Sit Up Straight!
May 27th, 2009 by Matt
Some advice for young artists:
Learn how to draw at the table with good posture.
Y’know, sit up straight and don’t lean over the artwork, like Mom used to tell ya…
…Think about the amount of wear and tear that your back will have to endure if you have bad posture and you become a successful comic book artist - we’re talking about 10-30 years of sitting hunched over a drawing board, day in and day out. That’s gonna to do some major damage, kiddo. I’ve seen many old timers (and not so old timers) walking around looking like they’re next in line to ring the bells at Notre Dame, and it’s mostly thanks to bad posture.
I should have called Dan Berger in 1978 and paid him to make my point, just to save the aggravation!
