Thunder Punch Daily 145 – Thumbs of Terror

January 24, 2012 by  
Filed under Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily

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.

    Thank you for addressing the fear of the blank white page. I battle that with every assignment, but it shows up as procrastination. Keep up the great podcasts. You and your co-hosts keep me informed and hopeful as I am doing homework for my own illustration degree.
