I'm aware this is similar to the recent post, but I can't figure out how to start mine. Or draw digitally well. What do you recommend on ways to start or draw the comic? Should I do it with colored pencils/crayons/pastels/markers? Or figure out how to do it digitally? Please help
I think the first step is to figure out how you want your comic to look! Do you want it to look hand-drawn or digital? A mix of the two? Do you want to include other media, like painting or animation or photography, or something more unconventional? Do you want to make it look inspired by someone else’s style, or something no one has seen before? Once you figure out how you want it to look, then consider what you can do to achieve that look and then work towards that.
If you’re not sure about what style you’re going for, then experiment! Draw your characters in whatever mediums you’re considering. Do a couple of test panels. Get some feedback if you like, but remember that ultimately the decision is yours to make. I would recommend that whatever processes you use, you are able to replicate them fairly reliably and without too much stress. But at the same time, when you draw something enough times you develop your own methods and shortcuts and you get into a rhythm with it. You just gotta be patient and push through.
What I recommend is for you to do what you’re passionate about and most interested in, even if it means learning something new. Whatever you want to do, have faith in yourself that you’ll make it work and that, through continued practice and working hard, you’ll improve your skills and be at a place where you want to be artistically!
