The money, the drugs, the wimin.
Since there aren't actually really any of that in comics... I really just like to tell stories and enjoy the control being able to draw and write them all on my own gives me. ( As well as collaborations mind you. )
Plus, it's fun. And i get to draw funky stuff.
The crosses are generally indications where things should be fully black.
If you don't have a steady hand, you have some sort of mental condition or are coming off an addiction of some kind I assume?
Otherwise, it's just confidence. The more you do, the better you get. Practice is key to everything, unless you believe in magical solutions. Which are sadly, magical, like "Jesus" and "Santa"...
Just keep doing it. You'll get better.
Yes. You do the jobs you can get. I did lots of odd little things for few bucks, art wise, and was also a janitor in my time.
...to both London MCM & Heroescon both. Had great times & met many great people. ( The one word I will always officially use for the South now is FRIENDLY. Even the airport security folks were nice. )
Huge thanks to all who grabbed a copy of SQUIDGIRLS at both cons. The book's net release will be delayed a tad, but should have a bunch at SDCC. Was amazed at the number of commissions I had to turn down. Sorry! Just got too busy and can only fit so many in.
To see what we all got up to at Heroescon ( one of the nicest most friendly and well run cons I've been to, props to Shelton, Dustin and also Doug "The Enabler", ) check out Molly McIsaac's photos on flickr here. Yes, I paid her to document some of the madness. ( Not to mention a great assistant to both McCool & I with lifesaving coffee runs. ) Some fantastic photos there so go have a look. She's available to take pics of pro's and cosplayers alike. I'll be using some of these in "Scenes from the Road" later no doubt...when I actually catch up to which con is which.
