What is your weakness?

[Chita]

Hmmm, I think my biggest weakness are backgrounds, perspective and making dynamic poses. Backgrounds and perspective is mainly cause I'm reaaaaaaaally lazy so I never think about all the planning and rules that I should follow (though I really should). And about dynamic poses... I don't know but I feel that some of the action poses are too lifeless, thankfully I'm practicing them quite a lot on the chapter I'm working on.
Oh! And writing character dialogue. They always feel so bland and I don't know why :'D

Welcome to the community!

My top weakness as an artist are those FREAKIN' BACKGROUNDS!!!!! I usually draw pretty fast, but with backgrounds, it takes me forever. I just suck with perspective. Which results in not overly complicated backgrounds. Oh! I also suck at hands.

As a writer, I'd say it would be the fact that I write WAY TOO MUCH!!!! My chapters need to be severely edited each time, because they all end up too long and I can't have a 50 page comic book, because I print. My spelling could use some work too, but overall, my person who does my proofing doesn't have that many corrections on my latest chapters.

tbh leaving things for interpretation to the readers, incorporating characters who actually feel stuff, background, perspective, anatomy and actually sticking to a schedule. so everything basically

I so relate to what you say.
Overtime I find perfectionism to be such a flaw. Hardworking is great, but being so judgmental of our own work... I'm not sure it's useful sometimes.
Even when you're commited there's the Reboot syndrom @___@
Short stories are the best cure for that. Wished I would have realised that before (so many lost time - well, not lost exactly since practicing is improving, but unfinished projects let a sour taste of failure, where finished stories, even short and imperfect, are each a stone to our art road)

@sc101 : That's just hilarious ! Cheers, we can't let you be so hard on yourself ! xD

I'm inconsistent, lazy at research, too experimental.

But I can create killer backgrounds unlike @Kelheor.

[Eskhar]

@JRHoch You're like the healer everyone wants in a party because they're so rare xD

[JRHoch]

I also have a weakness for flattery!

[irene_addler]

My weakness is I really struggle with endings. I've got an ending for exactly one story I've ever written...And then my art is a huge weakness too, which is pretty bad, considering I'm drawing a comic

[Kelheor]

Cannot hear you over the sound of how awesome I am

[Zak]

Cover art, or covers in general. I'm so used to drawing small and tiny boxes that if I need to draw something big I can't get it up to a standard.

That and my own general laziness.

[NickRowler]

Let's see...

-I'm dyslexic. I have a very hard time with the rules of grammar even tho I try my hardest.
-I don't have the patience to draw backgrounds with complex perspective so I usually just wing it.
-I am sort of obsessed with characters and I tend keep adding more and more. I've been trying to dial it back.

From a personal stand point
-I'm super shy and it's hard for me to ask people IRL to look at my work. I tend to feel embarrassed even tho my stuff is not really that offensive. I guess I am just worried that someone would nitpick it and use that as means to unfriend me. I find showing my stuff to strangers much easier.

As a author, there's just too much I want to tell. It makes my sentences hella long haha.

[kagety]

finished stories, even short and imperfect, are each a stone to our art road

this!!! I did a one-shot way back when. It looks terrible but I love it because I finished it and the times it represents. Thinking about it now, I can't wait to create again

[faisalhussein394]

Welcome, hope everything with you in this community.

My weakness is clear to me, even though some would find my background is great, my thoughts is always "I could've done better".
Those are my thoughts every time I make a background.

And what is frustrating is how coloring each panel takes long when you're being careful, especially the big ones.

Despite all this, I'm getting the hang of it and someday, approach some more improvement for my content.

Backgrounds. Undeniably backgrounds (especially interiors). Even more so, I bite off more than I can chew. It also doesn't help that I get burnout really easily. I try to push through it by drawing a few more hours, then I start to hate my own hobby!

[AdamBraveOfficial]

Where to start...

Backgrounds. A drag and a real pain in the ass. I suck hard with that. But, as a consumer, I love to see a nice background. It gives context and creates atmosphere. I consider it to be really important for the story, so I force myself to not put just a god damn white background as bad as I may be.

Writting. Ignoring the spelling errors that escape me in some publications, I always feel that my dialogues are little more than basic. I can only hope that I am being too critical of myself here.

Perspective. No need to develop this.

Time. Just not enough.

Glad that you’re trying to be more active on Tapas!

It’s nice to meet you too!

I’ve done both writing and arting, and I definitely recognise some major flaws as an author. Mainly, I have a horrible habit of not introducing the main characters when they first appear and then only mentioning their names like...3 chapters in.

As an artist, I’m not detail-oriented so things might look weird and rough sometimes. Also the fact that I draw my characters really inconsistently and I can forget little details of their design (hair bits, accessories, etc.)

[Psychobott]

You actually have a cute and clean artwork on Regro: Mystery of Craytor. So hey, keep it up!

[Psychobott]

i have a feeling mine talks monotone-ish.

[Psychobott]

I have one friend who is also into BL, though she doesn't write or draw. But that's it. She's the only one. Seven billion people in the world and I got the people who are obsessed into Fifty Shades of Grey wtf
