Welcome to Slinging Ink Studio
Here's a little bit about me and the whole idea behind Slinging Ink. You are probably here because of the art techniques, practices, or as I like to call them on TikTok, art hacks... BUT. While drawing and helping you be a better technical artist is of course my goal, I have found through interactions with my students, that understanding how to tell a story has seemed to resonate even more. I love traditional materials and processes and in an ever increasing world of 'content over creativity', I want to be able to share my love of story and equip creatives to go out and tell better stories. Are we losing the ability to tell stories that last? Do we have the tools necessary to make stories of substance? With impact? We have a generation of artists coming up that are talented and have loads of creativity and don't know what to do with it. While they may be talented with a great idea for a story, without the right tools it stays in creative limbo. You can read comics, manga, and watch movies, but if that is the only guidance you have to making your story a reality; at best, you will have a pseudo-copy, derivative of the source material, and at worst; a hollow shell of a story that lacks the substance needed to make your audience care. Nobody wants that. In short, I want Slinging Ink Studio to be the go-to resource for creatives who want to not only grow in their technical art skills, but also be challenged to tell stories with substance. My love is for sequential art, and the examples will be catered toward comic storytelling, but the concepts and principles extend far beyond sequential art. Art informs art. Take the tools and principles and write, draw or film. Create stories with substance. Care about what you make, because if you don't care, why would an audience? With that being said, there is so much coming that I am excited to have a place share, but for now enjoy the free resources and let's get to work. N. Colin Dyer

@Tara Tipton you’re welcome! I appreciate the kind words! I know it’s not always necessary to get so far into the weeds with the breakdowns of how everything works, but I always find it to be helpful in feeling more invested in my work! I’m glad you’re here, and looking forward to seeing your progress in your art journey!

@Luke Tullius Ha yeah, looking back at old art makes me cringe sometimes but it's proof I've grown as an artist!
📂 New Folders + 🎨 New Art Hack
I've re-organized the 7 Basic Folds playlist into a Fabrics folder, separated them all and added the videos! I've also added a new Artistic Principles folder and added the first art hack; Foreshortening.
