Small note: In this video, I combined topic and theme as one and I just realised they are also two different things. I’m still figuring it out and learning the fine differences between these things!:)

[@NietsdlogKram]

This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing your process!

[@MattCelf]

That was exactly the video I needed to start the new year off, cheers. I didn't know you were nominated for an Eisner! cool. Can't say I'm surprised tough, really nice work. Line work and colour is really, really nice.

[@Drewscape-art]

Thanks Matt. Yes, it was nice to be nominated for that comic. But doing it again is another matter😄 Every comic story is a new challenge and it’s a constant thing to learn and try to make the next comic good one:)

[@litalkadosh5767]

Definitely!

[@limaomaisvelho]

I remember the cockroach in shoe story 😂

[@Drewscape-art]

Me too. I now ask Ollie to check her shoes.

[@charlierharper]

I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your journey, process, and work.

[@Drewscape-art]

Thanks for taking time to drop me a note:)

[@danwongphoto]

so happy you're making these videos Andrew! I love my copy of Ollie Comics, as well as your work - it's so cool to learn about your process and see your train of thought as you make work! Thank you!

[@Drewscape-art]

Thanks Dan:) so cool coming from a fellow comic artist! Hoping the video will help explain some things for the new autobiographic comics project at school😄 see u at school?

[@danwongphoto]

Oh i think that might be another Dan Wong - I live in the UK!!! :) but I try to learn as much as I can from as many places as possible (experimenting, books, youtube etc), so your channel is really helpful and insightful!@@Drewscape-art

[@Drewscape-art]

@@danwongphotohaha my mistake! There is another Dan Wong here who does comics and teaches! Yes keeping that learning spirit going is how we get better at our art. Keep going Dan!

[@Serrus]

love how you demystify the process, clean and clear!

[@Drewscape-art]

Thanks. Time to make thiose comics!

[@ndadaboy]

Thank you! This is such a great video!! You had already inspired me to try and make some daily comic strips as a 2024 goal. So far I’ve only had a single storytelling panel, because my days have been pretty uneventful. Love your channel and all the insights you share!

[@Drewscape-art]

Cool that u already have single panel stories. Those are challenging to do too. I grew up with Gary Larson’s Far side and I have an appreciation for single panel comics:)

I always learn something new in your videos, thank you very much! ^^

[@meivisco4033]

This is a beautifully made video, thanks for sharing ❤

To paraphrase Lloyd Kaufman of Troma Entertainment: Now you have the storyboard, you can shoot your own damn movie :-)

[@Drewscape-art]

Yes and the storyboard seems to be the most challenging part:)
