How are you able to redraw the same character over and over again and still make them look the same. i heard the first copy is the best…. I used to draw and then stopped when highschool started and i regret it. you have an amazing talent

Hey Craig! I understand how you felt meeting Mike Smith, Blankets for me was the novel that pulled me into starting my own. My biggest roadblock is inking!! In this post, what are you inking? A scan of the pencils, or tracing paper over the original sketch?
Can’t wait for Habibi! The art is outstanding.

Hi Craig, I’d like to say I just read Blankets, and I could really identify with the whole experience you had being a Christian myself and leaving the church. I love the way you summed up your faith in the Luke passage because it is such a beautiful important one, its significance often ignored . I could go on and on drawing up similarities, but instead I’d like to say thanks for being so honest and writing the book. It is by far, one of the best I’ve ever read and one I really identify with. I can see Habibi is turning out well too…I am waiting for it to come out. You are a great inspiration.
I hope you come to India one day and do a novel on our culture

wow, that’s crazy. i never buy expensive brushes since i’m poor and very rough on them, so they get messed almost immediately.

I have wanted to custom build a brush pen for a while, and in my head it always resembled the one you’re using.

Man, oh, man. You must have one heck of a steady hand to use a brush for such small details — your stuff is perfect! If there’s anything I have a huge problem with in terms of my own ‘artwork’, it’s craftsmanship. I’m sure you use micron pens and other ink mediums too but, man… how do you do the brushwork parts so flawlessly??! Eeeeeeeee~~

I love your style. :’D I can’t wait for Habibi.

Heya Craig,

I’m dying for Habibi! Any idea when the relaease date might be…ballpark? And I was wondering who inspires you and what would you reccommend I read in the meantime?

The national brushes over here in Brazil are declining fast in quality and their prices aren’t very accessible anymore. Your brush suggestions were a godsend!
Already bought me a Cotman and the Raphael and they’re wonderful! Even imported their prices are almost the same as national brands, and they kick ass!
Thanks for the tips and the wonderful books.
