Saralene Tapley has created her first comic strip. A Day in the Naughty Life of Queso is a mini-comic about her cat and the adventures he has on a daily basis. We recently had the opurtunity to talk to her about this experience:
What was it like creating your first comic strip?
It was very challenging. I don't usual draw from my imagination. At times I felt very helpless.
How is drawing from your imagination different than using a reference.
I had to try and create mental pictures. A photographic memory would have been helpful. I had no perspective, lighting or subject references. Drawing from the imagination is a skill I have not cultivated.
Do you have plans to do more?
Not yet. (laughter)
