Hi. I am a huge comics process nerd and I collect comics process books. I can't get enough of them, mostly because it feels like there's never enough especially ones that aren't just about #drawing technique. If you make a #comics process book please let me know. I'm looking to add to my collection

It's so frustrating to me that the guys running this yaoi con (and the yaoi raves) just keep doubling and tripling down on their bullshit instead of just, I dunno, doing the professional thing and admitting they don't know what they're talking about and instead try to learn? This whole fucking thing

Hey, friends! Here are some thoughts on using planes in your compositions.

Text:
"Planes" are a depiction of anything that exists in a drawing at a FiXED spatial distance from the viewer, with each grouping of subjects at a shared distance overlapping the next in order to suggest the spatial relationship of each element in the drawing to the others.
This image has three planes:
(Image of a drawing with a scorpion on a rock, a cowboy sitting on a rock, and a mountain in the background).
Each plane in an image signifies a different degree of distance, with the foreground SHARiNG the viewer’s spatial plane, and the background being the farthest from it.
There’s clear distance between each plane; no plane “touches” another.

Text: why is overlapping the planes necessary?
(image: a cowboy apparently close to the viewer, one a ways back, and then a saloon behind him).
Unless one plane directly overlaps another, there’s no sure clarity that they are, in fact, suggestive of different distances.
(image: the cowboy appearing to be closest is shown to be a giant, swinging the apparently midground cowboy by the head into the two-story saloon that's only about as tall as a person).

it’s also important to suggest scale in each plane using subjects whose size the audience is likely to know. when that isn’t possible, try repeating the element-of-unspecified-scale (a) from one plane in another and have it (B) interact there with a subject whose scale is clear.
(image: a small round cactus in the foreground, and farther off a cowboy sitting on a similar cactus)

Text: A perspective grid composition (A) suggests depth by progressive recession in space, while planar composition (B) suggests it with staggered recession in space.
(image: a receding grid and a series of staggered planar elements)
The principles of overlapping planar composition can be used with a perspective grid, especially if there are elements with right angles (like buildings).
Rough your panel with plane elements in place first...
...then make/place a grid that fits your layout...
...then utilize the grid to make the receding angles match.

(image: a wanted man hiding against a wall while a cowgirl crossed the street, looking around).
One of the most useful* aspects of a foreground element is to create a sense of immersion for your audience. by putting it on essentially the same plane as the audience itself, the audience becomes a
part of the story, seemingly able to touch the foreground, to lean around it for a better view.
(image: the wanted man is now decidedly a foreground element).
*it also means less time spent drawing all of the detail in the midground or background planes without ever aesthetically shortchanging your audience.

For a bit more positivity (I am unaffiliated and don't know these organizers): if you missed out on OG yaoi con or just miss it, Yaoi Fest in Portland seems to be trying to revive that feel for their 2027 convention! website: yaoifest.com socmed: www.instagram.com/yaoi.fest kofi: ko-fi.com/yaoifest

a screenshot from the yaoi fest website. It reads: Welcome to Yaoi Fest! Yaoi Fest is a new 18+ convention located in Portland, Oregon and will debut its first event in August of 2027! Our goal is to recapture the feeling of yaoi cons of olde, bringing the same fun energy to a new era. Classic yaoi convention staples such as Yaoi Bingo, the Bishounen Auction, and dances involving flying corncobs are all on the menu! Fujoshi, Fudanshi, and all Fujin are often just a small niche within most conventions, though somehow we manage to have the most fun. This time, we'll be able to connect and enjoy our favorite fictional men around others with the same energy. We're all rotten for the same reason, right? In addition to capturing the cladsic yaoi convention energy, we also want to give fellow fujin a safe space to showcase their art to likeminded people! In the same spirit as Comiket, we will have a Doujinshi Market for artists to sell their self published work. Check out the Main Events page for more information!

Man I really wonder what they think a fujoshi themed convention is lmfao 🫠🫠🫠🫠

screenshot of a instagram conversation that reads: [privacy censor bar'd person] "Rename your event that makes it more obvious what your "target audience" is what you're looking for. Yaoi Con will always be for fujo/fudan/fujins who are ALSO QUEER. I'm a veteran attendee and staff of the original yaoi con, please do not trample on the fans."

yaoi.con: "Our "target audience" is anybody who enjoys Yaoi & bara, nowhere did we ever state fujoshis aren't welcome, we simply stated this isn't a fujoshi themed convention."
