Wrestling Demons

This is a rule of thumb guide for panel creation that Jonathan Rector recommended I use. I printed it out and now it is in front of me whenever I make comics.

There is a certain calm after I finish a project or a drawing. I’m not sure how to explain it but I know that after I draw anything, and sink into it, it has a certain hypnotic effect. I come out refreshed. I guess in a way it’s a form of meditation, one that up until now I have just discovered. I try to draw at least one thing every day and when I don't, I feel a little empty. It doesn’t have to be a big project or anything like that, just something small or a quick sketch works just fine too. Although most these days I have some project or commission pending, I have to sometimes get away by drawing something of mine. Getting the chance to create my own thing tends to wrestle the demons in my head. I’m still trying to master them. That's why I love making comics.

Until next time, keep drawing.
