Look, that thing you want to do? Stop being a weenie and just do it.Β
Bottom images are from here.
Hey, kids - I see this post making the rounds again, and Iβd like to add some additional thoughts that Iβve gained in the 5+ years since originally making this post:
When I originally made this dumb comic in 2013, I was a Graphic Designer for a Radio Station in Ohio. As of this writing in 2018, I am a Storyboard Artist at Warner Bros. Animation. I am now one ofΒ βββthe professionalsβββ referenced in the third image. And let me tell you:
β¦I am still making things up as I go.Β
β¦I still donβt have character turnarounds.
β¦ I haveβ¦ some worldbuilding done. Not all of it, though. Thatβs going to be a permanent work in progress.Β
β¦Making the comic is the character study/studies.
β¦I am still convinced Iβm not working hard enough.
β¦You will never, no matter what you do or how far you go, ever feel like youβre completely ready to do something until you actually do it.Β
Trust me. Iβm a professional.Β
Coming at you again from the year of 2022 and working for Disney with an update: itβs all still true. I still have no idea what Iβm doing. This is getting ridiculous.
But seriously: the second you free yourself from the expectations of perfection you will suddenly be overleveled for many of lifeβs challenges.
Its 2025 now. No changes to report. As you were.
