Part I

My name is David and I've been making the comic strip "The DaneMen" for the last 7 years.
It is a strange comic strip.No story. No dialogue. No characters.

Stranger still, every single person in "The DaneMen" looks exactly the same.
Visit this gallery for examples.

This article is meant to briefly give you some advice about comics, and for me to feel self-important.
We are already off to a great start.

First, some quick advice:
1. Read Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud.
2. Carry a small notebook with you everywhere. ]]> namenad has in store for us. ]]> http://jcroxas.deviantart.com/journal/Crafting-your-Story-From-Ideas-to-Execution-365148762 http://jcroxas.deviantart.com/journal/Crafting-your-Story-From-Ideas-to-Execution-365148762 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 23:03:22 PDT Crafting your Story: From Ideas to Execution nonadult journals/culture/interviews JCROXAS http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/j/c/jcroxas.png?7 Copyright 2013 ^JCROXAS

I guess that some people will think that arts with detailed backgrounds are much better than those with simple backgrounds. In fact it is true that a beautiful background can give rise to a more beautiful image that an artist is making or an art appreciator is seeing. Backgrounds play a very important role in the arts, be it a photograph, a digital art or a traditional art.

While reviewing my DeviantART message centers, particularly my 18000+ art messages (I failed to check it for 3 weeks I guess), I found a handful of images that were beautifully made and with simple backgrounds. So I thought of sharing my experience ]]>
