Dear Webcomics.com,
How does one discover his or her story? In listening to interviews with some of my favorite creators, I often hear the artist say that he found success by just finally putting everything together that he wanted to draw, or write about, and stopped trying to please an audience. Mike Mignola [“Hellboy”] comes to mind, as does Jeff Smith [“Bone”]; both these guys developed ideas that they loved, despite the current ‘hot thing.’ But how does one find that concept? How does one discover the story he or she really wants to tell? I find that answering this question is really hard (I’m assuming it’s hard for a lot people since there is so much derivative work out there).

From the New York Times, Dave Kellett passes the following along:
Think registering your business sounds like a perfunctory and insignificant task? Think again.
The registration process forces you to confront a battery of questions that should be part of the bedrock of your business plan. Too often, new business owners regard registration as just another bureaucratic ticket to punch, and they fail to focus on important related steps like claiming a business name, choosing a structure and securing all of the requisite permits. This sort of rush-to-the-wedding approach has become more tempting now that online services allow businesses to do these tasks with little thought.
Get out your calendar and start circling dates. It’s time to do a little webcomics planning.

Here are a few thoughts I had when I looked at some of the turnarounds.
Most of them have to do with the way weight is distributed over a human skeleton. Understanding that dynamic helps you to allow your figure to have more life and a more believable presence in the space you’re creating.

Q. I noticed the new “New here? Read these” section on the right there. Can I suggest adding to that area a more detailed article with full examples of what html works on the site? The link syntax stuff at the bottom of posts isn’t exactly the clearest instructions out there.
