Parallel to my own experiences learning the trade and craft of making comics when I started, here’s a documentary with cinematic craft about recreating the first issue of Peter Laird & Kevin Eastman’s TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES. You gotta see this! youtu.be/2iHI3cjsKMU?...

My students' takes on Wally Wood's 22 Panels that Always Work - some great approaches - and every time we do this, I always see them grow significantly in the process - thinking about framing, shadows, angles very deliberately! And if you're not familiar - Wood's original set. Give it a try!

Comic book artists; writers; cartoonists. Crowdfunding a book is difficult. What would make it easier for you? #crowdfunding #comics
