How old were you when you started your webcomic?

i started my first comic when i was 11, and my most recent project when i was 16 C:

I was 16, and had my first go at a webcomic as part of a project in school.

Lo, it was terrible and I shall not speak its name, and it's best forgotten by the world, but I learned a lot while doing it, and felt a lot more confident going on to my next comic after I'd given up on that first attempt. I've pretty much been drawing comics constantly ever since, but most of them have been fanzines/self-published for cons. Grassblades is my first big ongoing webcomic since I was 16.

But yes, I've been drawing comics regularly for 12 years.

ETA: This just goes to show I shouldn't reply to stuff before I've had my morning tea. >.< You were asking specifically about my current comic! I've been planning Grassblades on and off for 6-7 years, but I've been drawing/posting since late 2014/early 2015.

Let's see, I created the first page of Demon House February of 2015, so I was 24.

Um...which one? XD The ones I'm proud of or the ones I did first? I mean I've only got one on Tapastic, but I've got at least 5 on deviantart.

Genuinely starting to worry Im the oldest starter here. Aside from a few goes at making comics when I was in my early teens (traditionally) I started making webcomics when I was 28, finished that one and moved onto another one which Im currently on. That was two years ago though so not very long comparatively.
Funnily enough the comic I tried to draw when I was in my teens had some of the same characters Ive managed to use now, but in a different story context. 18 years or something is a long time to have some characters hovering over you!

I started planning Soul Ascendance when I was 15 although it was a completely different story back then.

When I was 21 I officially started making pages but then I went on a long hiatus and rebooted it at age 22 around late January. I'm now 23 (Birthday was June 12) and currently halfway through chapter 2.

I was 3 months younger when i first started my webcomic...lol.

If you count the dumb fan-comic I did on DeviantArt, then 16.

For my first real webcomic...like not giving up after 4 pages, I was 21.

Though for my current comic, 24. Tho it is based off something I wrote when I was 14 or 15.

I am currently 25.

I've been panning it out in my head for five years. I'm only recently putting pen to paper and am planning to start uploading within a month

I started making comics when I was 6 years old. I officially started Cosmic Funnies on deviant art in 2010. I was 24 years old.

I recently started posting Cosmic Funnies on Tapastic during march at the age of 30.

I started making 20 Galaxies into a comic in 1996 -- so I was 13 or 14 at the time. As I recall the internet was just starting to get into the public awareness then, so 20G didn't go online til 2002.

I still have the 1996 comics though.

Potoh 2016-08-19 06:28:24 UTC #37

The idea for Amaranth developped when I was 13 and the characters and story have evolved a lot over the years. Started it last june at age 26.

jordanthelass 2016-08-21 17:43:41 UTC #38

I started making webcomics when I was around .. 17 or 18, I think?

But I didn't start Whose World until last year. I'm 28 now.

... How I've wasted my life by not making Whose World sooner. ;w; I'm so old!

amirakdelat 2016-08-21 20:39:22 UTC #39

10 years old... When I started, I couldn't stop drawing. And I remember some of the first characters I've created. One of them was a blonde little girl who kept trolling her parents, teachers and friends.

Tanimation 2016-08-21 21:07:08 UTC #40

20, which is this year. Though, I've been working out the plots since I was 16.

Juicebox 2016-08-22 23:28:22 UTC #41

Compared to others on here, probably too young hehe. I started planning out the story when I was 15, which was a year ago. I only just now got around to writing it.

oooh man I've been making attempts at webcomics ever since middle school (gonna include some pages because I love looking at my improvement and I kinda have a lot to say about thsi)

My first attempt is probably Warrior Of Dreams, a kingdom hearts plot ripoff with NiGHTS Into Dreams characters/fancharacters and a blatant self insert slapped onto it. It went for about 12?? pages before I discontinued it. I was 11 or 12 when I started on it and it's super How To Draw Anime Art Book esque and had like zero effort put into it. also I'd switch between color/b&w and traditional/digital/markers/pencils constantly and sometimes I'd do some unholy mix of all of them and you'd get a mess of copic and colored pencils with gimp's smudge tool all over the place. most of the digital files have been destroyed but here's a page I found in my cabinet from it.

Second attempt at a webcomic is Coulrophobia, in the height of my mario rpg phase (is it really a phase if youre still kinda into it?) when I was 14/15 I wanted to make a fancomic of my headcanon on what happened after the villains died. It was a crossover of the Mario & Luigi RPGs and the Paper Mario series. It went for 13 pages and somewhat of an outline but no script and no update schedule before it died. Early last year around february when I was 16 I rebooted it and it was honestly much better but now I was working only off the top of my head, no new outline and maybe if I remembered I'd write down some of the dialogue on pages but that only happened about three or four times. Made it to 14 pages and a short RPGmaker game to speed up a few scenes and to make it more interactive before calling it quits again. I 'm still real proud of some of the reboot pages (kinda hard to see with that luminosity filter abuse though aint it young me). I was 17 when I discontinued it. here's the original vs the reboot. You can read what little there is of it on the ComicFury site for it.

I started SPIRE here at 17 a few months ago!! I'm working on the 39th page right now which is the furthest I've made it into any personal project and I'm really happy with myself. I'm 18 right now and it finally has a working outline, full chapter script, and an update schedule I can keep up with and I'm having a lot of fun working on it.

I did a post on twitter that contains my 12 year history doing webcomics! I had a bunch of failed projects and then eventually started my current comic "Until the Last Dog Dies" in 2010. I am currently on the fourth (and final) remake of the comic.

Check it out if you are curious to see the journey!

I tried to make comics 5 years ago, when I was 37. Stopped because I din't like my own drawing, and decided to wait until I can daw somethign acceptable. Maybe next year I get back to them. But I wrote books, started to do it 15 years ago.

whirlwyndstorm 2016-08-25 18:16:18 UTC #45

I always gotta do a double take when someone mentions NiGHTS Into Dreams!
