Handouts

Printing and binding the handouts helps to use them as quick reference

There are plenty of handouts out there. From time to time, servers fall down and the copies are lost in cyberspace, so I reccommend to download (so you can check them in a tablet) or print (bind them together as a reference/morgue file) those useful resources:

• Wally Wood’s 22 Panels that Always Work, simple yet effective handout about comic book storytelling with 22 panel shots. Includes Wally Wood's original handout as well as a fan-version using Wood's published panels.
• Carson van Osten handout on Mickey Comics flashes mistakes to avoid in a compact handout.
• A few notes about Inking by Michael Cho.
• How to draw unique characters by napalmnacey and her 25 Face Expressions challenge (downloadable template here)
• Mannequin studies by Andrew Loomis. Extracted from one of his books.
• Figure drawing handouts by Douglas do Amaral.
• T. Motley  as cartooniologist presents his instructional handouts (downloadables as JPG y PDF).
• Drawing Theories of Bob Camp.

One thing I tell young cartoonists: a magazine is like going out on a date, and a book is like getting married. If you’re going out on a date, you don’t need a lawyer. If you’re doing a book, you get a lawyer

Hello, world

Hello world

My name is Jose M. Bielza and I'm a moonlightning cartoonist from Madrid, Spain.You can see some samples of my work here (spanish) and here (english).

After more than 600 posts in my blog in spanish about Cartooning Resources I realized most of the material I collect comes from english sources. So, why not starting an english blog?

This is a blog about free cartoonig resources. That is tips, tools, materials, tutorials, books, videos, examples... whatever you would need either if you are a pro, a moonlightning, an amateur or a humble aficionado of this form of Art. I post my own material as well as links to other resources that are available in multiple internet places (copyright owners still hold their rights, of course).
