First cover concept.

                          Hey so I haven't really figured out what I want to do about the cover yet so here is one that I ran through +Photoshop.

                           This may or may not be the finale title I' m not sure yet, if you have a suggestion feel free to let me know. The rest of the comic is being scanned and finalized right now. SO you get to read it very soon.

Cheers,

Joshua

        Let me know what you think, more work is coming fast and should get uploaded soon. All of the work is done by myself so getting everything that I do uploaded takes time out of getting it done. Well until I have more for you .

Camera is down ! But I shall update anyway.

         Okay so I have been drawing for two days now and my camera is down (Bummer). The main character designs are drawn and are currently being colored. Once the character designs are scanned I will make sure to get them in. The current names for the characters are:

1. (Main Character) Stanlee
2. (Stanlee's Roomate) Matt 
3. (The girl across the hall) Sally

        There will be more characters but the story line focuses on these three. There is no love drama, family sit down dinners, or any talking animals (SMH) also no cliff hangers, flashbacks (unless necessary), or +Conway Twitty  songs. You'll just have to check it out purely because you want too.

         Moving on.

         Storyboards for the first full comic are half done right now. The entire comic will be 39 panels over 9 pages. Once the comic is scanned in it will be colored then a few copies will be printed. These copies will be sent to winners of an up coming contest I have planned. The comic will be turned into a PDF and will be available on your Kindle for $1.99.

          If you would like to reserve a copy of the printed comic please email me with your information and I will contact you back within 24 hr.

          Well I'm going to get back to the storyboards.

Cheers,

Joshua

Kindle Direct Publishing

Hello again,

         Well thanks to a friend of mine I was directed to +Kindle  to figure out how I could publish my comic on my own and upload it via +Kindle . Now I have looked into this for a few hours just to make sure I have everything understood and I believe I do.

          Once I have a comic finished (This means scanned in and colored via +Photoshop or +GIMP ) I will be uploading them to +Kindle so that you may purchase them for your viewing and reading pleasure.

           More updates include +Pintrest, and comic title.

           Firstly you can find my +Pintrest profile here Pintrest Account. I will be adding all of the pages as they are getting worked on to +Pintrest so you can keep an eye on the work. I will make sure to keep updating the blog and give you any new information as it comes up.

New Comic TITLE! = "I don't know yet"

(Have to at least get one page done before i know what it will be called)

P.S) The amount of pages for the comic as of right now is 10 pages at the least.

Cheers,

Joshua

New Comic Book ! " The Funny Pages™ "

                            This comic will be made up of multiple short stories. The story will be confined to these restraints, If the story can be told in one page then the following page must also be summed up in the one page. In order to use a two page story, the story must begin on the left page and end on the right. The reason I chose to plan out the book like this is because every page you look at is a story. 

  Here is the second addition to " The Funny Pages ™ "

I apologize for the picture quality, here is the dialog  in the order it would be read.

1. HA  HA  HAHA HA
2. O-Kaaaay What's so funny?
3. HA HA  HA HAHA HA  HA HA  HAHA
4. What! What the fuck is so funny!?!
5. It's  It's It's  It's It's It's  It's It's  It's
6. It's what?
7. It's Ur Face!

I hope you enjoyed that, Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Joshua

Comic and Cartoon design process.

Here are a few of the visual steps I like to take when creating a new project.

I like to start with a shape for the head and draw it from each angle.

• Looking to the left and up.
• Looking to the left.
• Looking left and down.
• Facing front.
• Rear facing.
• Looking right and up.
• Looking right.
• Looking right and down.

This may seem like a lot right now but it will save you hours of time in the future if you take care of this now.

Here are many different eyes and noses to be used for characters faces.

Here are some hair styles.

Here is the characters body sheet.

                       Body sheets can include the full body from each angle that will be viewed in your comic. You can also cut the body up in to smaller pieces to give yourself a quick reference guide to use late.

Here is a full character design. (The Ghost)

                       I have found in my years of drawing that if you give yourself a base design sheet you can reefer back to it at anytime to make you drawing workflow much smoother.

                       I hope this has helped you and if so let me know. If you would like to know what the lines mean on the head angle sheet let me know and I will add an explanation.
