AND we had a good laugh after that! That will teach me to think before I say “Your face” jokes.

A sense of humour is very important in a marriage!

How I Make Comics

2013/07/30 / Nic / 7 Comments

People often ask me how I make my comics and what program do I use etc, so I thought I’d do a video on how I make my comics.

It was a really big step for me to go from traditional art to making comics digitally. I think it uses a different part of the brain or something. For the art I previously did I usually had a reference to work from, but for comics I need to draw something just out of my head and work out the pacing and facial expressions. I was forced to change to working digitally even though in the beginning I drew with pen and painted with watercolours on the very first comics. It was just too difficult to do that and then have to scan the painting. It just took too long. Things are much quicker with a tablet (Bamboo Manga).

I hope that those who have been thinking about doing something like this can see how easy it is and feel inspired to try themselves.

He was having a bad day yesterday. It’s not like him to be so down about his appearance but it is one of those things that you start to think about the more you do blogging and YouTube. I told him it was his period because I’m pretty sure it was just his hormones or something (he is completely fine today).

He talked about how usually when he meets someone he can talk to them and show them that he is a nice guy, but online people make a very quick judgement just on your appearance and sometimes that can be really negative. We had a bit of a chat about how women are usually judged on their appearance more than men and how unfair that is. So that’s something he is starting to understand more. He said he never cared much about how he looked before but now it’s something he thinks about.

He hasn’t even had a whole bunch of negative comments either. Almost everything on YouTube is very positive, the worst he has experienced are some dumb comments on Korean news sites, but I think he is starting to think about the future and the more exposure we get and the unavoidable judgemental comments that will come.

He feels he doesn’t fit into the very small box that is male beauty in Korea but that isn’t important to me and isn’t important to all our blog readers either. That is one thing I have trouble with in Korea, that there is a very narrow idea of what beauty is and so many people are trying to achieve that one look. I think in Australia, and many other countries, it’s accepted that there are all different types of beauty and that diversity is a good thing. Anyway I told him he is my beautiful butterfly. And yes, he did allow me to make a comic about this because it’s something everyone can relate to.

And let’s finish this blog post with some 2NE1.

I think I won in the end and made him come over to my bed. So we’ve moved into a much better place but we haven’t got everything sorted yet. Still need a double bed and some other stuff.

We are sharing with another couple who I kinda already knew so looks like things will be a lot better here. If you are wondering why we just don’t get an apartment to ourselves – it’s not that we are super poor – Sydney is just so expensive! Especially where we need to live (it’s cheaper the further you go out into the suburbs but we need to be in an expensive area because of work). Studio apartment prices start at about $450 a WEEK. So it’s cheaper to just share. Sydney is a beautiful city but there are a lot of problems too. I wish developers would stop putting in luxury apartments and just put in normal apartments people can afford.
