My Meeting with Rebecca Sugar

Comic Feature by Mercury-Marvin Sunderland

Advice for Setting out on Your Unique Path

 


Artist's Note: At the end of 2020, I met with animator Rebecca Sugar (she/they) for advice on how to pursue a future in animation. She offered advice about networking at comic cons, reading and drawing comics, and following your dreams. I've decided to draw this comic in order to share their wisdom for anyone else who wants to accomplish this dream.
