LIAN THIS RULES. It was so satisfying to read that list of different dragon traits??? Like it soothed my mind. This whole thing was so calming in its methodical-ness-- I'm gonna refer back to it in 2 months when I'm panicking about how to draw the DMV. CAN'T WAIT FOR MY COPY TO ARRIVE!!!
This is brilliant! Not just seeing your process behind the creation of these dragons but the step by steps for those of us who need a good prod and poke in the right direction! Thank you
Well this was genius! I'm so glad I found you! I recently started adding drawing to my writing and I'm so interested in what works for others (as I discover what words for me). Thanks so much for sharing.
Just this morning I was thinking about different art forms that are out there and maybe I can pick one to start my learning. Then I read Austin's blog about how to not worrying about this fact that you have be a typical type of artists. And now I saw this post of yours and it just is what I needed today. Thank you for showing the process.
I came across this post via Austin kleon newsletter! Delightful post, as well as being a simple and effective guide, it also made me laugh - out loud - a lot - half hour later… still smiling! Thank you for sharing! :)
I’ve always had an affinity with dragons - this blog has bought me so much joy on so many levels: atheistically, process, editorial tone and how to Substack like a boss.
I laughed out loud at the "rawr" 😂 so relatable to have an uh-oh moment when doing something new. Congrats on getting through to the other side! Love to see a project come together 😍
So awesome to see this behind the scenes! I think often my fear of not knowing how to do something stops me from trying. This is really comforting to read! Just go and do it 😊 you’ll figure it out.
LOVE this breakdown of your process! The "rawr lmao" 😂

Wow, what an insightful post, thank you so much for sharing (and drawing)!
Such a great post! I saw it in Austin Kleon’s newsletter and signed up for yours.
Thank you so much for sharing this. My past week has sucked and this post is inspiring and joyful, I appreciate it a lot.
Boy can I relate to saying yes to tasks beyond my remit and then in a cold sweat, learning by the seat of my pants!

Love it. Micro that is so macro. Art school in a couple of scrolls. Imitate until you innovate. Well done. FYI wrote about something similar re: comedy here: https://funnyhow.substack.com/p/using-imitation-to-reveal-your-voice

I loved reading this!! I'm going to read it whenever I feel panicked about drawing something
