Hey, Vsauce!...erm, dear Tapas forum.
A little less than 2 years ago I unwillingly crawled to this forum to write that I have no idea why no one is reading my comic, which I put everything I had in.
My first question here literally was "am I doing something wrong"? I bet many people will relate.
It was not easy to start drawing a comic. I started drawing backgrounds for every panel of it from the beginning, and never before that moment I drew a background. Everything was in color and boy did it took so much time and I had no idea what I am doing, colors were never my strong point.
I made the first chapter (4 pages) and then it took me almost a year to start the second chapter... But even after 3 more chapters almost no one was reading it.
So I came here in incredibly low spirits, going to throw in the towel. And met a lot of wonderful people who gave me a ton of advices and later became my friends and supporters.
Thanks to them, me and my husband continued the comic and we even made 3 short stories. I am still horribly slow by the standards of other comic creators, I had bad times, I am whiney and I give up easily, but I did my best.
Today is the day I saw my short comic ad on that big banner on Webtoons' front page. It's... wow.
Of course, it doesn't mean I will be the next hot shot, but it's still there and it means a lot.
I am writing this because I want to thank everyone here who helped me get there, who taught me things and supported my whiney ass.
What I want to say is... It's okay to fail and feel bad about what you create. We all do that.
But it's your story, and if you won't tell it, no one else will. You're doing great and I believe you're doing your best.
If you don't believe in yourself right now, believe in me, who believes in you!
... and don't be afraid to ask for advice or help. None of us was born with the knowledge we have now.
Sorry for the long post and thanks for reading
