For the past two years I’ve taken part in the Art Soundoff Challenge, a collaborative event created by Jerzy Drozd and Rob Stenzinger of the Lean Into Artcast, and founders of the comic teaching website Lean Into Art. Taking place every November, participants audio and v-log about their art day, things they’ve been thinking about with their various art and comic projects, and even respond to commentaries by other Art Soundoff participants. It’s always interesting to see what other creators are saying about comic creation and what I can learn or what I already know. And this year, in addition to usually being the only critic among my fellow creatives (which is my unique perspective–we all have one) I’ve just starting using a graphics tablet, which means learning more Clip Studio Paint features I didn’t use when I just colored and lettered comics and title cards with it (when I didn’t use Paint Shop Photo Pro for some projects that is).
Additionally, Jerzy and Rob have added a few features to the project. In tonight’s showcase (which I would have posted last week but I had a good lead-in to Star Wars: Forces Of Destiny and I wanted to use it) I bring you the announcement for this year’s Art Soundoff Challenge, just in case any of you new people are story and art creators and might want to join in.
