i've been drawing since i was 3 but picked up making comics, or things good enough to be considered comics about 5 years. learned a lot and now i focus more on the art of storytelling, because a comic with great art and a bad story is still a bad story.

I read comics since I was able. My earliest comic was one in which I tried to persuade myself that the flu-shot was actually amazingly awesome and I should not be afraid of it. That didn't work! Probably because the flu virus was so cute with its pod feet.

I did other random comics throughout grade school, usually on birthday cards. Once made a choose-your-own adventure comic. My brother was the only reader and voter!

I picked up writing in middle school. I entered competitions and stuff throughout high school with short comics. Never got anywhere with them, but still did it! Then … THEN I found out about webcomics. The wonderful world of webcomics. I realised that these stories exist online, mine could too -- a friend badgered me for nearly a year before I got the confidence up to post my first comic. That was in December of 2003. I have been doing webcomics since (on and off at times!).

That old site is glitchy so I won't share it. Maybe some day! Started my current comic up in September of 2011, and it's recently moved here to tapastic.

I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil, but I didn't get into comics, either reading or drawing, until I was about 14/15 and discovered manga, and I wouldn't say I was drawing them seriously until 18 or so. I'm now 25 and it's a big part of my life, with my current webcomic about to hit its second birthday.

Well, I've technically done a comic here and there ever since I was 5-6 years old, but didn't seriously start working on a comic series before early 2013.

I remember you comic SeeKers from InkBlazers. (I am the guy who did Osana: The Land of Greed). To the topica at hand, I started drawing comic when I was 16. I made a comic called "Darkness Within"it was about a guy had a demon inside him and he had to learn to control it. <---------How generic can a title get. That story had so many plot holes it wasn't even funny. As I continued my journey as an artist my skills kept on improving; I also transitioned to a traditional comic artist to a digital comic artist in 2010. I was self published under Lulu Press Inc. but, that didn't yield me the results I desired. The lesson I learned from that was to get self published where you at least have a reputation or form a reputation if you don't have one.

Today, I am working on a comic entitled Seishin Pātonā <-----"Spirit Partner" in Japanese. If you are interested in it you can check it out here: http://tapastic.com/episode/98431

I've been drawing on a regular basis about 10-15 years... and I'm still utter rubbish.

[gioseppe]

I did something like manga 6 years ago... but stopped after a year... since I couldn't finish one...

My first webcomics was called BLANK COMICS which was about 3 years ago, but I ended that since it was too difficult for me...

Now my current comics on tapastic ( http://tapastic.com/series/Bad-Puns )
is something I still consider my first since It isn't like the previous I've made and I didn't end it midway...

[MylCreates]

I've been drawing comics for about 10-ish years (since I started middleschool), though I've made illustrated stories since about 15 years ago. Though I did not start putting comics online till last year when I had enough courage to defy my parent since, you know, the internet is a dangerous evil place with evil people and all that.

[henrikkublick]

I have always been drawing.
when I was about 11-12 years old, I made my first longer comic. over 50 pages long!

But I heard once that it doesn't matter when you begin,
as long as you never stop!

Here is what I work on now:
The Tower Expedition

Continuing the discussion from How long have you been drawing comics?:

I've been reading comics since I was old enough to read, but for some reason it didn't really click with me that I could draw comics if I wanted until much, much later. But since I first attempted a comic, it's been about ten years.

^This! My dad exposed me to comics as a kid then when I got older I started reading Manga. Then I saw one of my friends sketching comics then it hit me what I could create comics?! Inspired, I believe I was 13 when I started my first comic series. But lemme tell you, the plot was really cliche and the art was atrocious. But, I suppose we all start from somewhere right? :') 3 more followed suit and their stories got a little bit more improved, but none of them were any I was interested in continuing. So they were scrapped.

When I was 18, I began my first comic series that I was serious about publishing and getting out there. I'm still updating pages on it today :'D It's been about 11 years now since I started from that lame comic from middle school. if I ever find the pages, maybe I'll upload them on my deviantart or something so people can laugh with me at how disgraceful it was :') lmao!!

[Foxjorch]

Since four years old

[kazukitakamura126]

I actually started doing comics in my freshman year of high school with a Super Mario fan comic. Then my first serious attempt at a comic was entitled "Darkness Within". That was in 2006.So I have been drawing comics for 9 years , getting better as I go along. My current comic is entitled Seishin Patona.

[hierogriff]

Discovered Johnny Wander, and it inspired me to start drawing December 2011. My first comic was Cinderelic, an Adventure Time fan comic, finished almost exactly a year ago, and I've been making comics ever since!

[allenthomas]

I think I have been drawing comics since I was about 5. They were mostly fan-comics based on videogames until I was about 13 and started making original stories. However, I just started my first webcomic Shadosassins this year. I'm 25 by the way. (Not really sure why that last part was important)
