Just make the tutorials when you can, I can wait:D

[MrBrickfilms]

Awesome lol

[geofftoons]

I don't know if I'll be able to create more tutorial videos because of how busy I've been lately, but if I can I will.

I appreciate the comments, even the ones giving me a hard time! ; )

Can you tell me some of the problems with being a cartoonist? I have a research paper to type and I feel that you can offer great assistance.

[geofftoons]

Hi Migitinacopper, sorry I didn't respond to you sooner. I hope you were able to find enough information to complete your paper.

As far as problems with being a cartoonist, that's a pretty in-depth issue, but if you look up some cartoonist's blogs, you should be able to find out some good information.

One of the biggest problems of being a cartoonist are clients that don't respect the hard work and practice that it takes to become good, and want you to work for "exposure" instead of real pay.

[xiaowensh]

Another good teaching programme! Thank you, Geoff. Hope you can continue with it!

[geofftoons]

Thanks for your comments, good and bad. This was my first video, so I was pretty nervous, hence the umm's and uh's. Looking at it again, yeah, it's pretty bad, but hopefully you able to learn a little more about the tools involved in cartooning.

I don't know if I'm going to get the chance to make more, it's been a pretty crazy year and the videos take a lot of time to produce. I'll try to do more if I can because it's fun to show the details involved in cartooning.

[Sousui]

Neato!

My favorite drawing utencil (because I dont draw in pencil, and that makes me an awful person.. sooo, I know my way around pens like an open hat, whatever that means! :D) is a pen called Precise V7, which is a rolling ball pen thingimojig, and I typically use "fine" for size, although they get much thinner..

I hope to become a storyboarder. ^.^ Wooooh!

Anyhow, nice vid. :D These things are neat.

[geofftoons]

Sousui, there aren't any right or wrong tools, use what you're comfortable with and produces the results you want. Good luck with the storyboarding!
