How much freetime do you get to create?

Questions

Just got my most recent chapter out for my comic and it took me a lot longer then usual. Simply because I had to get a job and make money, what a ridiculous world right? I'd say I would get to draw about 4 hours, every 2.5 days, almost every week. Sometimes more if I'm lucky but it's just sad know…

Where did your main characters design come from?

Questions

They say a good artist copies, a great artist steals. I'd say that's pretty true but people are creative enough to take their favorite things in life and express them through their art. So if this is true then who/what are your main characters based off of? For my main characters Felix and Rat. F…

Art Classes VS Self Taught

Art | Comics

So which camp do you fall under, did you learn to draw from art classes in school/college or did you teach yourself everything you know? Maybe it's a mixture of the both where you learnt from books or YouTube videos. For me I'd say I started off teaching myself but during highschool I learnt a lo…

What's the best tip you ever got?

Questions

Starting off I'd say the best artist tip I ever got was to be full on motivated to get into the art industry. This student art teacher that told me this used to have art shows in his garage, and would call up museums all the time to see if his art would be displayed. If any of us can find as much mo…
