📹 Character Workshop with Beth Spencer
Co-Hosting Introvert Drawing Club with Beth Spencer
In August 2025, I unpublished over 1000 posts from Ten Minute Artist.
I was thinking about the direction of the newsletter and it was difficult to move forward with such a huge backlog. In the end I decided to unpublished everything, and slowly bring them back in the new context. That context is now called Back Issue. Here I republish a previously published piece. With new context and some light editing. Back Issues are available to all paid subscribers, and I recommend especially for readers who are interested in working in publishing, as an illustrator.
This is one such back issue …
Here I co-host an
and really enjoyed the format, and I loved the chance to collaborate with Beth!
We turned a Rabbit and Fox into characters, using the same process I used to develop characters for Down the Hole. (My US Picturebook Debut)
We also talked about how we were in the same Make Art That Sells Class in 2020. And how Beth got signed to do her first picturebook.
The session was live and people came up with so many character development sketches and ended with some really cool characters in a situation. You can see that in the end.
You can also sign up for Beth’s Introvert Drawing Club, which is a great way to draw regularly! Beth is a great host and I always enjoy drawing with everyone!
Here’s the video, thanks to everyone who left a great review and said how much you learned and enjoyed it, I appreciate you!
