Great video! Warmed my heart to see all these friendly faces again. The best advice I got came in the form of a profane rebuke from Colleen Coover on my third day of interning at Helioscope in 2010. At the time, I honestly, sincerely assumed that what you were supposed to do when showing your art for critique was defend your every decision against every criticism...like it was a debate or something. I don’t know where I got this idea, but this is what I truly believed. Colleen immediately put me in my place, and I’ve been rewarded so many times over since then. Sit quietly while somebody (especially somebody more experienced than you!) critiques your artwork and LISTEN to what they have to say. Best practical tidbit, and unfortunately I can’t remember who first told me this. Use your index and middle finger as a quick visual reference when drawing the front legs of a horse. Your knuckles bend the same way as their knees.
YAAAAYY❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for this video!!😊❤❤❤ I too am tied down by my part time job while making my comics “on the side”…I am the only artist in my family so for the past 31 years now and as a kid Ioved these comics: Peanuts and For Better or Worse and Zits and Baby Blues❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Keep up these Awesomesaucevideos❤❤❤
The best art advice I had gotten was from my art teacher was to constantly risk failure if you wanted to learn anything or get better. There were a lot of pejoratives in that because we were arguing, but that bit of advice helped me draw better as well as be brave with business. You have to put your pride and fear away for a bit just move on with the work while experimenting with things that might be a bit risky and flop. If it sucks, study why it sucked; if it worked, study why it worked; and move on.
Awesome video, the best advice I’ve heard is do what you want. Your projects are gotta be better when you enjoy them :)
Most definitely! So glad you enjoyed it. :)

Those are both amazing pieces of advice! Never occurred to me about the fingers and horse leg thing, but you’re so right!
