Episode 26 - December Draw Down Week 3!
December 24, 2020 04:11 - 56 minutes - 105 MBWelcome to the 3rd episode of our 4-Part Series called "The December Draw Down"! The DDD was created as a way to focus more on comic book "art" because we have spent so much time talking about writing, editing, marketing...etc. We also wanted to attempt comic book art, because comic artists (sarcastically I'm sure) are often suggesting comic book writers who can't pay learn how to draw! "What an interesting suggestion..." we said, and then this competition was born. This week we tried drawin...

INTRODUCTION: December Draw Down Challenge!
December 02, 2020 20:00 - 13 minutes - 26 MBThis month Eric, Keegan, and Chloe (Eric's niece) are doing the December Draw Down Challenge!
