I'm not an avid blogger, nor am I likely to become one -- however from time to time I'll post here to discuss some of the technical aspects I've been learning about digital art and editing, and how it relates to independent graphic novels and/or comics. There's so much to know in this area, much of which might not seem apparent initially. So, I hope that some of this information can be useful -- however, please keep in mind that I'm not an authority on these things...only hoping to be at a later stage :).

If I could recommend one thing for starters, it would be: get a drawing tablet!

I'd highly recommend a Wacom Intuos; they are well worth the investment in terms of what you can do with them, long term cost-benefit ratio and the learning curve is not as steep as initial appearances might indicate:

Best wishes for the new year!
