Sharing the Original Comic

[hakeemstevens84]

Hey, guys, so I know there are rookie comic artist and writers out there likewise I'm the same in terms of not posting my work in recent years. So I'm going to try something to inspire you guys and challenge myself. That something is posting my first ever comic I made in 2013 showing you guys the many mistakes I've made and the things I learned as well as the challenge being for me to revamp the series using some of the similar concepts of the original and show how my art and writing skills have evolved over the years. The basic point is that "no matter what you want to do or, what you want to be it won't matter if you don't try." I hope you guys enjoy and if you have more inspirational words or just want to chat post them below.

Hi there!
You've already mentioned the most important thing:

The basic point is that "no matter what you want to do or, what you want to be it won't matter if you don't try."

The challenge here is to stand up to your mistakes, because hey everybody makes them. That's it. There aren't any perfect artists out there. Some of them are hella good, yeah, but nobody's perfect.
As long as you have fun drawing your work, making up a good story and keep your readers entertained, it's fine. Keep it up and try your best.

Everyone starts somewhere XD I made my first comic 7? 8? years ago and I cringe every time I look at it. But in the spirit of things, here's a page of that

Flash forward and now I'm doing stuff like this:

which is obviously a big improvement. I wouldn't get here if I didn't do that first comic, so even "bad" art is art that'll help you improve.

Nicely done bro. Speaking of I will be posting my video to show and explain some of the things in my comic along with the improved version. Do you mind if I use yours as an example to flash how people can improve over time?

Yea sure. It'll be nice if you throw a shout-out to my comic Halfsoul thou As long as you're always activity thinking about improving your skills, improvement will always happen XD
