OLD MAN TANNER SLEEPING

Thursday "I love My Friends" - Day 45

This post is dedicated to the Vision Casters Network. You know, it really helps when someone encourages you to keep doing something, because you know whatever you're doing must be, at the very least, admirable to that person. Well, I have been encouraged and inspired to move my drawings to another level and to continue pouring my heart into this journey. Thanks to www.visioncastersnetwork.net I have just a bit more validation for the consistent work I've been doing. AND THE WORK IS SO EASY! lol! I am putting more and more effort into making my drawings look appropriate (whatever that means. lol!) and into finding things of substance to discuss in my text-only posts.

Thanks to all of you who supporter this site. I hope it's been entertaining! Stay Tuned!

Wednesday - Day 39

Today was another awesome day! I actually left later than normal from my house and still got to work on time. Talk about divine intervention! I can just see it now. Angel's were flying ahead knocking cars out of the way and into ditches just so I could have a clear road to make tracks. Thank you Lord! lol! No really, I found out today that a student's father is also a great artist and he has been drawing since he was in the second grade. Apparently he is the man when it comes to sketching. I think it would be cool to have him sketch something for me in a video, kind of like an instructional video.

Anyway, I'm just rambling now. I hope you all enjoy the video.

Saturday - Day 35

I feel like "The Chosen One" when it comes to using Windows Media Maker. I just finished editing my Timmy Turner Sketch video and I will post it tomorrow. I took video requests from my students for cartoon sketches and I will take them from you as well!

Wednesday "As Promised" - Day 32

Sup Guys! Yesterday I promised to update you on how I made it to this point in my journey. At first, I was only going to note the assistance I received from other people, but I thought that it was also important to note the time management I used in the beginning part of my journey.

1. I decided that I truly loved cartoons and wanted to be a creator of them.

2. I started sketching pictures of cartoon characters from classic television shows. I found these pictures mostly on the internet (Google Images) and in story books. I am a fan of low detail solid line drawings.

3. Then, already knowing how blogs work, I chose a host website (www.blogger.com - very simple to use) and made a blog of my own.

4. The time management came into play once I became employed as a high school science teacher, who was responsible for students in grades 9 - 12. I had to make time everyday after school to post a drawing and a couple of words (because I wasn't doin' NATHANIEL when I got home! lol!)

5. I also made time everyday to DREAM BIG! In order to do this I would get something to eat, change into comfortable clothes, and relax. Then I would write down all of the things I wanted to happen IN THE PRESENT PERFECT TENSE!! (I think that's it. lol!)

6. When I started writing my goals on paper my mind was constantly working out how to reach them even without me knowing it. Then days would come where I all of sudden became inspired to do something toward my goals or someone would just come up and start talking to me about things related to my goals. Check out Becoming A Cartoonist - Day 2: Disclaimer, Sunday Morning - That Maroon 5 Feel..lol! Day 29, and Friday & Saturday Posts - Days 27 and 28)

7. Then I connected with like minded people who shared my vision. They were very helpful to me as I shared ideas and intimate details about my goals and the path to reach them.

Ultimately, I believe setting goals and writing them down on paper has allowed me to realize the potential this blog has to help me reach my final goal of becoming a cartoonist! Stay tuned kiddies! lol!

Cartooning Speed - Day 4

Okay! So far I have posted a video and a good number of pictures to begin my journey. So we're good.

Now I have two questions. The majority of the videos I watch on youtube or television show cartoonists who draw with amazing speed. Is this common? If so, how long will it take before I can get there?
