The Etherington Brother's Guide to how to stay CRAZY ENTHUSIASTIC about your art, FOREVER!

Here's one for those of you with long journeys ahead this Holiday season, who want us Etheringtons chattering in your ears while you're on your travels :)

We're very chuffed to announce that we were recently interviewed by the fine folks over at the LICAF podcast, in which we talk about...

HOW TO MAINTAIN MASSIVE LEVELS OF PASSION AND ENTHUSIASM THROUGHOUT YOUR ENTIRE CAREER!
Why you should base your WORK ETHIC on the unstoppable ambition of A 7-YEAR OLD KID!
The official way to say MONKEY NUUUUTS!!!!
Why we're RIPPING UP the rule book on how we publish our comics, and why you should too!
Why we HARDLY EVER do any CONCEPT ART for our books!
HOW Robin and I chose which one of us would WRITE and which would DRAW!

We have a lot of fun in this one - think we spend more time laughing than actually answering questions :)

It's a long show full of all sorts of other non-Etherington stuff, but OUR INTERVIEW BEGINS 21m 35s in: LISTEN TO THE FULL INTERVIEW RIGHT HERE!

2018 preview TEN: More NEW tutorials that EVER BEFORE coming in 2018!

It's been so amazing to get messages of thanks for the tutorials from so many of you, from kids, students and hobbyists just starting out, to professionals at companies such as Pixar, Sony Animation and Blizzard to name a few, all letting me know that these tutorials are useful and appreciated.

But we've only just begun! In 2018 I'm going to be giving you EVEN MORE new tutorials than I did this year, as I continue work towards my goal of building a COMPLETELY FREE online ENCYCLOPEDIA of drawing EVERYTHING!

Learning to draw is something which SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE, not just those who can afford art school or online courses and subscription services which charge a premium. I'm on a one-man mission to make a learning resource for drawing which is so comprehensive that you never need to pay to learn again, because online art education should be FREE for EVERYONE, FOREVER.

Paywalls DOWN, skills UP!

Lorenzo!
