Got a very nice surprise in the mail today--apparently they ran my 2D Artist tutorial image as the cover of the German print edition!  A welcome pick-me-up in an otherwise tough week. :)  If you're looking for the English version, you can pick up a digital copy of2D Artist Magazine for around $4 US by clicking HERE.  (A bargain!) Here's a breakdown of the articles and the issues in which they appeared.  Hope you enjoy them.


Issue 63 (March '11):  Comic Book Penciling Tutorial
Issue 64 (April '11):   Comic Book Inking Tutorial
Issue 65 (May '11):   Digital Coloring Tutorial

My son said "Oh you know of Nakayama"...OF Course !! I even thought I had you favorited.,:( but I didn't... So now I do... Because I have several Witchblade comics - in pristine condition! Not bad for a older 55+ PERSON. wink wink

I got my son hooked on comics when he was old 3 yrs old and he's kept every one !! He has the big storage boxes too.
