I am super excited to finally be showing you what my sketches look like before they go into final art. Thanks to Avtar Gil for your question!

In this episode, I also share some updates on my 100 day project, my summer plans, and my thoughts on what to do if a client tells you to “just do what you do — we’ll love it no matter what”. Spoiler alert: the client won’t love anything you do.

This video starts with news and chit chat as always! The actual Q&A starts around 18:30.
