KENNY PORTER TALKS WRITING COMICS!
We’ve had just about enough of Ryan Stegman talking about art. Ugh.
This week, it was all about comics WRITING! Upcoming comics-industry-shattering-series THE SCHLUB co-writer KENNY PORTER stopped by to spill all his secrets on the craft! This topic has been much-requested, and we’re thrilled to finally do a deep dive on the subject!
You can check it out by clicking the image above or right HERE, and don’t forget to come back on TUESDAY for PART 2!
STEGMAN TEACHES YOU HOW TO DRAW BIG MUSCLE FREAKS!
Allow us to spread to you a little holiday cheer: We host a weekly art instructional series here on KLC Press where you can submit your questions on social media using the hashtag #STEGMANSPEAKS and have those questions answered on the show by the man himself! Joy to the world, indeed!
This week, Stegman talked through his approach to drawing massive muscle creatures, much like himself!
Check it out by clicking the image below! Or the one above! Or HERE! I’m your Secret Santa, and I got you a million options to click.
THIS WEEK IN STEGMAN MASTERPIECES!
No matter the season, we here at KLC Press love to keep you all posted on all the Stegman goodness dropping over at MARVEL Comics during the week, and this week was an absolute delight in that department!
LEFT: Got Spider-Verse fever? Check out Ryan’s cover for Miles Morales: Spider-Man #4!
MIDDLE: Try not to burn yourself on Stegman’s steamin’ cover to the upcoming Cosmic Ghost Rider!
RIGHT: Finally, the man showed off a sketch of a Venomized Alfred E. Neuman! What more do you want from him? He’s a genius.
NEXT WEEK: MORE WRITING GUIDANCE AND MAYBE… A VERY SUPPLE ANNOUNCEMENT!
Kenny will be back next week to reveal even more about the world of comics writing…
And we may just have a very special reveal to round out your year of KLC PRESS with a bang.
Happy Holidays, Chain Gang! Stay safe, and we’ll see you in a few!
