The current issue of Historical New Hampshire magazine (Vol. 71, No.1) features a cover article I drew about the “Live Free & Draw” method of making historical comics based on primary source texts. Entitled “Drawing Freeman Colby,” this 18-page full-color article outlines my basic comics creation process, and looks more deeply into some of the issues involved in drawing Freeman Colby Vol. 2.
Subtopics include:
- Reading primary source texts
- How to draw comics
- Drawing faces
- Drawing settings
- Questioning sources
- Gaps in sources
- Inclusive (multi-source) research
The issue is available at NH Historical Society’s website. Sales support NHHS’s core mission “to educate a diverse public about the significance of New Hampshire’s past and its relationship to our lives today.” View @ NHHistory.org >>
