Dumb Comic Creators Podcast

This episode brings the first week of our December Draw Down in which the Dumb Comic Creators learn how to draw comics (or attempt to) and compete for the best drawings with Eric's talented niece and other friends along the way (although in this episode, just Chloe).   This week we tried drawing comic book faces from the pages of Stan Lee's How To Draw Comics. We wanted to start with the master.  ...

This month Eric, Keegan, and Chloe (Eric's niece) are doing the December Draw Down Challenge! Using the power of books about "how to draw comic books" they will compete to see who can do the best Character Faces, Character profiles, Perspective and finally a full comic page.
