Posted by I can’t recall how I stumbled onto Jarrett’s work, but my kiddo and I visit his website a lot for the wonderful drawing activities and comics.
Resources for Illustrators
Whether you are learning how to draw, teaching a kid to draw, or just want a warm up, Jarret’s activity pages are a wealth of information. Jarrett uses simple shapes, iconic mental models, and catchy instructions to break down how to draw everything. He also has a blog and some video tutorials.
Give This Book a Title, his new drawing activity book for kids (and like-minded adults), comes out this December.
When Illustrators Get Stuck
If I’m ever feeling stuck or uninspired, I switch things up. I’ll go from writing on lined paper to writing on construction paper. Or instead of a pen, I’ll use a crayon. I’ll write on sticky notes, or napkins – whatever. I think this sort of approach and spirit gives your creativity, imagination, and any particular idea you’re hunting down the most space to breathe and properly, fully emerge.
