Re: Sketch cards and submissions

Tue Jul 8, 2008, 2:07 PM

Since I stopped taking sketch card commissions, I've gotten a ton of notes and messages asking me for critiques and that sort of thing. I honestly don't have the time currently to go over each individual's portfolio (find me at a con; I take some time each day to do just that, though, once I'm done, I'm done!).

But thankfully, another Deviant has taken on some of the burden for me. Karen K. put together a little journal a few weeks ago (sorry it took me so long to put it up here Karen!)that illustrates some things that may help those of you out there needing crits.

Check it out here! [link]

I'll post in a few days about SDCC, where I'll be, etc.

The best way I see to give advice is for them to Sketch more often.

That and to pop on over to my DA area and watch my tutorial vids

All great methods

Thanks for the heads up

I've never submitted a submission in my life, but I'm sure there will come a day, and this will help a lot

Thanks for the tips, Mark!

I already got those books, though, but you reminded me... my library is getting way to big to keep track of
