New Punctation Instructional Video - The Serial Comma

So, here's my first video for Griffin Tutoring the YouTube Channel. It's an instructional vid about serial commas. It's  shot in mostly close-ups.

I plan on making these vids a bit more personal eventually, but for now I'm keeping them short and sweet.

This is the first in a few videos dealing with the comma. I'll do a few more videos on the punctuation and then I might move onto teaching basic drawing or basic elementary math problems. Eventually, I might even have some ukelele lessons I'll teach. The point is, I'll be producing more and more free videos

to give back to the YouTube Community and of course, promote my online tutoring business and packaged courses.

Here's the link to me first vid.

Drawing Lessons

Recently, I've had the good fortune of tutoring a drawing student. Breaking things down, into simple steps, that's what it's about.

The folllowing books are great introductory books for learning the basic figure. Now granted, it's comic book illustration but it's great at proportioning out the figure. You can always pick up more advanced books on shading and fine details later.

The following books are:

How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way

By John Buscema & Stan Lee

&

Superheroes: Joe Kubert's Wonderful World of Comics

By Joe Kubert

They cover everything from body proportions to musculature, hair styles to poses.

The Marvel book is great if you like drawing comics, heck, even if you're a regular comic drawing veteran it's always a great refresher course.

This brings me to my point. Whenever I tutor anyone, especially in art, it's like a refresher course for myself too! It causes me to go over the basics of technique. Kind of like an athlete that continues to drill the basics of movement and coordination. You remember why you draw the way you do, what you've forgotten and what you've remembered.

It never hurts to relearn through someone else.
