E9: How Long It Took Me To 'Get Good' As A Professional Comic Book Artist.
This is The Ninth Episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast - With Tim Mcburnie.
In this episode, I discuss an amorphous... yet important topic; How long it takes to get 'good'...
I don't think there is really any solid answer to this (or what 'good' even means)... but I wanted to try and share my story. How I went from being a rank amateur... to becoming published... and beyond.
I think the internal dialogue we have with ourselves is often just as important when it comes to these questions. So I focus on how long it took me to get published. Along with how I felt along the way.
My goal here is to be a bit more open and candid. So that hopefully my story and experiences can help you along your journey. (Although admittedly this mostly relates to the struggles I encountered)
Towards the end I also cover some basic tips and takeaways that I will hopefully help you to avoid some of the common pitfalls and mistakes that I ran into on my journey to becoming a professional artist.
