On: Illustration, Comics, and Story TellingDon’t suck -- PK
I want to say first of all that sometimes I get people asking, or rather complaining, “why does it seem like the comics always get a better score?  This group seems so focused on comics.  What if I just want to draw pictures?”
Well, that ends up tying into narrative illustration, which is a pretty hard thing to do right if you’re used to drawing single shots of your character against a plain, white background.  Most people end up doing comics because it seems easier right away:  the characters can talk, you can set the scene, it doesn’t require a little description at the bottom...
But, even comics require some know-how to pull off really well.  It’s just harder to pull off illustrations in this story-based environment, because comics make it a little less apparent when it’s not doing a very good job at telling that story.
But, I’ll get to comics second.

here you go

I don't know if it'll actually help anyone but hey it might at least be somewhat interesting. I don't know how to explain the actual process of painting, other than blend and colorpick like a maniac. XD;
