I stumbled across your comic and I really like it! It's so cute, and really fun to read! Your art style is adorable as well :D May I ask how you got started on your comic? I'd love to make one of my own, but I'm not sure where to start - I find myself to scared to start one because I don't think my art skills are good enough. ^^;; Thank you! <3 (I'm gonna follow your art blog! ^^)
Hey there!! Thank you so much! That makes me so super happy to hear!
Honestly the way I got started on my comic was finally kicking my tush and just starting it... I’ve been trying to do a webcomic for the past three years and every year would be the same “This summer! I will work on it!” But, y’know, actions speak louder than words and all that haha...
uhm as far as where to start... what I did was a kind of pros and con list of what story I wanted to focus on (as there is another webcomic idea I wanted to do and will likely do once LovePon is further along) and when I decided what I wanted to devote my time to I wrote a lot of outlines outlining the basic timeline of the story. I feel one of my biggest problems was that my ideas always felt so much bigger than what I was prepared for so I developed LovePon to purposefully take place in a set time-frame with a definitive beginning, middle, and end and I will just go from there to fill in all the in-between stuff!
Then after all that is was just working on some designs, writing the script, and thumbnailing and drawing it all out. I’m still tweaking everything as I go along, but since I have a timeline of events I have an idea of where to go and don’t feel bad if I decide to change something I felt was major. Everything will fall together!!
I know other people have a lot more, uhm, tighter plans for their webcomic ahaha...
but really just draw it. If you haven’t done a lot of comics before it’s okay to start small. Just be passionate about it and get your feet wet. If you love what you do people will follow!
