I do, all the time. certain little details, like parts of people's clothing or background things. I never notice until after I've posted of course lol

so do you ever forget to draw things in your comic? do you go back and fix it, or leave it and hope no one notices?

All the frigging time. I should make a game of it for my readers. Seriously.

Oh yessss...So much that I've built up a sizeable to do list of things I need to get around to fixing within the various pages of my comic that need fixing. Foretunately its mostly small little things like a bit of line art that goes outside the line or a bit of tone that also goes outside the line.

Only all the time!
This last chapter for one of my comics has been riddled with missing items. Between scars, bandages, bloodstains and necklaces, it's been pretty bad. I try to catch them before the page officially goes up but mistakes happen. I pick up some later but others just vanish for the remainder of the scene.

Oh ya, all the time. I always forget the same things too, it's so bad I have a sticky note with a list of commonly forgot details on my desk. And I also never notice missed details until I post my pages, I will go back and fix/re-upload a page once/if I notice the mistake. Thought there is a few things I never bothered to fix out of laziness. 😅

Most of the time, I would repost a page because of the text not centered in speech bubbles.

But when my characters are holding guns or have bandages I often draw it on the wrong side.

Hopefully I can catch that before it's too late!

All the time. My most common mistake is drawing something and forgetting to shade it, but I omit things altogether often as well. I generally try to fix it because it bothers me to leave it as it is.

Yes, I was obsessing over this for awhile, to be honest. I will probably need to go back and fix earlier pages depending on how important I feel like the missing details are.

It's relieving to hear other people do this too! D':

It's uber frustrating when it's something important, too. I've forgotten to place items in certain areas so when I go back to have the characters move them, AND THEY AREN'T THERE, it's just... aa, the work around would be even more time-consuming than just going back to draw and paint a backpack or a pen or a mobile on a desk. x

Yep. I've forgotten smaller details - like tattoos, and patterns on people's clothing, and minor background details - and also really big and important stuff.

Like how I occasionally draw Masahiro picking stuff up with his left hand.

Masahiro doesn't have a left hand. ^_^;

Yepp, a lot of times. It mostly happens when I try to rush a page because I want to get it done quick. Like backgroundstuff, whole parts of clothing, jewelery, sometimes even eyebrows. Eventually I have to put more time into it to fix things... But I'll never learn.

Definitely ! yet, I don't know if i'll ever have the time to fix them!

Lol agreed!

I often nearly forget drawing my own glasses... XD
Gladly so far I always added them in time. At least I hope so.

uhg constantly! I need to make a check-list. At first you think 'there's no way I'd forget these details about how my character' but then when youre thinking about so many details, you begin to overlook really defining details and feeling like an absolute turnip for doing it :/

I'm really glad so many other people do it too, I was worried I was just bad at life!

Yes, all the time! I find consolation in that professional artists have this happen to them now and again as well. ^_^

on my current scene my main character's meant to be wearing a satchel and every other panel it disappears OTL

Usually when I make a mistake in my comic and I miss a detail, I actually wait till later to fix it, or I do it on the spot when someone points it out.

Even when you're one of those people that like to double check everything, sometimes it just misses the eye and OOPS YA FRIGGED UP.

I constantly do that and to be honest I think it's just, for some of us, we have so much fun drawing our stuff we tend to miss little details due to our excitement.

At least, thats what it feels like to me |D;;

My comic is called rainy day and it's always raining in the comic and I forget to draw the rain Every Single Time

ughhh so much. especially when its a fairly repetitive thing - like, youre drawing a character for the fifth time in that outfit? so you forget all sorts of details. its so annoying

typically i go back and fix it, but once its posted then thats that, unless its Major. id change it for print versions after that, but thats it
