How to make webcomics is the collective knowledge of the cohosts of Webcomics Weekly condensed into a single book.  Scott Kurtz, Dave Kellett, Kris Straub and Brad Guigar share their years of knowledge.  From character creation to website development, merchandising and even exhibiting at conventions.  This handbook shares step by step processes of creating a gag a day strip to longform comics.

Cartoonist handbook

I followed along as the cohosts began the idea of a cartoonist handbook.  They then carried the idea through to the production of a finished product.  I remember their conversations in the lead up to the book coming out.  From the birth of an idea to creating the book itself.  Also the enthusiasm and passion of sharing webcomics with a larger audience.  Webcomics Weekly covered it all.  Everything I learned in the handbook is put to use in some form or fashion.  As Dragin continues to grow and evolve I want it to be an example of the knowledge I learn along with others I will continue to share in future blogs.  Also a thank you to these four artists and the community surrounding them to make the book possible.
