Phase 4: The Art of Holding Your Breath

Step 4: Cartooning for Survival

It's not just about drawing, it's about holding it together.

When the world around you is crumbling and the coffee shop is out of donuts, you need to find the strength to keep on creating.

Here's how:

Phase 4.1: Inhale and Exhale, Repeat

Take a deep breath, and then another, and another... you get the idea.

• Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, out, in, out...
• Try to do it in sync with your pencil lead's wobbly waltz.
• Don't worry if your editor starts to get annoyed.

Phase 4.2: The Art of Faking It

When in doubt, just pretend you're a pro.

Smize it up, folks, like you mean it.

• Fake it till you make it, or until your deadline is near.
• Don't be afraid to use a little Photoshop magic.
• Just remember, it's all about the attitude, baby.

Now that we've reached Phase 4, it's time to take a step back and re-evaluate our progress.

Are you still breathing? Good. Now go get some more coffee.
