Working on one of the locations for the new Front comic. I’m a cheater! #sketchup jerzydrozd.tumblr.com/post/174536452…

I asked for it! I made a joke about “cheating” at my art, and it got some folks rising to defend or dispute the question of whether or not one can cheat at making comics. I give what can only be described as an affirmation for anyone who has ever been called a “cheater”, and try to explore where this misconception comes from.

But when I start?I’m a beginner who knows nothing.Which, come to think of it, is a very good thing.⁰

Today I share some of my experiences in thumbnailing the new Front story I hope to start updating on Sugary Serials in February. I borrow some wisdom from J.M. DeMatteis to help make my points more lucid, but the big idea is that there’s no escape from the terror of thumbnailing a story.
