24 Hour Comics Day tips

Posted by Winter on October 19, 2007

Hey everyone, one of the Minnesota guys sent me a link to their 24 hour blog that they’ll be rocking tomorrow, and it has some cool tips on it already from Kevin Cannon.

In particular I like these 4:

• Wait until you get home to erase.
• Try doing a page every fifty minutes. That gives you 240 minutes to rest and recoup and eat.
• Do as little penciling as possible. Nobody’s going to win an Eisner with these books, so why not jump into the inks right away?
• Put padding on your drawing tool. I bought some colorful elementary school foam pencil holders at OfficeMax. (After last year, my fingers went numb too, so I’m definitely trying this!)
