‘Comics at the speed of life’
Web Comics Tips: BarCamp 2012
So Why WebComics?
•   I’d just published a 10 year collection of my comics. It was time for
    something new.

•   I’m all about drawing comics fast. And life is short.

•   I’d read a manifesto encouraging people to write stories.

•   I wanted to share my experiences living in Cambodia to both Khmer and
    foreign friends.

•   For fun! (I lost money doing my comic, so anyone who wants to become
    rich should leave now. )
365 Comics!
Jan 01 – December
  31 2011. I simply
  ‘jumped in’.

Webcomics Tips
• Stick to a schedule. That builds your audience.
• Use professional art tools, they save time
• There is no ‘correct’ way to do a webcomic.
  The most successful vary widely.
• Friends, family, artist friends /art community
  can be a big source of support.

• My own process:
Web Comics Tips: BarCamp 2012
Recommended Tools
• Pen, pencil, eraser –
  I use marker pens.
   – (many pros use
     brush / nib pens)
• Computer, Scanner
  – scan for print AND
  web
• Art board / art
  paper
• Khmer-English
  dictionary
• Digital camera for
  reference
• Free web site
What I
Learned
You can
   be as
 detailed
or simple
  as you
like. Your
  comic,
your rules
Whatever
 makes you
 happy, sad
or curious is
   a good
    start.
Web comics
allow you to
respond to
current
events in
‘real time’
Web Comics Tips: BarCamp 2012
Web Comics Tips: BarCamp 2012
One
comment
can make
your day.
(Moderate your comments.)
Web Comics Tips: BarCamp 2012
Always be ready – stories are
        everywhere
Every day is a special day
Everybody
loves a good
  Motodop
    joke.
It’s always
a struggle
to balance
  life and
     art.
You are a
  library of
stories – find
  your best
way to share
    them.
There are better topics than
      procrastination.
Drawing &
sharing your
 comic can
 take time.
  You may
 miss your
  friends.
I ended up creating two stories –
         unintentionally.
      (‘Carrot and Potato’)
‘Apple and Pear’
Even when I’m being lazy, it’s easy to
lapse into character-driven narrative.
Tricks:
    I use
 templates,
   stamps
 & Puppets

(OMG, is this
 cheating?)
Web Comics Tips: BarCamp 2012
Puppets –
how real do you feel?
There are now several ‘Weeksito’ puppets out
  traveling the planet, an externalization of comics
  into the ‘real’ world.
