How long have you been making comics?

[Griffian]

I started learning to draw the beginning of my freshmen year, after someone told me I wasn't good at it. I started trying to draw comics a little while after, but was more focused on animation. I've been posting drawings for about four years now. My old laptop broke, and I haven't scanned really scanned any of my old drawings onto my new one yet, but I did manage to scrape up these:

2014:

2015 (I think?):

Late 2016:

Now:

Hopefully I continue to impove

Only two years. Still despite learning a lot in that time, I still have so much lack of experience in art and storytelling.

It's been a year so far. GreenSpleen - Slice of Life

If you checked my earlier pages, they're cringey (imo) and I've gotten so much better at webcomic-ing in general. Outside of that, my other artworks across the web are pretty fire

Shiet... like.... 12 years?
My comic Chaotic Nation has already been going on over 10 years now.

Man the art has improved, I'll tell you that much.

I've been drawing comics since I was a kid. Though, back then my comics were all about cats doing cat stuff.

I started writing and drawing more story based comics when I was a teenager. I didn't post the first stories online and they only existed in paper form. However there was an incident involving cat and pee, so now they're only a distant memory. Which is good, I think. Just thinking about them makes me gringe.

My first online comic I started around 2006. I only got into chapter 2 when I stopped drawing it. After that I started several projects that didn't get beyond 10 pages, so I was very hesitant about starting my current project in fear that I would drop it, too. But it seems I've finally gained enough self-control to stick with one project longer than a short while. Yay!

Anyway, here's some pages from 2007 and 2006. (Different projects.)

Aaand, here's something more recent:

There's a lot more color to the second one now haha.

[OgonoArtFamily]

Love seeing the evolution throughout your drawings. Especially the last image

[OgonoArtFamily]

Haha, I'm so proud to see the evolution

[OgonoArtFamily]

Great evolution in art!

[OgonoArtFamily]

Yeah, the newspaper comic strip counts! haha. ANyway, love the improvement!

[ghostmaya]

That was really a neat improvement~! Good job~!

[eleviken]

When I was a little kid, I'd draw my comics with pencil in lined notebooks! As to the webcomic scene, I've been doing my comic Chasing Little Lights for a year, including planning.

[Chopythes]

Thank you!

I love watching this thread and see everybody else's improvements<3

I've been writing for about three years now, but I don't feel all three years counts. When I first started writing, I did fanfiction for about two years (2014 - mid 2016) to improve my skills. Back then, my writing was awful, just downright terrible!

It's only within the last year that I've improved, but I still have a long way to go.

[OgonoArtFamily]

haha, happy to hear about your writing improvement! Both writing and drawing go hand to hand with comics

[OgonoArtFamily]

Loving your art Zyephen!

[Zyephen]

<3 Thank you very much ^_^

I started making small gag strips about four years ago, and then started my long form comic The Changeling's Sister two years ago (I'm actually holding a Q&A to celebrate the anniversary atm...).

It's been a fun ride, I've learned a lot!

2nd page back in July 2015

And the newest page uploaded last week

[OgonoArtFamily]

Lovin the art, Yondoloki!

[Zeedom]

I came up with my first story in 2005, in the middle of an exam,I still have the question paper I made my first designs on (don't worry I was never going to pass cooking anyway-I blew up a pot of water,the stove wasn't even plugged in!) I made nearly five chapters in pencil that I now occasionally use for reference.the following year I got into an accident which later lead to surgery and thus to having to learn to hold a pencil again so after years of that I finally started digitally in 2009 and had eventually made 2 chapters and a guide character sheet version coupled with another short panel series in a volume of Zeedom which I sold online but after difficulties with the store I decided to take it down and upload it instead
Now I have 29 project on tapas and many more stories I want to work on
