If that's everything, looks like you're past the halfway mark!

Keep it up man! gogogol!

Yup, I'm past halfway mark. If all goes well, I'll have only few pages left to color in February... this is a happy time

A panel I really like... from TheOwlTribe comic.

I'm sorry for the radio silence these past weeks. I minimized most of distractions and worked hard on completing the book. I'm delighted to announce that all pages have been coloured, the texts are being edited, the cover has been finalized and almost the whole book has been prepared for print... Those are good news, right?

I'm happy to announce that my comic project is nearing completion after two years in the making! The Owl Tribe is a history-based adventure story with fantastic elements. Set in pre-columbian America, it tracks the story of a native-raised Viking encountering whole lot of problems - some violent, some not

With all 56 pages drawn and colored and the text being edited, I'm prepping for the KickStarter launch next month.

A piece I did to distract myself from ongoing projects...

A bunch of artworks made for my book.

The comic looks amazing! I love your style.
I'm hoping to eventually work on a comic idea I have, so I'll be looking out for your posts for inspiration

lukasz-draws 2017-05-17 06:12:37 UTC #34

Sweet! I'm looking forward to seeing your story sometime soon Thank you for your kind words!

Watercolour 2017-05-17 12:14:07 UTC #35

I'm nowhere near the level I want to be at to start, I'm still getting used to my tablet .. so it won't be very soon
Can you recommend any tutorials/technique exercises or anything helpful when making comics and graphic novels? I was only able to find one useful course on pluralsight.com
And another thing, are you working on this alone? I mean, doing the art and the storyboard as well?

lukasz-draws 2017-05-17 15:20:22 UTC #36

Yup, I do it all alone, from rough sketches to finished book. There are some stages that I do very roughly, like storyboards, for example - mine are very rudimentary. Some things I don't do at all - like inking. I put color over my pencilled pages enhanced in Photoshop.

As for tutorials, I didn't really use any... but I recommend two books that I found absolutely brilliant and very helpful: Making Comics by Scott McCloud and Framed Ink by Marcos Mateu-Mestre
