Continuing the previous thesis excerpt from Part III: Strengths of the Digital Medium. Please remember this is written for people who have NO IDEA what webcomics are, who makes them, or how comics in general can be considered a true art form.

Dutch of School Spirit was the second of 5 brave volunteers willing to have me go through their site and critique it. Previously reviewed was Chirault, by Varethane.  A note, copied from the previous review: I don’t ever ever review in the form of “this sucks, change it to suit me, puny human!” I prefer [...]

Totally not going to have time tonight for my next article. In lieu, here is the next portion of my thesis, The Art of Webcomics.

…Webcomics may possess such variety and potential, but webcomics also have a reputation both on and off the internet which causes this new art [...]

I got distracted doing other comic work tonight to find time to write an article about the benefits of being part of a webcomic collective. Here’s the next chunk of my thesis, still from Part I An Explanation of the Art of Comics:

In order to understand where webcomics are today as an art form, [...]

This is the introduction to my college thesis titled The Art of Webcomics. It was written for people who did not read comics, who thought comics were for kids, that comics were not a true art form and a waste of time, and who had never heard of the term “webcomic.” So, it was written [...]

Stumble Upon works well if you’ve got connections, but then again, that is how it works at ANY networking site.  If you don’t have anyone to network WITH, [...]

In the desire to spread the word about my comic, I have been experimenting with various ways to network in the hope that 1) it would be successful and 2) I could share the results with you.
Here is the result of my first networking attempt, using Deviant Art as a means of free advertising through [...]

On the SpiderForest forums, one member asked if signing up on webcomic toplists and coming up with vote incentives was worth it. By worth it, I mean “does the effort bring enough readers to make up for the time spent?”  The short answer is most definitely YES.
Toplists are a popularity contest. Unpopular/unknown comics won’t ever [...]

Something I’ve always loved to see is the process by which other comickers create their work. Usually, a great deal of steps are congruous.  The above image (click to enlarge) in my personal process.
I first start with a sketch. Since my comic is now created 100% digitally, I open up a blank document in Photoshop [...]
