Text A

My Daily Working Routine

I try to wake up every day at 6:30 am. Occasionally, I cheat and wake up at 7. I make a pot of coffee, work on my comic for three hours, groom, pour another cup of coffee to go and leave for work. My sweet wife Angie usually makes a brown-bag lunch for me so I can get the most out of my lunch break.

I arrive at Disney just after 9:30. It only takes me about 8 minutes to get to work. The first thing I do when I sit down at one of my desks (one for real drawing and one for my computer) is look at my work from the day before. This might be a physical drawing or a set of sketches, a digital drawing, or reference photos. I assess the work from the day before, consider the approaching deadline and plan out how much time I will spend on each unfinished element. I’ve done this for so long that I can budget my time with surprising accuracy. When I get changes from my Art Director or Director the schedule can change.

I have one formal meeting every day with my Art Director, Production Manager and Art Department Coordinator. This is usually a really fun time for me because I love my colleagues. It’s fun catching up personally and professionally.

I work with them to make an action plan for the day and we set expectations, re-assess deadlines etc… These meetings can be five minutes or thirty – depending on how much there is to work on. We also have at least one weekly meeting with the director, producers, the PM, the ADC and the art department.

If I’m starting a new character (my favorite part of the process) I like to change my environment. I collect and print out my reference and go to one of the cafes at the studio or to a nearby Starbucks. I usually just sit and sketch all day long. Sometimes I’ll have two or three days to just explore a character. Other times the schedule is more compressed. I often spend the entire day painting. I leave the studio around 6:30 or 7 p.m.

During crunch time on a production, I will work overtime. Or sometimes I’ll do regular time on my main production but hop over to do for a different production, for the marketing department or for something involving Disney Consumer Products.

When I get home, I usually have dinner with my wife and we walk our dog together. Generally, I try to use mornings for me and evenings for others (family and friends). I also try to make and return phone calls in the evenings.

Lately (as I’ve been working hard to launch my comic) I have been working past 8 pm several evenings a week but I don’t really like to do that. I’m never at my best when I work past 8 p.m. At my worst, I’m grouchy, slow and easily distracted. Unless I’m addressing an urgent matter, I’m much better off if I save it for the next day.

Comments:
