This week's episode features answers to questions on creating depth, writing, visual comic vocabulary, drawing for exposure, story vs art, and what to do when art isn't fun anymore. AudioFuel this week comes from Sylvester Stallone, Martha Wainwright, and the late Joseph Campbell. As always, I encourage you to jump to the section in the show that you fancy the most (times indicated below) and be sure to check out the show notes at comicfuel.wikidot.com/wiki:episode-4."...it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." Rocky Balboa's inspirational speech to his son in the 2006 installment into the Rocky franchise is definitely the inspiration for this show. There're a lot of projects I work on right. Art, design, and educational experiences I am currently slaving away over. I spend a lot of time, and incur a good deal of mental anguish, trying to figure out what the "right" thing to do is as a day job. When Rocky talks about taking hits, in my context that is all about my own personal demons regarding my design process. My own shadow/devil on my shoulder telling me I'm wasting my time. Last month, I'll be honest, I almost considered #ComicFuel a waste of my time. Three episodes in and I was ready to give up. I almost didn't finish episode 3. Even during the process of doing it, I didn't want to finish it. I did finish, barely, and then I swore to myself that I wasn't going to do another episode the same way again (if I did another episode). So I called Adam and asked him to record a quick episode where we powered through a ton of questions. It turned into a longer episode.
