I have one question: who thought up and OK'ed that Circle of Life episode? It as an amazing episode, but man oh man, it was strange.

That was a long exciting story, how that came to be!

One of the AT designers, Michelle Xin, was in a chat room with the incredible animator legend Masaaki Yuasa, while he was answering questions about Kick Heart! She mentioned Adventure Time, and he mentioned liking it! It was a total coincidence, but so many members of the Adventure Time crew are such huge fans of his, and so he ended up storyboarding and animating the Adventure Time episode "Food Chain!" He was even here at the studio with us for a bit, which was truly amazing!

YOU HAVE NOT MISSED YOUR TIME!!!

Go go go! Draw every day! It is NEVER too late!

Here are books I used to improve, when I was 19.

David Chelsea, Perspective for Comic Book Artists

Draw the people around you! Study perspective, draw people STANDING ON THE GROUND, that is so important! Draw with no fear! Print out the kinds of drawings you like, and try to figure out why you like them, there must be a reason, and whatever it is, learn to do it! Don't be afraid to do bad drawings, they have no power over you, you can just throw them out!
