Skillz to pay the billz

Journal Entry: Fri Jan 23, 2009, 6:05 AM
For those about to draw. I salute you.

Hello deviants. I was out and about the other day and found something remarkably effective to any artist that draws the human figure and/or likes the theroy of dynamics, weight and force..etc I was training with a room full of athletes that were getting ready for the Taekwondo US open. they were doing alot of crazy floor crawls and wall bridges and...woah talk about real potent life drawing! I had no choice but to grab my sketch book and try to get those split second poses of guys abnd girls doing kicks jumps, spins and rolls. Realy pushed my skills. So if your an artists who's into life drawing and can't find any models? Go to a local karate club or anything affiliated and try to sit in on some classes and draw away! Try it!....seriously... Do it.

they say the best way to go is to consistantly attend comic conventions with a portfolio on hand. Once I get some cash in the bank I'm gonna travel down there for that stuff ( as if it was here lol ).

OR you can try to print your own book, THEN take it to the con. I've worked with some other guys and that is the way to really get your foot in the door.
