LIA Cast 359: Viewing Angle Tells the Story

Blog, YouTube / /


Working on the thumbnails for your next comic and discovered you’ve sketched dozens of pages of talking heads? We cartoonists can put the reader’s eye wherever we can imagine, so why don’t we? But how do you know where to put the reader’s eye? In today’s Lean Into Art Mini-Workshop Rob and Jerzy are going to help you find more visual interest on your pages and make more compelling comics.

LIA Cast 358 – Showing Up Socially, Balancing Quality and Effort

Blog, YouTube / /


Posting socially is something most independent creators need to work with. I’ve often been the show up when I’ve made something, share it, then mostly hang back and like other folks stuff approach.
But I know that I can do better, reach folks who I’m here to help. It takes more than that occasional post and that’s what I’m hoping to dig into with Jerzy Drozd today. I hope by the end of the show we’ll have some new questions to explore and ideas to try!

LIA Cast 357 – Write Posts Quickly With Prompts, Constraints, and Instinct

Blog, YouTube / /


When you sit down to write a blog post is that a comfortable creative activity? Are there times when it feels like the words are stuck or just not sure how to say what you’re really trying to say?

Recently Rob finished a 100 days in a row blogging challenge. That project and other writing he’s done in recent years for team collaboration, manifestos, pitches for funding, he’s noticed a few things he’s been practicing that are helpful he’d like to share.

Here in this mini-workshop, we’ll share some of these practices to write quickly with constraints, prompts, and instinct.

LIA Cast 356 – Prioritizing Your Work

Blog, YouTube / /


We’ve all been there–you start out with the promise of a new day, a reasonably curated to-do list, and a commitment to make your art. And suddenly you look at the clock and it’s the end of the day and all you have to show for it is seven or eight little piles of unfinished good intentions. This happens to all of us.

Whatever your skill level, it’s super easy to get lost in the various tasks that go into making art. And for good reason–not only is art a series of complex tasks, but we’re often performing the tasks in chunks of time either stolen from other commitments, or in the spaces between emotionally and physically expensive commitments.
