My professor didn't care what we drew so long as we were "loosening" up. Max: Warmup sketching was required in all of the art courses I took in college.

I'd say you have it all now son...a lovely little girl, wonderful wife, your own place and a decent job. Keep up the creations and remember --------------- it all began with a pumpkin and your imagination. -Proud Dad in the Valley of the Eastern Sierra Nice spider…also, it was great seeing Zoe tonight on the webcam.

It is the most critical and most often ignored beginning in most creative processes. Also, when I'm about to sit down to work on a comic page, I sketch for a good fifteen minutes or so as a warm up. If I don't do that, my page looks like crap. It is just like stretching before your workout. When I get done, I usually have a page of body parts or just squiggles. Nothing great or of any use, other than it got me ready to draw a finished product. Couldn’t agree more on sketching/brainstorming.
