"I Can't Draw" - Lynda Barry

Can you draw? Or are you someone who avoids Pictionary at all costs? Have your drawings been ridiculed when that is clearly a hairy arm, not a cactus? Don’t let them get you down! Renowned cartoonist Lynda Barry shows that as long as you can write the alphabet, you can make comics!
Doodle along the video encouraged.

My grandmother said she always loved children's art because they weren't worried about perfection, they just colored, drew and painted. Thank you Linda for reminding us to have some fun and see what comes out.

Love it! How did you put the arms on the side of your head? Is is a gif?

Hi Anneke! I drew that animation in Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, using many drawings in a way similar to a flip-book.

Very original! This must have been quite a project with all the effects, sound effects and the whole build up of the video. Was it done by a team? Any idea how much time you spend? Thanks
