Larry Marder on practice

At some point in the mid-90s, Nickelodean (or maybe it was the Disney Channel) showed a brief interview with Beanworld creator Larry Marder. I think he was being interviewed by a kid, who asked him how to get good at making comics. Larry held his hand about 2 feet above the desk he was sitting at and said something to the effect of "start with a stack of paper this high, and draw on every sheet. When you get done with that stack, get another stack and draw on every sheet. The only way to get better at drawing is to do it over and over."

That advice is identical to the 10,000 Hours rule, though as a child it was a lot easier to grasp a giant stack of papers.
