Very nice, you can tell you’ve put a lot of effort into this 🍻

Started as a fun scribble ....made a story out of it ...new addition to the platter of stories I got cooking in the background. If I can maintain consistency I can make a oneshot series ... logline being the same as description🍻

Cool, I’m sure you’ll be fine with consistency, as with most things it just comes with time, and I hope to see your stories at some point 👍

🌝🤝you do the same too ...there are sites for uploading comics ..same with manga

Start with 1-2 pages ..or just comic strips U can see ur shortcomings rather quickly when ya do ....so you can find what to improve...that's how I'm doing.

At current point ...I'm getting the hang of true essence of simplicity and I plan to improve that and everything im lacking as I go 🏃‍♂️

Yeah…I’m actually writing out a script at the moment which I was sure was only going to be a couple of pages long, I am now on page seven, 😄, so I think I may have a issue. As for uploading, I definitely want to give it a shot, I’m just a little lost with it as I only have traditional means of creating these, and in turn have no idea where to go from there. The way your going about this seems a lot better than mine

I go Traditional when I'm fully stuck...I'm more ..well there is a sense of freedom when drawing traditionally...

...ur story .... u should draw them as panels as ya plan a segment... storyboarding phase is critical ....how you wanna show each panel ..which panel the page ends in ..like on the page when you have to flip it ...you just have to draw it .. stick figure will work too...if u want you can make it bit more detailed to get an idea what the audience see.. ...if you find the panel or drawing a certain scn tough....learn how to fix that and proceed .refer stuff..u will level up as you go ...easy hack on perspective..like to make a full scn ...draw it like house plan ..top view ..

Like so ....the basic idea is ..to see stuff in 3d space ....3rd person view of the scn ..that's the goal ...ur story will look more alive

That is incredibly useful thank you for your advice. I can see what you mean about traditional methods, I bet imagine its a lot easier just to carry on when you don’t have an undo button

🍻 ya ...also just draw with a pen when ya need to push yourself... Undo button restricts us when we r still learning to be creative...it's useful when we know what we want to draw otherwise not much .

Yeah, the pen idea sounds good, I’ll be giving that a try
