I'm Jade and I draw stuff! :) I've been drawing things for most of my life and started selling my art back in 2008. I started creating my original graphic novel series called Game Over in 2009 and finally printed it in 2012. It's been a labor of love, blood, sweat, and lots of tears. But mostly blood. Through creating Game Over, I've learned a lot about the creation process and started sharing that experience at conventions, answering questions about the process and what goes into creating a graphic novel. The uploading and formatting process is very difficult to cover in a 1 hour panel and requires lots of visuals, so I decided to make a video others could reference after panels. I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful. Thanks for watching!
