who gave this animal the ability to hold a pencil

start now. now. now now now. or else you'll never draw this damn thing

it's fine if you don't have the entire story figured out yet, it'll happen naturally

draw what you want to draw!! webcomics often run for years, so you better work with something you like

don't overcomplicate things. a simple, efficient work flow is your top priority in order to stay consistent

bullshit some things. trace background refs. reuse poses. draw your character's face from different angles and just copy paste it in to save time. be smart about your work baby

take breaks if needed. webcomic burnout is real

sometimes, a panel or a page looks bad. shit happens. move on

lettering is actually really important and super hard to pull off

it's your comic. do what you want forever!!!

I'm begging you again to work smart, not hard. reuse backgrounds. use brush sets for webcomic artists. trace 3D objects. use 3D models to pose your characters

you may need hours or days to draw one panel, but people will look at it for 5-8 seconds. keep that in mind

a simple background is better than no background at all (avoiding the white void increases the quality of your work by a ton!)

sometimes the anatomy needs to be a little off to make an interesting shot/panel. that's fine, don't worry about it too much

at least 2000px canvas and 300 dpi for good quality results

ever think Man, I want to support artists but I can't afford to be on 60 different Patreons and fifty separate ko-fi subs?

well, you can support ComicFury at Patreon or Kofi instead and through a single donation support the actual hundreds of comic artists hosting there!

ComicFury is one of the only old school webcomic hosting sites still active, with seventeen years of putting its actual community of artists first, including such rarities as a no-ai policy and an active healthy forum with fair and clear moderation.

It's grown a lot in the past year and so needs have grown alongside it, so here I am doing the PBS Style donation drive post, lmao.

Here's Kyo's forum post about it since he's got a fairly concise explanation of what he's hoping to do from here (he didn't ask me to make this post, you can see me on page 4 saying I'll make it unsolicited).

Keep in mind this ask is only if you're in a position to support artists and have been wanting to, but ComicFury has been my comics home for years now and I'd like to see it continue to thrive, especially in the current environment of exploitation, censorship, and other abuse webcomickers have to deal with on other platforms. (because guess what, you can show violence and/or tiddy AND swear all you want on ComicFury as long as you properly rate your comic for it.)

the author is not trying to hurt you

if you dislike a comic you can stop reading

the actions and opinions of characters are not the actions and opinions of the author

being annoying is not a moral failing

characters need flaws to survive

you can block anyone at any time for any reason 

demanding more pages without any consideration for what the author has already made is not a compliment 

the characters cannot hear you

the author can hear you and is a real person with feelings
