How to Convey a Message or Story With Your Art
-
You guys are a hoot! I was sitting here brainstorming on how to make my MerMay contest art tell a story when I found this thread. How cool is that? I also like the idea of a video version as I'm more of a visual learner. I really appreciate your hard work. Thanks guys!

Oh my gosh, you guys make me giggle so hard. Thank you for that... and for a great lesson of course.
I seriously cannot listen to the, at my day job. I am laughing out loud.

@Sara-Hickman I listen with my headphones at home and my husband is constantly asking “what are you laughing at?!”
Me: you would understand honey.

@Jake-Parker Great episode. And this if my favorite of Tanner's images!
-
@burvantill I picked an old episode for my husband to listen too. He was like I see why you like them!
-
@Sara-Hickman great idea! I’ll have to look back and see if there is anything up his alley. He’s handy but not artsy.

All three of them are very silly humans
The thingy that helped me with storytelling is reading stories, and also will eisners books on visual narrative. I may have to revisit them and maybe help me reinforce some of the things i learned from svslearn.

Here are the books if anyone wants to browse around for them

@burvantill the one about the art failures where Will tells the story about drawing the turtle is the one we listened too.
-
@Whitney-Simms I’ll second that. I’ve taken several licensing courses but learned more in this short course than several others combined!
-
@Sara-Hickman OMG! That's the one I was going to show him. LOL! Great minds think alike.

@Jake-Parker Just a random side note to this episode. I just listened to it for a second time and I was cracking up at the stories you guys had about snow. We live in Alaska and one of the first things I learned when I moved here was that the Inuit people have something like 50 different words for snow. (hardened icy snow, softly falling, flurries, blizzarding, the slushie stuff...) Just thought I'd share that little tidbit.
