Hamthology Vol. 2 Launches!

We officially launches Hamthology vol. 2!
You can visit our online store at Lulu.com. It has a 10-page* preview (that takes quite a while to load), so please check it out :)

* Technically, it's only a 4-page preview because the first 6 pages are title page, table of contents, and various other things. That's why I'm typing this as a fine print, mwahaha!

So what is Hamthology, you ask? It is a comic anthology done by folks at the Piggy Farm forum (I contribute a not-so-short comic in the volume). We emphasize on the community aspect of the process. Your support is greatly appreciated :)

Hamthology Vol. 2

Sometime last week I read that one good thing to do to get into a field (in the article gives programming in PHP as an example) is to start a blog about what you do in that field. Now, I want to get into manga drawing further; so probably I will convert this blog somewhat to be partially about drawing.

And speaking about drawing, right now I'm drawing for Hamthology volume 2. I drew a 7-page story for Hamthology vol 1. Doubling the page count is not that bad; the bigger obstacle I found is multiple characters and speech bubbles (the short story I drew was single-character without dialog). I keep forgetting how to draw characters. This means that when I draw, say, Edward Elric, my drawing looks different from him. Or make him look too young.
Another new thing I'm trying to get a hang of is speech bubbles. I was too used to planning a panel to be filled with a scene and ended up with panels that are so full that speech bubbles simply don't fit in.

In addition to Hamthology, I also want to submit an entry for Pepper Project. No clear idea about what I'll draw yet, but it should be something about posing (something I need to practice on).
