Just sharing this again for #portfolioDay but really should be sharing my woodworking as that’s clearly why people follow me now not the fact I’m an experienced environmental artist with decades and half of experience.

i can, and often do! when pressed on my issues with it, its hard to explain what i feel is lacking. its just a vague idea that I need to try to identify so that I can improve upon

i often make short comics between 8-18 pages, and usually study works of similar lengths to gain insight on story density, pacing, page flow, etc!

I do have a vague idea of what I connect to most in my favorite works, but I’m often poor at assessing things that aren’t strictly visual. It hasn’t been until recently that I’ve improved my (meager) skills for assessment and breakdown of comics, it’s hard for me to find the steps to improve that!

carson thorn @carsonthornart.com · 9h

im often pleased with how my actual drawings come out, even when i see all the flaws and make notes for what to improve on next, but im so rarely satisfied with my current personal comics and have such a hard time gaging what my problem is

I run it through wine! this is a great thread for getting such a thing up and running

This has been my last few days, so some notes if you're going on a Linux+CSP journey:

- Install the latest version of Wine! The one in your distro provides is likely outdated, check here to install it correctly: gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/...

i never buy microsoft products, and im determined to make my current ipad pro the last apple product i ever buy.

If i can make the switch to traditional art for work over the next few years, i think i will be set.
