@whalekeeper wow, what’s up with Seb?

I can have one of my charries go say hi if you’d like. They’re not doing much right now.

@whalekeeper

I agree, reading books has helped me so much!

I’m not sure if I know a lot about plot structure. I just try not to be cliche, have good character arcs, and attempt to make an outline. Emphasis on the word attempt, lol.

I know that there’s seven main ways to plot, like “save the cat”, “the hero’s journey”, the “three act”, and…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

You ask yourself, “what’s coming next?” And then eventually, “I know what’s coming next, because the character’s arcs need to go this direction!”

This sounds doable, but the problem for me is when I have plot points that I already know, because that adds the additional challenge of having to aim towards the known points.

@whalekeeper

lol yeah I have some tips.

Don’t be like me. : )

I tend to be a perfectionist and that is not good for a comic artist. So… some of this stuff I have to tell myself almost every day. Hope it’s helpful.

When you start drawing a comic, your art is going to start rapidly change and improve as you’re going along. This can be…[Read more]

@calyhuge @euodia-vision @whalekeeper @freedomwriter76 are your charries still there? Maybe they should bust in or something

Lois

“Yeah, well my markings aren’t magic, but yes, it’s like your rocks.” He glanced away and adjusted his glasses.

Felicity finished off her Cheetos and tossed the crumpled plastic bag onto the floor.

“So we have…[Read more]

Lois 

Though Lois wasn’t sure exactly what Calligripho had said, it sounded like an insult.

“Excuse me?” He said, self-consciously tugging his flannel sleeve down over the drawings on his wrist.

Felicity leaned forward, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

“What’s a squid?”

WAIT, PICS ARE WORKING!!!

@freedomwriter76 I’ve been waiting to show  you this!!

Bucky is kinda hard to draw, but I realized he has such unique facial features, and once you get them right it looks like him. I had a lot of fun with this XD

@whalekeeper

Actually, that would be great! If you want to add critiques or anything, let me know.

@jonas @thearcaneaxiom

Over the course of last night and today, I wrote this chapter explaining how Sef ends up with Iver, etc. I’m not sure whether to add another one about that or not. Because I want to explain that Iver is abusive (the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Yeah… If I’m being perfectly honest, sometimes I casually aim at the boys I like… XD FAVORITISM!!!

Haha, that’s a good strategy, lol

@freedomwriter76 @whalekeeper

Wait, she said WHAT.  Nooooooo not Lyn! The poor sweet girl. :'(

This is Rina, Dante’s older sister.

@whalekeeper

I measure drawings in the amount of time spent drawing 🙂

@whalekeeper

I guess you can only measure them as well as you can measure words. A picture is worth a thousand words? But how many pictures are needed to convey the Gettysburg address? The quality of a sentence is what really matters, rather than the quantity of words, just as the quality of an image is what matters rather than the number of…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Oh yes I love questions like these! Honestly lot’s of what I learned is from reading comics myself, I think it’s the best way to learn, but here’s some tips.

Start with a establishing shot. Establishing shots bleed all the way to the edge of the top of the page. It’s like a cinematic wide shot to establish location. If there are any…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Sometimes I bring some taffy or chocolate to school and throw it into a crowd to see what happens.

Oh my gosh that’s hilarious

I should try that! Though my school doesn’t have “crowds”, we’re too small for that, lol. (There’s 120 kids in the whole school, K-12)

@whalekeeper

😂 And I guarantee you will watch it again!

@ferwhen_grace

Oh, I just read that, a few things about me?? Hmmm..

I just moved cross country

I have 26 pets (One dog, two Guinea pigs, two parakeets, three ducks, five guinea hens and the rest chickens)

I have been home schooled since first grade.

I do blog, (heres the link if you want to check it out 🙂 )      acancello.blogspot.com

I lo…[Read more]

Hey…

I’m going to be entirely inactive at 9:30 pm, and I won’t be back on until October 4th…. the Jeffersons can go home if you guys want (we can pretend they received and important letter about something extremely urgent…) or they can just tag…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

They’re going great, and I’ve been getting so much great feedback on my story? How about you?
