Are you a good drawer?
The sixteen panels turned out pretty well!
So true, it hurts.
Ted Seko and me (and another Cartoonista, Grasiela Rodriguez) were at a school yesterday drawing for kids. And yeah, you have to be up on all kinds of reference for these kids! Suprisingly, not all of them want you to draw Galactus! When the little girls come forward, then it gets really tricky! I got to draw a horse, and a Wonder Woman yesterday. Luckily, I was able to move the kids along to Grasiela when they started asking for Tinkerbell!
Great 16 panel layout, by the way. Really allows you to tell that particular story well.
Yeah, if someone asks me to draw a cow-man or a pirate parrot, I have no problem, but if someone asks me to draw some licensed character, I have a really hard time. I might actually have an easier time drawing tinkerbell than some obscure Star Wars character.
