I'm not at SDCC so I can't look at your portfolio or give you feedback, but if I was there, here's what I'd probably tell you.

Oh hey, Superior Foes of Spider-Man is finally back in print- now as a compact trade paperback. For years now, I've been watching copies of the out-of-print hardcover sell for $150+ on ebay, so I'll really glad Marvel is making it available again in an affordable format. We have copies on sale now at the Helioscope etsy shop. https://helioscopepdx.etsy.com/listing/4486872085/pre-order-superior-foes-of-spider-man

Fan art for FML

I just finished reading the first arc of FML by @kellysue, David Lopez, Cris Peter & Clayton Cowles. I love this comic and had to draw some fan art.

Y'all for real please do these. Even if you're certain your posture doesn't suck. One day you will wake up with impinged shoulder pain like I did and let me tell you it fucking HURTS. Do these exercises even just once a week and it will make such a difference. Especially my fellow creatives out there, stop shrimping over your work and go do these right now. RIGHT NOW.

Also, if you’re even a little concerned about getting a hump or having trouble standing fully upright in your old age, this is how you prevent that. If you want to be up and about when you’re old you have to start when you’re younger. And keep in mind there is no bad time to start and it’s never too late. Starting today is way better than never starting at all.

learning to draw nature in ink for comics

As a student I had trouble drawing nature for comics. Sketching from reference helped, but I still couldn’t find the right level of pen & ink abstraction for water, vegetation, or natural phenomena. Careful underdrawing wasn’t enough to make the panels work. My eye was undeveloped.

Joe Kubert recommended I get some photos, xerox them at high contrast, then study the patterns that resulted. Sketching from these sharpened my instincts. You can do the same thing digitally with Threshold (Photoshop) or Binarization (Clip Studio.) Play with the slider for different densities.

Weird War Tales #100 by Joe Kubert

[stevelieber]

Joe Kubert's work generally swung back and forth between naturalism and expressionism as the story required. I always treasure the moments when he'd just say fuckit and swing all the way toward the expressive side.

Today I finally got to see an actual capybara in real life after five years of drawing them for our upcoming graphic novel. She was so magnificent I didn’t stop to take a single photo I just drew and drew and drew. What a queen. Her name is Poppy.

June 26 is STITCH day

My colleague and occasional collaborator Jeff Parker (Agents of Atlas, Zootopia, Future Quest) wrote, drew, colored, and hand-lettered a 200 page Lilo and Stitch comic for Dynamite. I've read it and it's a delight!
