    Authortube (Artisttube): What to Do When Stuck on a Drawing

    vLog authortube booktube artisttube what to do when stuck on a drawing thumbnail

    It happens. You have the vision, you begin to draw, all goes smooth, the picture is turning out perfectly . . . then you hit a snag and can’t draw that arm. Every effort yields something less than desirable. Frustration sets in and you’re not sure if you should continue with the drawing or not.

    Here’s what to do so you can finish your work.

  • Read Fredrikus: The Webcomic From the Beginning

    Posted on January 30, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs
    Fred in shadow

    Been feeling lost?

    Why not come home to an old favorite: FREDRIKUS, a webcomic about a down-and-out anthropomorphic dog in a dystopian sci-fi world?

    It’s about life, screwing up, getting some wisdom, then hitting that hard road again to get it done.

    Serialized comics in episode form. Plus, the cartoon (see below) that birthed it all.

    Read FREDRIKUS the webcomic by clicking on the graphic below.

    Realm of Heroes and Monsters YouTube Playlist Index

    YouTube logo

    As you might have guessed–because I’ve been blatantly obvious–I spent a good chunk of 2023 beefing up my YouTube channel in an effort to 1) Play in another medium 2) Put some eyeballs on my books and comics 3) Entertain or inform you as best as I am able.

    We did not bad and had growing stats week by week. Sure, there were some dips in the analytics but you can’t hit the ball out of the park every time.

    Below is a newly-curated list of my playlists on YouTube. It’d be really great if you subscribed to one that strikes your fancy. Part of the goal with this whole YouTube thing is to use it as a funding channel–which costs my viewers nothing other than 2 seconds to click subscribe–so I can more easily bring you more books and comics and other entertainment. If you haven’t already subscribed to the channel, please do so. It really does help out an independent creator like me make ends meet.

    Here are the playlists on my channel in no particular order as we embark into 2024.

    Enjoy!

  • Christmas Holiday 2023 Creative Plans

    Posted on December 20, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

    Christmas Holiday 2023 Creative Plans

    Christmas Holiday 2023 Creative Plans

    Last week of working like a dog then a holiday break for 10 days. Really needed and really looking forward to it . . . but that doesn’t mean I’ll be doing absolutely zero.

    While there will be little things to get done during the break, namely life stuff, here is my general holiday overview divided into blocks big and small.

    Dec. 22 – Midday. Nap (if work is done early)

    Dec. 23 – Festivus. Decompression day and the airing of grievances on my Facebook page to help with the decompression

    Dec. 24 – Rest and Christmas Eve stuff

    Dec. 25 – Christmas (with a special video on YouTube that is interesting but will also make you laugh)

    Dec. 26 to Dec. 30 – A combination of relaxing and binge creating for 2024 and one more Christmas gathering but I don’t know the date. Probably the 26th or 27th.

    Dec. 31 – New Years Eve. I’m too old to do the stay-up-til-midnight-then-kiss-the-girl thing. I foresee a later night but in bed before we travel through time into a new year.

    Jan. 1 – Last day of rest so the aim is to do as much nothing as possible

    Jan. 2 – Back to real life

    And those are my Christmas Holiday 2023 Creative Plans.

    That last date scares me at the time of this writing though, because, right now, worn out, I don’t want to deal with real life. Need the break. I do know, however, the break will be a full recharge if it’s anything like my same-length break in the summer, which is a good thing.

    There you go. General holiday plans, subject to change as per the rules of Christmas Holidays when things can turn on a dime.

    I hope you’re looking forward to Christmas as much as I am. I have some really cool, special-to-the-individual gifts to hand out and I can’t wait to see their reaction!

    Peace.

  • Self-publishing: Playing the Long Game

    Posted on December 12, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

    Self-publishing: Playing the Long Game

    self-publishing the long game

    2023 has been about me making broadstroke creation moves, playing the long game the key component behind each stroke.

    There is a reason I’ve been regularly posting videos to this site despite it being about a writer/artist amlnd books and comics.

    There’s a reason behind setting myself up and creating content for various platforms.

    There is a reason behind why I constructed Patreon 2.0 as I did.

    The list goes on.

    What you’ve been seeing on this site over the past year are groundwork foundation-laying moves that will aid 2024. You can’t build a house on sand. You need concrete.

    This is PROJECT REBUILD 2.0 and it’s working.

    Every action I take, and as I’ve mention in my newsletter, are meant to help Future Me along with Future Works which, in turn, help Future You, dear reader.

    A lot of PROJECT REBUILD 1.0 was more theory-based and planning-based versus actual execution of the theory. PROJECT REBUILD 2.0 has been the execution of 1.0.

    As I state in the below video, there is method to the madness.

    vLog – Method to the Madness

    2024 is looking to be a fairly big year self-publishing-wise. Lots of titles, so at present I’m mentally mapping out the year in terms of how to release everything and when.

    But that’s 2024 and we’re not there yet.

    2023 will continue, and finish, as it has been thus far.

    A new content schedule will be created for 2024, but as of now, this schedule will remain.

    Thanks for tuning in this year.

    More to come.

    Peace.

  • Fred the Dog in Once Upon a Weiner (Storyboard Video 2000 VHS)

    Posted on November 11, 2023 3:32 pm by A.P. Fuchs

    Fred the Dog in Once Upon a Weiner (Storyboard Video 2000 VHS)

    once upon a weiner storyboard video thumbnail

    Prior to animating, and after the script, the story needs to be blocked out via storyboards before the drawing phase of cartooning. I did my best to time the storyboards with the cartoon so you could see how the layout worked on the final product. You can also see how some of the colors changed for the backgrounds and what was included in the storyboards and what was not.

    The captions beneath the storyboards might go by too quick to read but, again, I was trying to time the storyboards with the cartoon itself so feel free to pause where need to read the storyboards.

    Anyway, this is some behind-the-scenes stuff for you and a bit about what goes into making a cartoon.

    Enjoy.
