Sequential Artists' Pub #8 now available

I’m a little late in getting the show notes up. Our 8th show had a stellar turnout with cartoonists of all walks. We discussed several topics, including the perennial writing vs. art debate, Scott McCloud, how to pronounce Jeph Jacques, and shared a whole host of tips and book recommendations for cartoonists.

Here are some brief links that came out of the discussion:

Wally Woods 22 Panels that Work

Google Sketchup (for drawing backgrounds / props)

BPelt Plugins – a great Photoshop plugin for quickly flatting colors

Jeph Jacques tutorial (in creating his webcomic, Questionable Content)

The book Drawing Words and Writing Pictures by Jessica Abel and Matt Madden

Scott McCloud interview by Kreg Steppe

Preston Blair’s drawing for animation

The Animation Archive (for folks who like the older drawing styles of yore)

Expressive Anatomy – a text covering comic narrative principles

and much, much more…

Participating on the call and in the chat were the following:

Danny Burleson
Tom Truszkowski
Ryan Dow
Scott Gallatin
Liz Walsh
JT Shea
kfunque
DungeonWarden
CapesnBabes
Keith Quinn
Denise Guinn
