Ep. 014: To Each Their Own Toth
14 Feb 2022
00:12:46
DRAW & JAW: ALEX TOTH IN DEPTH Episode 014 - To Each Their Own Toth
On Artists' Criticism and Self-Criticism: Toth could be a tough critic, but tougher even more so on himself. It can be difficult for artists to hear criticism, but it's one way we can grow if we can take it, and apply it. Being too rough on yourself can stop creative flow and productivity, not hard enough and we don't improve. Achieving that balance, Toth's critique of Rude's Johnny Quest comics pencils, and more is covered here. +++ For a daily dose of Toth images, and for updates on the show Follow @alextothindepth on Instagram. +++ Alex Toth In Depth is hosted by Paul Fricke, cartoonist and comics instructor at the Minneapolis College of Art & Design since 2012.
