I’ve mentioned several times in the past that I have a degree in cartooning/making comics. Even as a kid, I enjoyed making comic strips of whatever stories I had in my head. In fact, I liked making them so much that I went on to college with the goal of making comics for a living. Even though that experience was a bit of a roller coaster, there were still some valuable tips I learned during my time there that I still apply to my works today, from tips and time-saving tricks to some more ironclad rules of comic making. And since I have a YouTube channel, what better thing to do than to put my degree to good use!
