Episode 71 - The Brave New World of Comics (With Dan Lawlis)
Veteran comic artist Dan Lawlis joins us today for a long awaited interview. The moment I saw Dan’s work - I knew this was a guy I needed to talk comics with(and collaborate with someday too).
He’s worked for a bunch of comic book companies, and on a ton of titles throughout the decades - and now, after stepping away to do a stint in storyboarding and advertising, he’s returned to a brave new world of opportunity for comic creators that simply never existed before.
And he’s having more fun in comics than ever before!
Here’s what we’re talking about in today’s interview
• How comics broke Dan Lawlis’s heart.
• What not to do if you want your art to have energy and soul.
• The weird effect ‘over-thinking’ has on your art.
• How to draw accurately, while making your art less generic
• How to get mentored by your favourite artists - for free.
• The profound connection between making comics, and making movies.
• The cutting-edge new way of making and marketing comics.
• The one missing element that causes traditional comics to win out over digital every time.
If you liked this interview, show your support by commenting, sharing or subscribing.
Enjoy the show.
