I think some people learn best with the kind of intellectual breaking down of ideas he practices. Others prefer a more intuitive approach. Thanks for posting this Marty.

Maybe it's because I received his book as a gift when recovering from surgery. No reflection on you. The demo and materials part sounds great.BDMontaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668132947298479801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-21101905252729648382016-08-31T18:52:26.034-07:002016-08-31T18:52:26.034-07:00Honest to God, I do not get the homework assignmen...Honest to God, I do not get the homework assignment.BDMontaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668132947298479801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-72482522251329433102016-08-31T16:44:27.873-07:002016-08-31T16:44:27.873-07:00Thanks for archiving these lesson materials here.Thanks for archiving these lesson materials here.MrGoodson2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02329640961760572269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-6271986247947821562016-08-30T22:58:38.313-07:002016-08-30T22:58:38.313-07:00Elz!

The old saying 'better you than me' gets changed to 'much better you than me.'<br /><br />The materials are great. I think you are onto the most important part of comic storytelling. To get people engaged you have to depend on people to make leaps with you. Do a better job of imagining than if you showed everything.<br /><br />Interesting that you are also going into the deep stuff with Story by McKee. <br /><br />Point out to them that their misunderstanding of the first assignment is a common problem with board artists. They don't read close enough to do the story on paper, they start on the one they form in their head with a first inattentive read.MrGoodson2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02329640961760572269noreply@blogger.com
