Which part of comic creation you enjoy the most?

Coloring/Final rendering is by far my favorite part!

Idea generation is fun but not substantial,

research is interestnig but feels like work to me,

the sketching/drafting is also fun but I'm slow at it so I have a lesser opinion of it,

line art is my least favorite part but a necessary evil (I don't want to do lineless),

and editing is... also kinda work-feeling lol

Planning the fights and hype scenes

Honestly, all of the parts of comic creating you just mentioned I enjoy thoroughly. I love seeing the process from start to finish because it means that I'm making progress with my work instead of leaving them, as Hollywood would put it "Development Hell" .

Coming up with the stories and creating characters. I've always loved making stories, but I never enjoyed spending too much time writing out the chapters. I love that I can come up with stories and not have to write every single word out. Designing things is just fun.

Drafting and adding the effects of lights, illumination at night, etc.

I'd say blueprint, line art and final rendering~
Least fav is colouring and flats lmao

When I put all the panels back into one big strip (I do each panel separately, as it's a scroll format one) and I get to see it all polished and nice for the first time.

Planning for the big scenes with major story or emotional payoff is probably the most enjoyable...even if it will often be a long time before I'll actually get the chance to draw them. Filling in all the gaps between is a lot more work though lol.

I also kinda enjoy the inking stage - when I first started I absolutely hated it, but at this point I actually find it pretty relaxing to just put on some background noise and zone out a bit inking.

Maintaining an update schedule has forced me to work on art non-stop, resulting in rapid improvement of skills. So uh.... none of the above??

On the flip side of this, there's the fact that I have a 6-7 episode buffer, so what's publishing now is 6-7 weeks behind my current art, and I constantly have to fight the urge to go back and fix it.

conceptualizing and planning is by far my favorite part however actually drawing all of it is also fun but can get tiring. Just in the drawing process alone I love doing sketching and colors but lineart will forever be my mortal enemy and backgrounds are like titans standing in my way (though i am getting better). Meanwhile on the writing half doing all the research, planning, plotting and scripting for comics is like heaven. Something about seeing all the story info in front of you and looking into new things for it and building characters and worlds from the ground up is just...really nice

I think setting up major events and the dominoes that lead to them is one of my favorite parts of writing. The final pass on a page is one of my favorite parts of the art; when it all comes together and I finally get to see with my eyes what my brain has been looking at for so long, and I get to share a slice of my imagination with people. Super satisfying!

The painting part, I can go loose there haha.

Everything~! From the moment I create comics, I already enjoy~ <3

Shanny8 2021-01-26 20:58:22 UTC #45

Definitely have to say inking. That's where I put a lot of my energy into and the page finally begins to take shape to what I imagined it to be.

MeltingCORE 2021-01-26 21:28:20 UTC #46

I love doing page layouts! I feel like I've got a decent eye for it from obsessively reading comics and manga growing up lol.

Character design has always been my favorite part of any project. Helps that I'd like to make that my specialty, but figuring out who a character is supposed to be, how to make them stand out and memorable, rounding out with where their story goes is easily the best part of the entire creation process.
Researching is a closely related second, being more about the entire story/world-building rather than being able to hyper-focus on a specific character. Finally, editing would be my 3rd favorite since at that stage, I know the long process is almost over.

As for my most hated: Coloring. I don't think to well in color and it's easily my weakest skillset and, for me, takes the absolute longest (about 2-3 times longer than any other). It's why I try to only use 1 or 2 colors beyond black and white.

I love ideating the episode and writing the dialogue. While I do love drawing and the art component, it can get a bit tedious and frustrating sometimes.

Storyboarding. Love it. Love the zero stress I put on myself for the sketches I know nobody will see, love critiquing my pacing, panel placement. I often get a laugh from the ridiculous faces I come across in my storyboards and sketches.
