Congratulations Gerald for completing the Draw 365 Challenge, which for this Leap Year, is the Draw 366 Challenge! I've seen many start the challenge, but few actually take it to the end of a year. Gerald Garcia is an amazing artist with a lot of energy. Anyone who completes the Draw 365 Challenge can't be called lazy.

You might think that he had to keep his daily drawings simple...

Erin is a professional illustrator/animator working for Rovio. I'm always amazed at the volume and quality of work he puts out.

Every kid likes to draw but when did you start drawing seriously?  I've been drawing since I can remember, but I didn't get serious about it until 2003.  I had always taken art courses throughout my schooling, but the most impact any place had was at San Jose State University.   They have an Animation/Illustration program, where you are surrounded by like-minded people and everyone wants to get better.  There's a bit of heathy competition there, as with most art schools. Your sketchbooks are unmatched for outrageously great sketches. When did you start keeping sketchbooks?   Thanks!  I have always been...
