Comic is back!

Forgot to mention this last week, but the comic is updating again after a one week break. I’ve suddenly had a bunch of paying work land in my lap, and I’ll continue PS as scheduled as best I can. I’ll give you fair warning if there will be any more temporary outages.

Thanks for your patience!

No comic this week.

My apologies, but I won’t be posting a new PS update this week. Between Labor Day, SPX and paying illustration gigs (yay!), there hasn’t been enough studio time to devote to it. Instead of rushing to post a late page, I’d rather use this week to catch up and get back on track.

PS will return to regular schedule again next week, Tuesday, September 22nd 20th!

How to Draw Comics Workshop

How to Draw Comics Workshop

Next week I’ll be teaching a FREE public workshop on drawing comics at the Beverly Public Library!

Here are the details:

Teen Workshop: ‘How to Draw Comics’

3:00 PM to 5:00 PM

Sohier Room
Beverly Public Library – Main Branch
32 Essex Street
Beverly, MA 01915

‘How to Draw Comics’ with Dirk I. Tiede

Taking a comic from an idea to a finished page is more than just drawing a few pictures on a page: you have to tell a story, too. Fortunately, following a few simple steps makes it easy. Beverly’s own local comic creator Dirk I. Tiede breaks down the creation of a comic from start to finish. This FREE workshop covers scripting, thumbnails, layout, character and background basics, inking, and digital touch-up using live and interactive demonstrations. All materials will be provided. For teens age 12-18. No registration needed.

Technically, this is for teens, but I figured I’d let y’all know about it.
