New Worksheet Soon

Have you been practicing your hatching lines? In EVERY comic or manga that you pick up there will be, somewhere in that book, some hatching lines! I’m making a new video showing how I made the worksheet but, YES, I will have a new worksheet for you soon so you can practice.

I’m also making another hands video. So many people have trouble drawing hands (including me) that I thought I would do a continuing series on it. Some of the videos will be posted on my website and some on my YouTube channel. Unfortunately, I have to watch my storage usage so I flip-flop between the two platforms.

Stay tuned!

Keep Practicing

What’s the best way to get better at something? Practice! I have trouble drawing hands so I’ve started practicing drawing them. I have a “how-to” video uploaded to my YouTube channel. I would put it on this site but I have to watch my GB space. If you’re interested in learning how to draw hands then check it out.youtube

Finally, A New Video!

It’s been over a month since my last video. I made a worksheet for my sketch series. It’s the nutcracker again! This video focuses on mark making, specifically – hatching. You can create both value and texture with different mark making. I made a worksheet to go with the video so you can download it and practice your hatching. Any type of cartooning or comic book art usually has some sort of hatching.

Here is the worksheet!

A Great Time with the Girl Scouts!

Believe it or not I was asked to run a comic workshop for a Girl Scout badge bonanza event. I didn’t even know what that was but I figured, why not? It turned out to be a complete blast and a half! I had so much fun teaching the bare (and I mean BARE) basics to two classes of pre-teens. There were girls from all over the state of Arizona. The leader of my particular workshop had everything ready so my part was pretty easy. If you ever get the chance to hang out with the Girl Scouts and do a free workshop – DO IT! You won’t be disappointed.
