Welcome to Creative Block! This week’s guest is HEATHER MAHLER! Heather is an illustrator, character designer, and comic artist whose work can be seen in the table-top RPG Drunkards, Druggies, & Delinquents, Nickelodeon intergalactic short the Other Side, and Titmouse's upcoming show DRAW YOUR WEAPON!
In this episode, VEE and SEAN talk to HEATHER about ART SCHOOL, and so much more!
While we talk, we doodle on a MAGMA, where we draw from prompts we got on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, THREADS, NEWGROUNDS, and PATREON. Subscribe to our channel to hear more stories of other animation professionals!
