Episode 62 - Overcoming Laziness & Meeting Your Deadlines (With Clayton Barton & Ed Foychuk)
In our latest episode of the How to Draw Comics Podcast, Ed Foychuk and I caught up to discuss the topic of 'laziness', and how to avoid it so you can meet those impending deadlines!
If you want to make money from your art, chances are you're going to take on more than a few art commissions throughout your career.
But more importantly, you'll have to be motivated, and a true professional to get them back to your clients on time.
That's not always easy!
Especially when you're held down by the very human condition known as laziness. We've all felt it, and more often than not. Truth is it never really goes away, our default mode tends to be lazy.
The trick is prevailing none the less. Putting your nose to the grind stone and knocking out what needs to be done.
Easier said then done right?
It most certainly is, which is why we'll be sharing our best techniques and strategies in the hopes of helping you kick the habit of laziness a little easier.
Because most of the time that's all laziness really is. A habit. And that's what makes it so difficult to get ourselves back in the game when we're at our least productive.
We hope you enjoy this episode of the HTDC Podcast and get a ton of value out of it. Thanks for listening and if you'd like more comic art tips, tricks and techniques be sure to visit us at www.howtodrawcomics.net.
