Dracula Sketch / Comic Study
It's a bad picture, and I ran out of room at the bottom of the page haha. Just want to see what people think as far as layout, design, composition, etc. Not my best work, but it was fun to take some images from a movie and think of them in terms of comic illustration. Ink is not my natural medium, and I tried to simplify as much as possible while retaining all the necessary information from the scene. I have ambitions to one day draw my own comics, so any tips and info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Having fun with with The Main Man (a Simon Bisley study)
I love Simon Bisley's work, huge fan of his over-the-top style in early '90s Lobo comics. I have found that a great way to learn the subtleties of a particular artist is to take a piece of his work and recreate it. I used an ipad with a decent resolution image of that particular comic book page and just eye-balled it, basically, blowing it up on an 11x17in page. All my tools are in that photo, Microns, Tombos, a budget Dollar Store fat marker, etc. I was drawing this slowly and methodically, totally unlike Bisley's (probably) drunken chaotic fugue state. Got a lot of value here, especially from the chaotic inking line work... like how to make a mess and still make it look good. However, the biggest lesson I learned from this exercise is... OMG do I hate drawing chains!! (Funny cuz my previous study was a Todd McFarlane cover of Spider-Man with a lot of his spaghetti webbing... and man, it was grueling to draw that too, but I actually kinda fun as well) So yeah, I won't be creating any of my characters with chains! No way man. (btw, the original artwork has Lobo with 1 leg too, I was tempted to fix this but I though it'd be fun to leave that in)

Recommended Courses for Learning
Hello! I've posted something similar a while back, asking for advice on things like inventing poses and positioning bodies in perspective space, and asked which Proko courses were best for learning that, as I wanted to get into making my own comics. I was advised to focus on the Figure Drawing Fundamentals and the mannequinization section. But now that the course listings have expanded, is there anything else that people would recommend for the fundamentals? I have so many classes purchased here that the real challenge for me is finding direction to start learning, so any guidance is really appreciated.

Document Layout - which setting do you use?
Dear Community, I recently bought a wacom and I'm using affinity photo as drawing software. I am new to digital drawing so I struggle with a few things, for example the document-type I am going to use for a drawing. When I open a new document, I can choose some presettings for the layout (like HD+, FHD and QFHD). I can create my own settings as well. Which Layout do you usually use to create a comic page? I tried to draw a page with several panels, but when I zoom in one section to define some shapes and to create detail (like around the eyes), the resolution becomes a little bit grainy which makes it difficult for me to create some detail even though I used my HD+ layout (well I zoom in pretty far in the drawing to get tiny details. When I zoom out it looks fine, but it's still anoying while drawing). Do you have any recommendation on how to set the layout of the document? Thanks and greeting :) Moonless_Sky

Digital Watercolor - what's your workflow ?
I like the look of traditional watercolor of some comic book's artists and I'd like to achieve something similar digitally. I'm trying out some workflows and I was wondering if there are people out there also trying to do the same ! :) - What I'm currently doing is to create first a "light" background - Then I put some flat colors on a new layer in multiply mode - I add the shadows on a separate multiply layer - Finally I use a new lighten / color dodge layer to make the lights / effects I would love to hear and discuss your specific habits / tips / tricks / favorite brushes ! For now, it feels hard to have consistent results (not ideal for a whole comic page :/ ). And I don't know if it is CSP, but the watercolor brushes I use slow down my computer when I'm working with large brush sizes (and I don't think it is a computer spec issue) Any suggestion for improvement is also very much welcomed !
