Love this Maple! Makes me feel better that I take ages, literally weeks and months, to read a comic or graphic novel. I don’t know how people whoosh through so quickly, there’s so much to see! I like to have a good stare at line weight and then forget the story and have to go back a few pages!
I think I need to rewatch Amadeus now. Great post -- and really nice examples to call out that technique.
Thank you, Amy. And yes! Amadeus is a wonderful movie that's totally worth rewatching! :D

Reading slowly to internalize things and to immerse fully in those fantastic worlds are the best! :)
Seeing is important to every artists! I love spending time with other artists as I get to see what they are looking at and wonder at it myself!
Me too! I always learn so much from everyone! :D
Love reading your research and process :)
Big thanks, Alina! :)
Thanks for this clear and concise tip. I mean to go back and study the books that grab me, but it’s often back to the library for something new!
I do that a lot as well, but I tried to reread books that I find especially intriguing so to learn from them. So many good books. So little time.
