Lifetime art goals

Sun Nov 8, 2009, 3:46 PM
There was a point a few years ago in my comic drawing 'career' that I gave myself a goal of drawing a thousand pages of comics before dying. At that point I had resuscitated my drawing habit to the point where that seemed quasi-realistic if not likely.

A few years after that I counted up what I had done (I'm counting false starts, unpublished/unsold & really old stuff, as long as it's a complete drawn sequential page) and came up with something in the mid-140s... and felt pretty good about it. A thousand didn't seem like that big of a number anymore.

Today I counted up again and came up with 255. That's just over 25 percent!
This 1000 thing may happen someday! I can do about a page a week, so I could conservatively see this happen within twenty years. ;)

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
:icondalgoda7:
Sure thing! Do you normally ink with a pen?

These days it's about half and half. I prefer the freedom of a brush but a good crowquill handles much the same as a brush when you hold it right.
