Whilce Portacio on learning by seeing

“You learn from everything that you see. And you don’t want to limit yourself to just comics. I got interested in drawing because of a tree that grew in my front yard. One day the tree struck me as being really cool and I thought, ‘What makes that tree totally cool to me?’ Once you stop learning from things around you, you stop becoming an artist and you become what they call jaded.”
