However, after developing a repetitive stress issue in my drawing arm, I realize that hunching over while sitting at a drawing desk and making tiny motions with my wrist was not doing me any favors. I resisted making this change for many, many years in part because I liked the look of traditional inks, and I enjoyed having a physical page on bristol board when I was finished. The biggest change between the tools I used for the first three books of Paradigm Shift and what I’m doing now is I’ve drunk the Kool-Aid and gone all digital. Today, I’ll give you a quick overview of the topics I’ll be covering both in the workshop and in this series over the next few weeks. I’ve updated my workshop to reflect those changes and I will share it with you here. Not only have the tools I’m using to create my comics changed, but I’ve learned so much more that I would like to expand upon. However, it being 2017, that tutorial is out of date. (Egads! Was it already so long ago?!) I eventually included it as bonus material in the second edition of the book. Back when I was working on the first Paradigm Shift graphic novel, I created a process tutorial, which ended up serving as the basis for the first workshops I brought to comic & anime conventions after publishing that first book in 2003.
