mack (Kirk) Hi Kirk,
Thanks for reading Kabuki!
so how long have you As long as I can remember.
: where you one of those people who just picked up a pencil I did always draw whatever I want. It didn't always necesarily resemble
anything recognizable in the material world, but making your own marks is
something anyone can do.
In terms of drawing images and anatomy accurately enough to tell a
story with images that have some grace and charm, that is just a lot of
PRACTICE and self discipline, and study. I've been drawing as long as I
can remember, so I should have some control of it by now.
But it is something that I had to work and struggle for. It is more an
effort of willpower, ambition, and problem solving than some inate talent.
There are a lot of talented people in this industry. And I have seen
some that seem to have that more inate drawing ability, in that they are
able to draw comic book type figures effortlessly. But that is not really
my talent.
My talents probably involve more of a way of seeing. I figure that
seeing or unique point of view gives me the ability to develope whatever
discipline interests me as long as I put a lot of effort, thought, and
will power into it.
how long did it I did my first COMPLETED story when I was in high school. I think it
was fifty something pages, and I sort of worked on it all year. But I
worked on developing that craft all the time on projects before and after.
Time really wasn't something I considered when working. One of fun
things about working is that I can lose all sense of self and time. When
things are going very good, there is sort of another dimension that you
are operating in which time and self are not a factor.
So I always wonder what is behind that sort of question of how long it
takes to do a page or a book. I'm probably naive, but I always wondered if
I'm missing something in that people ask that. I guess it is a way of
measuring something with time as a unit of measurement of the activity.
if i You are welcome to. Just post it on the board:)
One Amazing synchronicity! It must be a sign:) Which makes me want to say, that we are all always in the right place
at the right time, wether we want to be or not.
Best,
