Anonymous asked: "Hey! I really liked your comic and I was curious as to what you used for the halftone shading so it had a more comicy feel? Thank you!"

Thanks! I literally just used halftone textures in photoshop, ahaha
There are LOADS of them on DA to play with.


"

I am not the first person you loved.
You are not the first person I looked at
with a mouthful of forevers. We
have both known loss like the sharp edges
of a knife. We have both lived with lips
more scar tissue than skin. Our love came
unannounced in the middle of the night.
Our love came when we’d given up
on asking love to come. I think
that has to be part
of its miracle.

This is how we heal.
I will kiss you like forgiveness. You
will hold me like I’m hope. Our arms
will bandage and we will press promises
between us like flowers in a book.
I will write sonnets to the salt of sweat
on your skin. I will write novels to the scar
of your nose. I will write a dictionary
of all the words I have used trying
to describe the way it feels to have finally,
finally found you.

And I will not be afraid
of your scars.

I know sometimes
it’s still hard to let me see you
in all your cracked perfection,
but please know:
whether it’s the days you burn
more brilliant than the sun
or the nights you collapse into my lap
your body broken into a thousand questions,
you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
I will love you when you are a still day.
I will love you when you are a hurricane.

Tips on color & light from The Artist’s Guide to Color by Wendon Blake


"…find what you love, the things that you love to look at, and gather them around you and soak yourself in them. Make art from a place of love and passion, not from a trying-to-look-clever kind of place. Don’t worry about “finding a style” or any of that bullshit. You are your style. Just work hard and be good and let life take you where it will. Everything will come in time, to those who are pure of heart."

atzomatic: calamityjon: gurroo: Mike Mignola tutorial, c.1997. I remember liking this so much I pasted the pages straight into my sketchbook I can think of five or six professional cartoonists whose entire portfolio was cribbed from this one tutorial. Beautiful stuff, tho, the bit on texture alone is invaluable. Mike Mignola breaks it down!
