no, no, it's just that art teacher's are generally good artists(oh, and my art teacher once thought I was rubbish, they change their minds so quick.) By the way you made this forum's 1500th post, and this is my 300th.Yay!

Sweet!!!

I love this thread, it is like a child to me. I remember being so happy when it reached 10 pages and 100 posts.

My little boy is all grown up

Whay the unhappy face? And what text do you use for the comic, I need it for my comic? And is it possible to get a textbox on paint.net? That is all I need to know for my comic.

Note for Justicity, I meant speechbubble.

Text looks like comic sans, I think, hopefully.

I am going to start on my own comic called "The Shadow" in a minute(correction, when I can be bothered. Oh, and I have homework.DAMN YOU SCHOOL!!)

Id be interested in seeing what ya can do, by profession i am an art teacher so i love to see aspiring artists work and helping if and when i can.

If uy enjoy art and keep on pushing forward u will be king someday. Other than that, thank u for the complement!

P.s. Even i think Homework sucks

You are an art teacher? Can you tell me what is your professional opinion about my sig? Whatever, in my sig you can see my detailed coloring

Well first id needed to know what u used to draw it....although my digital art knowledge is far from perfect.

From a more fine art illustration point of view your attention to the light source is very good and ur use of tones is lovely.

Thats about it for now.

I'm posting the first page of my new comic now(Icouldn't colour the title without the whole thing crashing for some reason)

I can remember when i was in my art lessons at school, i had an evil art teacher, she used to draw all over my work to give me ideas on how to make it better, but the thing was that she used black pen which means i'll have to re draw the whole thing. it was rather upsetting, but oh well thats in the past now. So Grim hows it going with the comic? How many pages are you hopeing to to?

The teacher drew with PEN!!! On ur work!!! That is immoral, an art teacher should never do that, i certainly wouldnt.

Re the page question, i will do alot. I am thinking of doing a piece along the same lines as The Walking Dead.

If u havent read that book do, go on hurry up, ill wait.....

My art teacher never did that too, she always took a pice of chalk put it in my hand and moved my hand over the paper so I could "feel" the lines. Then she just brushed it away and let me get on with my pics.
go on show us the comic stuff, you could do it during school, like:
"Kids, now you shut up and draw me a picture of what ever comes to your mind, while I do a few "corections", I give you 2 hours, now shut up"

Looks like I'm not the only onw who's had evil art techers. Most of them hated me becaise I was better than them.

Ah, sorry, I haven't been around the last few days, coursework, my job, life, all getting in the way.
Finally experiencing a bit of what Grim had XD

The text is A.C.M.E SECRET AGENT, a font I downloaded specifically for making comics, and I make the speech myself, I wouldn't know where to download them from. I can't remember where I got the font now, sorry.

It's colored on Photoshop CS2

Question: How do you make those text-boxes in which you put the character's speech in the comics? (I hope you understand the question...)

What program, first of all?
Then I can help.

Photoshop maybe? Hey, are there some kind of Photoshop brushes that can be used for that text-box?

I was afraid so...I don't use/have PS, so I use GIMP. But if you give me a screenshot of PS' toolbar I should be able to help.

Jealous??? hehehe

It's best to create the speech bubbles and text boxes in Illustrator and import them as layers into Photoshop and then do all your text on other layers in PS. That's how I do comics.

I actually found what I was looking for HERE

That’s cool. I might have to try those brushes myself.

Here are a few tasty WIP pics for ya all to have a goo at!
