How to Draw the Tick

The Tick skillfully sidesteps teaching anatomy and construction

This ol' comic book mascot is my new favorite variant of the old "How to Draw an Owl" meme.

While I understand the actual frustration that this and similar jokes jab at (there are plenty of examples of poor instruction out there), there does come a point where a teacher, book, tutorial, has to let go of the student's hand. You just have to... draw the Tick.
