BLOG: Drawing Words & Pictures Twitter Round Up 12.10.10

[Ryan Goble]

Many of you are probably aware that graphic novelists Matt Madden and Jessica Abel hang out a bit here at MC POP.  I check their blog, Drawing Words & Writing Pictures, when they share it in Facebook (I'm a fan) and follow them on Twitter (@dwandwp).  Looks like they put together a weekly Twitter roundup that is both interesting (see the Tic Tac Toe Jam) and useful!  

 

From the DWANDWP blog:

• Sample work schedule of a manga artist http://t.co/6hMgreH via @comixace <- this may be productive but it is also inhuman. #
• RT @intuitivebridge: Found @dwandwp ‘s book at Powell’s (on sale!). It’s the best book about how to draw comics. Learning about emanata. #
• Jacques Tardi inkin’ and smokin’ and talkin’ French: http://bit.ly/gA3tNi (via @fantagraphics ). #makecomics #
• Tardi prefers to use spots of black to bring figure forward rather than thicken the linework (“c’est chiant”):http://bit.ly/gA3tNi #
• RT @RSikoryak: Today: http://bit.ly/4ti9lg Jessica and Matt will be wandering around for a few hours this afternoon… #
• RT @mmaddencomics: New blog post: Tic Tac Toe jam comics: http://bit.ly/fivhCi #oubapo #comicsedu #
• 4-panel demo of blue-line coloring method, drawn by ^JA and intern JP, lettered and colored by ^MMhttp://yfrog.com/jpr2101j #
• 2010 Texas Lib Asso released their Maverick comics reading list for grades 6-12. http://bit.ly/doN70M#maverickcomics #comicsedu ^JA #
• TLA Maverick list is great, except they left Pascal Dizin off his City of Spies and Faith Erin Hicks off hers… #maverickcomics #comicsedu #
• RT @chadwelch: This is a ridiculously awesome blog for character design and cartooning: http://bit.ly/dBb2wJvia @krishna_ait #
• RT @scottmccloud: The Tic Tac Toe Jam! Anyone want to try it out? http://bit.ly/gX7fcv (invented by @mmaddencomics ) #

Thanks for sharing this, Ryan! WE will definitely post more in the future--still trying to figure out how to navigate nings...

Matt, my pleasure - there is sooooo much to navigate, I doubt any of us will ever figure it out - lol :) That said, ALWAYS feel free to cross post. As I said in the new sharing policy 'If it will help teachers "Make Curriculum Pop" and you can share the resource tactfully, share often and frequently.' I think you own that criteria! Thanks for all the awesome you and Jessica do! Have an awesome Saturday!
