TPD 158 – Catching Up and Advocating

TPD 157 – How and Why

Art SoundOffThis time I respond to an Art SoundOff entry by Owen Jollands, who submitted some thoughts on how we might apply more scientific thinking to our art analysis. Having no scientific background of my own, I share how teaching comics classes has improved my own journaling and reflection.

TPD 156 – Art Journaling and Teaching

Character DesignIt’s dawned on me that I haven’t done any proper “art journaling” for this Art Soundoff challenge, so I take a break from my essays to share and reflect on some of the things I’m working on today.
