I do have to agree, I do envy ...Hey love the Post. I do have to agree, I do envy you Eric for coming to this conclusion. <br /><br />I know in my experience that it seems like I have hit a brick wall. I don't have that much time to draw, however I do try to sketch at work when I can. For such a long time I feel like I have been just staring at this wall and it has just become part of me. <br /><br />Just recently I have started to try to pull the wall down by trying more dynamics, more fluidity, and minimizing detail. I have found that it seems to get me more interested in art just slightly, and is also helping to remove that Damn Wall brick by brick. It feels slow, but i know its something I have to try and get back into.<br /><br />This is just how I feel, and I think you are also right. I should start picking up some more comics to get me reading them and get my more motivated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221958691562693930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044991342154928708.post-85312581183923457782010-05-04T11:36:00.976-04:002010-05-04T11:36:00.976-04:00Yeah, there's exceptions i suppose. And all o...Yeah, there's exceptions i suppose. And all of these guys are established pros, unless youre doing some kinda indy book its gonna be hard to get into the biz unless you're an amazing talent all the way around (ahem Cory!) I'm also not saying to just burn through things just to do them as fast as possible either, but it IS a deadline heavy business, so sometimes that might be the case with these books. Like when POWERS went to marvel the art got significantly better...and i wonder how much of that had to do with him coming to his end of the line deadlines at image and then having more time at marvel? Of course, that was '04/'05 and Oeming was doing lots of projects all at once before he went to Marvel.<br /><br />Mostly though, with me, it was some specific clients and projects that really sort of killed me, so i'm glad to realize that there's a little less pressure, and i can relax and have more fun and experiment more...who knows, maybe i'll bust that brush out again!<br /><br />...maybe.Eric!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00263067670863736790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044991342154928708.post-73288477789088097122010-05-04T07:52:08.209-04:002010-05-04T07:52:08.209-04:00I envy you/understand what you're saying.
I t...I envy you/understand what you're saying.<br /><br />I totally agree with the concept. Some of the best comics aren't visual dynamite; they tell a great story.<br /><br />I think it's why JRjr keeps getting big gigs: his art isn't the best when it comes to rendering or style, but his storytelling is top-notch. <br /><br />Unfortunately, it's a reality of the biz that sometimes great art is all that can save a book. If you get shafted with a writer with wooden dialogue or slapshod pacing, nailing the art might be the only way to keep you employed! <br /><br />Then again, if they're that bad, yer probably screwed!<br /><br />Good post. Makes me think about things a bit more. Now if only I could get myself to draw anything beyond head-shots and rough sketches!JEFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07138100699212211784noreply@blogger.com
