Comment on Bad Drawing Habits and How I Plan to Embrace Them by Ray

Semper Vobiscum – Always create (plural) in Latin.

Look at Schlock Mercenary, a webcomic that has been running since 2000. Howard Tayler has been drawing it every day for 13 years now. His style at first was primitive. One might say, prepubescent. It has grown to a stylized, recognizable style. Do anything for 13 years and you’ll get pretty good at it.

This whole post is made of win.
Especially this, because it is so true:

“It occurred to me that you have to pay your dues. You have to do those bad drawings before you can get to the good ones.”

Also, and you say this above but not explicitly, I think that the bad is interspersed with the good, so it’s not bad, bad, bad … GREAT! GREAT! but more like bad bad …. oh cool, great! … not as bad but not my best, bad, GREAT! etc. etc.

Thank you for reading and responding. I love that we can inspire each other.

Oh, and re: ABC or CC – it’s whatever inspires you to draw. That’s the best one. Duh.

Thanks! That was part of the idea – since my friend (we’ll call her A) was getting this as a kind of mascot for Tough Mudder competitions, I didn’t think it would do to create one of the more traditional pinups. They seemed a bit too soft.
