Webcomics’ Impact

andertoons

Weighing in at 162 comments so far, The Daily Cartoonist’s recent post, Ted Rall, Rich Stevens, others debate webcomic impact on cartooning, is one of the best conversations I’d read or been a part of as far as the “freeconomics” (Chris Anderson’s word from Free! Why $0.00 Is the Future of Business, another great piece on the subject) of cartoons online.

There’s a lot to digest, and a fair amount of snark and vitriol at the start, but it’s well worth your time.

Trade Color Alpha! (Sounds like an action movie doesn’t it?)

Well, if you’re into comics and coloring in Photoshop, this is about as close to action as you’re gonna get.

Trade Loeffler, of Zip and Li’l Bit fame, gives some PS coloring via channels advice that I’m still digesting over my morning coffee.

Channels is one of those PS features I don’t know much about, but Trade explains it really well, and you can bet I’ll be trying it out next coloring job.

Hey, good cartooning pal Mike Lynch is offering to let you in on his wealth of cartoony knowledge!

Via Andertalk:

I’ll be teaching cartoon classes in the Southern New Hampshire area (Farmington/Milton/Middleton/New Durham) for 6 Wednesday nights from 7 to 8:30pm beginning February 13.

MAGAZINE CARTOONING FOR FUN & PROFIT

Professional cartoonist, Mike Lynch, will show you how to turn your ideas into a cartoon.

Through individualized instruction, we will target drawing challenges, and look at how you

tell a story through the single magazine panel cartoon. The classes are designed for the

individual, intermediate or advanced cartoonists. The course will finish with each

participant creating his or her own comic feature, including characters and story line.

Were I you, New Hampshire cartoonist-in-waiting, I’d sign up now!
