In the Gallery posting "A Little Mouse" there was a question on my method of making the drawing / painting. Here is a short description.I start with a graphite drawing, on paper or digital. If it is on paper I have to remove the background for transparency. I use Krita (freeware) for this. In Krita, in the Filter menu I use Colours / Colour to Alpha.

Muddy Colors by Greg Ruth Welcome back for Part 2 of our series on the craft of comics storytelling, and Happy 2015! If you want to catch up, you can find the earlier installment, (Part 1) HERE: So. Assuming you've been playing around with short stories and interpretive translations of prose to comics, this outing will discuss the dynamic versus the subtle strengths of comics. Again the goal here is not so much to teach the individual physical rules of comics (as any rule that can be broken is not really a rule anymore and all rules in comics can be broken), but to speak to the understanding of why and when to use them in telling your story.

We've rounded up nine applications that can help you get the most out of designing your web layout.
Proper Use of Reference and Anatomy: Creature Design - Part One Reference, Research & Studies are Key Elementsto Understanding and Improving your sense of Creature Design The use of references and research regarding animal anatomy is a vital and practically mandatory part of creature design. It's a necessity to understand the function of living and extinct animals, prehistoric mammals and dinosaurs. Whether you create a design that is a horrid monster of mutilated and malformed flesh, teeth and spikes- or a more subtle, naturalistic concept- it's equally important to understand the basics of skeletal, musculature and anatomical structures of all things living, both past and present. We'll discuss monsters, both horrific, scary abominations and magical or mythical aesthetically pleasing designs another time. This series of topics will focus on an approach to more naturalistic creatures.
