Episode 6 - Follow Your Passion (Feat. Jenevieve Broomall)

In our latest episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast, Ed Foychuk and I caught up to discuss the topic of 'laziness', and how to avoid it so you can meet those impending deadlines!If you want to make money from your art, chances are you're going to take on more than a few art commissions throughout your career. But more importantly, you'll have to be motivated, and a true professional to get them back to your clients on time.That's not always easy! Especially when you're held down by the very human condition known as laziness. We've all felt it, and more often than not. Truth is it never really goes away, our default mode tends to be lazy.The trick is prevailing none the less. Putting your nose to the grind stone and knocking out what needs to be done.

Episode 61 - Michael Pedro on Finding Inspiration, Staying Motivated, and The Best Ways to Learn Art

Deth Phimmasone

PAPER

This episode, special guest artist Deth Phimmasone joins Clayton Barton to talk about a creative dilemma most, if not all, aspiring comic artists face - Getting whats in your head down onto paper.Oftentimes, the ideas inside our mind seem complex and intricate. But in reality, our brain stores information in a simplified manner, meaning that most of the mental imagery we might visualize is in fact symbolic, sometimes abstract versions of the idea we'd like to manifest on the page.In a sense, that's the best way to approach an illustration - to think on a more macro level and build the composition from the ground up using simplified forms that are representative of what will ultimately become the finished art work.Intuitively we have a natural tendency to tackle our art in the opposite way, attempting to incorporate the details and decorative intricacies without first having a solid foundation to build them upon. However without an accurate road map to follow it's very easy to lose your way.In this episode we'll discuss our experiences, along with our favorite techniques and methods for overcoming this artistic hurdle. We hope you enjoy this episode and take away a ton of value.

Episode 59 - The New Art School (With Clayton Barton & Marc Brunet )

Ric Bulow

In this episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast, Ed Foychuk, Ric Bulow and Clayton Barton team up once more to talk about originality, vs relatabilty when it comes to creating compelling comic books.Cliché's, Stereotypes, Tropes and Archetypes often get a bad wrap for being overdone and boring. But are they really all that bad? The answer is yes, and no. They can be bad, but often times are fantastic for creating an instant connection with your audience.In fact, the only way a cliché can become a cliché in the first place is when an idea is struck upon that's so great, it's repeated over and over again throughout the established genre's people either love, or love to hate. This episode we attempt to determine where the line in the sand needs to be drawn when it comes to a unique idea, vs a captivating idea that allows the audience to become entranced in your stories.And try to nail down a strategy one might use to get a satisfactory balance of the two to make their idea that much more powerful.We hope you enjoy this episode of the HTDC Podcast.

How have they changed, and most importantly have they changed for the better? There are creators and readers sitting on either side of the old and new, who either read comics for nostalgia sake, or to get a hit of something fresh and meaningful.But at the core, we explore what drove the industry back then, and what drives it today - and whether or not that's a good thing. We present a balanced argument, coming at the topic from two different angles that don't necessarily align, but somehow make up two sides of the same coin.There has never been a better time for creators to get into comics than now, yet at the same time, it could be argued that there's never been a worse time.

Ideally, if we could whip out a drawing at will whenever we liked it'd be game over. Just imagine how much more productive you could be? You'd triple your practice time, tear through your commissions and make real headway on your comic books.The sad truth is, no matter how much ability you have, there are days where you'd rather do anything else but draw. So knowing how much more we could get done, how do we get around that? How do we get in the mood to draw in the first place?That's what today's episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast is all about. You'll learn four nifty techniques to nip procrastination in the bud and pull yourself back on track to work toward the goals that matter most. Best of all, you'll learn the surprisingly simple thing you can do to click yourself over into a drawing mood almost instantly!I hope you enjoy this episode and that you get a ton of insight out of it.

Episode 40 - Getting Commissions (With Clayton Barton & Ed Foychuk)

As artists we tend to put a lot of emphasis on the end result. We want the outcome to be the best it can be otherwise why set out to create anything at all?Problem is while we're so focused on the destination we completely miss the joy of the journey. In this weeks Podcast Episode, Clayton Barton and Co-Host Ric Bülow talk about the importance of embracing the process. Ultimately, if you're an artist who's making progress, improving, evolving; that destination will always be out of reach. What you create today will always be trumped by what you create tomorrow. So it's pointless stressing out over reaching perfection.You've got to revel in the imperfections. Learn from them, and remember that often times what you consider an impure characteristic within your work reflects a signature style unique to you. If you don't enjoy the process of creation, there's no point in pursuing it in the first place. So remember to have fun with your art. The outcome isn't as important as you think. -Clayton

Episode 19 - Let's Get Down To Business

Welcome to another episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast! The topic of today is 'Sex in Comics'! How do people generally feel about comic books with heavy sexual themes? Is there a line that can be be crossed, and if so where do we draw it?

So we thought it deserved a conversation.After all, sex, art and story have been tightly tied together for eons. It's one of the inbuilt core drives we have as human beings.
