Is it too late to learn to draw? – Artyfactory Portraits

I do the most important things in my life drawing, I study art and I’m drawing comics when I’m bored or I want to be more productive. Sometimes, a really great drawing will come to me and when that happens it really feels like magic. But for the most part I’ve only ever done something I really love and think I’m good at.

I really loved my first comics because I did some really great layouts. It really opened up my world like in cartoons. It got me out of my bubble to see what was really happening to people and it’s really cool because I know what I like and why I like it.

I don’t think what I’m doing’s “better” than anything. If anything, I feel like I’m working with the best of me.

I have this amazing artist friend. He works for Image. He has these great ideas about comics, but he can’t write or draw and he’s like, “Oh, I love comics but I suck at it.”

So I got out of him and I had been drawing. It’s weird and I’m like “Fuck! I can start drawing now!”

It was like, ‘Yeah, you can use my brain! You can use my brain! You can use me!'”
