Episode 74 - How Comic Writers REALLY Choose Artists w Michael Oden

How To Draw Comics

We’re back with another episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast, and tonight I’m joined by writer and comic creator Michael Oden, the man behind Elysian Fields: Reborn. In this episode, we’re unpacking the comic creation process from the writing side. Michael shares what it’s like working with artists, what he personally looks for when choosing them, and how the journey unfolds from the first draft to the printed book. This is the kind of stuff that doesn’t always get talked about, but it’s absolutely essential if you’re looking to work with a writer or build out your own project. We’re also diving into Michael’s latest Kickstarter campaign for Elysian Fields: Reborn, talking story, worldbuilding, and what it takes to successfully launch an indie comic into the world.
