Right, so last Tuesday, I started attending a course for comic author. I hope I'll get a lot of helpful information and know-how from this about... well, everything about the creative process a comic requires.
Despite having a Master degree in graphic design, I wanted to specialize in comic books during my years in college. However, this turned out to me a massive mistake, since never at any point did the teachers actually teach us anything. They just supervised and told you to correct things.

I never developped a sense of narrative, pacing, layout and storyboarding, learn proper inking techniques, etc. . All this'll be adressed in this course, so I'm really looking forward to it.

It's a bit weird to sit in this "classroom", though. Virtually everyone else attending took the course 'out of interest'. Ain't a bad thing, but it's a bit awkward to have a head start over everyone else. >_<

Also, it's only once a week, so no stressing. Yay.

In other news, about a month ago, my mother suddenly got struck by cardiac arrythmia. While we got to the hospital in time, the arrythmia would've been fatal if we weren't aware of this. We were lucky we all were awake, I don't want to imagine if this happened while we were sleeping...
Luckily she wasn't struck by this anymore, but the doctors saw it fitting to implant a defibrilator. She doesn't like it, but I hope in time she'll learn to live with it.
