Many people have asked me how I create Zorphbert and Fred. Well, it’s been along winding process over the years, and I am alway one to embrace the latest fad in technology (must be that gene passed down from my mom and grandfather). Currently, I am 100% digital, from sketch to finish. But it didn’t start out that way. You can read though an overview I wrote HERE, to get an idea of the full evolution. In this series I plan to take you through my evolution step by step, from fountain pens to my Tablet PC. No matter where you are in the spectrum of digitally creating comics, these tutorials may be able to help you find a process that works for you!

Thanks Skar… this should a fun series. I have gone through so many techniques and changes… and wondering how my process will continue to change!
