Tim Probert What If You Just Made What You Wanted?
Tim Probert is the acclaimed author and illustrator of Lightfall, the graphic novel series that has captured the imaginations of readers around the world.
In this episode of Secret Creative Life, Tim talks about his journey from a young artist dreaming of a creative career to becoming a professional illustrator and graphic novelist.
We explore how Lightfall began as an idea for an animated series before finding its home as a graphic novel, and how Tim built a career he once thought was impossible.
Tim shares his thoughts on developing a personal drawing style, navigating creative expectations and learning to trust his own instincts rather than making what he thinks other people want to see.
We also discuss the challenges of working on a long-form creative project, the relationship between personal passion and professional success, and what keeps him inspired.
It's a conversation about finding your creative voice and having the courage to make the work you truly want to make.
