September 1, 2010September 20, 2010 Doug Groves artist, Fan Expo 2010, interview, Lar deSouza, Least I Could Do, Looking For Group, Show, webcomic3 Comments

Lar deSouza, the rather prolific artist of Least I Could Do and Looking For Group, let us sit down with him ‘in booth’ during Fan Expo this year. Despite almost constantly drawing and signing, something I gather he does all the time no matter where he is, he found the time to talk about the different approaches he takes for each of the webcomics he works on, and the value of trying to copy another artist’s style, not for the end result, but to figure out their process.
