    My all time favourite artist both for what you produce but also for the process there’s something about watching you just “go” that’s so cathartic and inspiring.

    Think of it as a primitive first then convert it into a hat.

    The key to understanding how to draw and improve is to constantly draw everyday. Make sure you have a sketchbook with you everywhere you go and draw what you see before you decide to go towards fantasy. Stay loose and draw fast.

    Hi Ryan, I draw every single day for 4 years straight and I still struggle a lot with drawing eyes in a comic style. I can't seem to get out of the "amateur look". Like it does always looks unprofessional. It's so irritating it even became my art block sometimes. Artists like you, Jim Lee, Frank Cho or Swayart seem to have that face structure and eyes done to perfection. I do not get what to do... I am trying to make a comic book and learning how to draw in digital (just got a tablet) but frustration catches up.... I know I may not be the only one with this issue so I hope your answer helps me or someone else. Even if anyone knows something about this topic even. Thanks❤
