Young talent.

When I was young many professional drawers made time for me. I visited them and send them drawings by mail. Old fashioned mail in an enveloppe. Not email. It was the eighties. They phoned me back to tell me my work was rubbisch. And they told me why. Now that I am a professional myself I try to do the same. At the moment I am working with the very talented 14-year old Jordy Knoop. ( Click the title of this post to go to his daily danger website.) We're doing a story about a bankrobery. With lots of cars. Cars are difficult and I try to push him to do difficult things. Doing easy things over and over again doesn't make you better. Here's a sketch for a car from him.



And this is my reply where I try to show him that he shouln't waste so much time on the details. It's more important to get a grip on the total shape so you can play with the car and put the camera where you want.
