagnation” – essentially times when you haven’t figured out anything new and are just making things. this can be frustrating because during this time is usually when your taste/ability to see will grow and outpace your drawing ability. it happens to everyone, the fact that you are not happy with your work just means that your ability to see is improving!
8. for the love of god, track your art-related earnings and expenses (google sheets is free!) and learn how to do self employed taxes. they are not difficult as long as you keep updated records!
9. build a group of peers, people near your skill level (ideally also around your age), in person or online. these people will support and challenge you and help you grow!
10. if you want to learn how to do something, there are numerous tutorials for just about everything on google. it’s just a matter of learning how to refine your search terms and having the determination to stick with it. some things will be really easy to find, others less so. all the cool people online telling you to google stuff aren’t brushing you off. it’s how most of us learned things and the wealth of information available is far greater than you’d get asking some random person!
reading material for learning:
making comics - scott mccloud
figure drawing for all it’s worth - andrew loomis
wally wood’s 22 panels that always work
perspective for comic book artists - david chelsea
color and light - james gurney
framed ink - marcos mateu-mestre
pricing & ethical guidelines - graphic artists guild
steal like an artist - austin kleon
reading/watching material cuz you can learn a lot absorbing good stuff:
persepolis - marjane satrapi (the movie is also great)
asterios polyp - david mazzucchelli
amphigorey - edward gorey
the amazing world of gumball
paprika - satoshi kon
tekkon kinkreet - taiyo matsumoto (movie adaptation is also great)

Attention artists! Do you love Vocaloid? Do you love zines??
I want to announce that sign-ups for the Vocaloid fanzine that I talked about in Vocaloid Amino a while back are now open! I’ll provide the link at the end after I’ve explained some things ~~
PLEASE READ THE SIGN-UP FORM AFTER CLICKING THE LINK IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING~~
First, sorry I don’t have any images to go along with this post. I have a friend who’s working on the cover page of the zine and she’ll be gone over the weekend so I’ll be uploading the cover page sometime next week~
So!
What is “Playlist”? “Playlist” is an unofficial Vocaloid fanzine dedicated to all (or most) of the Vocaloids which include the engloids, spanishloids, koreanloids, japanloids, and chinaloids. However we are not including private Vocaloids. “Playlist” is the title for the Vocaloid Fanzine in short~
What is a fanzine/zine? A fanzine/zine is a collection of artwork and/or stories that will be published in physical and/or pdf format.
How will this work? The zine will have 32 pages (less if not enough artists sign up), A5 size (approx 5.83in × 8.27 in), matte finish, saddle-stitch with square back spine, in color, and will be non-profit. Once the preorder revenue covers the cost of printing and shipping, the remaining profits will be given to charity. All artists will receive their free copy of the zine.
Quick summary: The theme for the zine is song-based with a limit of 2 pages per vocaloid. Only Vocaloids are permitted (no private vocaloids), no UTAUs, no OCs, nor derivatives. No songs can be repeated.
Due date for sign-ups is May 12, 2017 at 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time.
Sign-ups form is here!
Please help spread the word~~

Hmmm
To be honest if incest triggers you that much to the point of having to send death threats on the internet you probably shouldn’t be watching osomatsu san at all to begin with osomatsu and jyushimatsu literally kissed offscreen in the first episode
TRUTH.
