Why I share these lessons

Passing it on

When I was an aspiring artist, I was blessed to have a close friend, Glenn Herdling, who worked at Marvel. The advice he shared—and the guidance I received from Marvel editors and other professional artists—was incredibly valuable.

When I became a professional comic-book creator, I promised myself I would help as many aspiring artists as I could. Through this website, I’ve been able to pass that knowledge on to thousands of artists. I hope these tutorials help you on your own journey.
