The SEQA DOJO: Freestyle Drawing

12/18/2018

0 Comments

 
Part of the Prime Vice Studios mission is to share knowledge about the sequential art medium and encourage artists to always develop their talent. With this in mind I’ve established the Seqa Dojo™ (Short for Sequential Art Dojo).

The SEQA DOJO Web series

This web series is a continuation of the Prime Vice Studios tutorials proudly sponsored by Comic Draw. Please enjoy, participate, and share.

Freestyle drawing is an excellent exercise to get started in the creative process.

Sometimes getting started is the hardest part of making comics. We get caught up with our ideas in our head instead of working through them in tangible forms. Freestyle drawing helps you get started.

How to get started:

1. Set up an uninterrupted time slot for art time.

2. Set your ritual. Have a place to draw and collect everything that you need and prepare to play.

3. Have a surface & tool.  You can’t do any drawing without something to do it with and something to do it on. Open up your Comic Draw app or at least have a pencil & pad to scribble on.

4. Fill the surface. Get your hands going and don’t stop until the page is filled or time runs out.

Understand and push the limits of your tool.
5. The last and most important step. Have Fun! If you are not having fun you are not doing this activity right.
