Hi, some time ago I have started drawing my own internet comics Of course I'm not talking about something really big with thousands of views per day - it's mostly for fun and my own amuse :) (although it got 10 views per day - which is in my personal opinion not bad).

Problem is that I'm not really handy with pen, gimp etc so most of my sketches are kind of ugly, or even impossible to draw for me. So like I said in a subject - I'm looking for someone who'd like to help me with drawing. Of course I'm not offering any payment (although we could create our own site and get money from ads)- I'm just counting on that somebody who liked my sketches would like to make more of them with me.
So, some of them are in my devianart gallery - check them out! [http://karpiu3.deviantart.com/gallery/]

BTW: All of those sketches were originally in polish and I'm not sure if I have translated them properly. I'm also not sure if they are funny in english (i mean: each country has its own humour) but i hope you'll like 'em.

    I had that book when I was a kid. I used to spend hours upon hours studying every single page. I got to the point where I could draw Spider-Man, Wolverine, and countless others just like in the book. One day I decided to show my friends my progress. They all said I was probably just tracing. I never drew again.

    Man, fuck that book.

    Your response should have been in the form of a humorously altered image. You've lost the magic. The DMAgiC.

    Oh man, karpiu, you should've lurked first. This place can be a little more volatile than most forums, and when I say a little I mean like a lot. Think of a cave of angry bears who've just had their porridge stolen by some prissy little bitch.

    First things first no-one is going to guide you to epic art for free, it's just not going to happen.
    Second if you are interested in learning, lurk around for a bit and pay attention to what people say. Once you think you have the chops to offer up some art that you're moderately happy with, post it up in the doodle thread for critique. Just let this thread go, it'll be locked anyway because you need to post art in a new thread.

    I've read How to draw Comics the Marvel Way more times than I can count. It's pretty good. I like parts about scribbling to build up a form.

    What's cool is how old the book is (circa 1978), and yet I still see in the book store from time to time. You don't see that very often.

    Um...I think I misread the first post. This guy says he is a gimp. Should we be making fun of him? Actually we are not making fun of his drawing, we are making fun of his inability to read the forum rules and demand for free art.

    1.fraw

    a fiery anger, usually against another person. an emotion.


    How to Fraw a Comics:

    1. Take a comics in hand that you dislike.
    2. Use the inner fraw and scream at it, maybe even smack it.
    3. ????
    4. You've frawed a comics

    No, he didn't say he was a gimp, he said he was bad with Gimp.

    Why is it I think "fraw" is the new faux-black slang that I've been missing out on because I haven't been watching MTV?
