Inspired by shooting with so many of his comic creator heroes, late bloomer (and Definitive Film’s resident cinematographer) Isaac Elliott-Fisher begins his burgeoning career as a comic artist himself and invites the world to watch.
Things have been busy with many movie projects, some of which have designs to be discussed here in future episodes. This episode explores some of the costume and design elements that have gone into developing one of Isaac’s sci-fi/fantasy character concepts, while also exploring the style development of his female characters in general.
Isaac is back with three new drawings. This time he talks about design and workflow while dissecting a piece he drew twice over, so he could build on the notes he was given by others.
Following up on episode 9 this is a continuation of the same piece in the inking stages. I talk a little bit about what I was focusing on in this image, as well as what I learned and where I think I need to improve.
In this episode I am experimenting with a new format for the show that I might drop in from time to time while working on longer pieces like this. I follow up on my last episode where I started this latest “Pin-Up” piece and show the pencil process entirely in time-laps with commentary.

In the last episode I was reviewing my development as an artist through the characters of Benson and Cactus. This episode continues that review and looks at the comparison between the first pass at the mini comic and the new attempt at the same material. All this while also talking about my further technique development […]
Benson & Cactus and a guy learning how to draw, we are back again. This time we are exploring the development of Benson & Cactus, a story concept involving a federal agent and his chain smoking, foul mouthed potted cactus partner. It was with this concept that I started down this path of learning how […]

Back again for another episode of me learning how to draw better. This time I mainly focus on the basics of drawing, drawing tools, and a little bit of technique, so if you’re an experienced artist already, it might not be super exciting. I do however share a few tips I have picked up from […]
As the name suggests, my latest experiment is a new video podcast documenting my adventures in teaching myself how to draw better. I have been dabbling in comic art illustration for a couple of years now and have been thoroughly enjoying the process. I started filming time lapses of comic pages I was doing for […]
