I’m going to show you the quickest way of getting your digital comics put together from planning and ideas right up to uploading to the Internet. I’ll use my own personal webcomic – El Cuervo - as the sample for this tutorial. Click here to continue…

It’s going to be an ongoing webcomic that updates twice a week – on Mondays and Wednesdays. So while you’re waiting for your updates on idrawdigital, you can check out El Cuervo on the off days.

The Graphic Novel – the term that is casually misused on a regular basis among those who collect, read and create comics.
