When to label pages NSFW for profane language

Questions

(´・ω・)ﾉ Hello!! I have a question that I've been thinking about for a while (and couldn't find any similar topics so I apologize if this has been addressed) I've been wondering when to cap the NSFW mark on pages in regards to swearing/profane language? Is it ok to leave it be if it's one F-bomb? 5 …

How can I make the first chapter of my comic's pacing better?

Promotions

That's good that you're doing that ^^!! It's the best way to figure out pacing. Also I just read your first chapter and I think the pacing is absolutely fine!! It's good to start out a little slow in the first chapter to introduce the world + characters to the reader. It helps people understand the …

How can I make the first chapter of my comic's pacing better?

Do you do any storyboards or scripting beforehand or do you jump straight into it? (btw I haven't fully read it yet because my internet's being terrible right now xD; some pages are still loading )

Are their limits to what you could and/or would draw?

Questions

hmm for things I would not want to draw, it would be more based on the subject matter to me. For complicated stuff, I actually try putting that in my comic a lot so I can be forced out of my comfort zone. (for instance, car interiors.. I really hate them, so I made myself draw them a lot) but if lif…

Does anyone know of a good resource for facial expressions? (Other than Google Images)

Questions

Cartoons in general are just exaggerated forms of real life. Think about squash and stretch [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] Also, don't be afraid to look silly when making expressions xDD!! (Also it would be a good idea to put a lot of focus on the eyes, and the mouth, regardless of i…

Has anyone on here suffered from Depression or Anxiety?

Questions

Yep! My comic is going to dive into those subjects soon actually. I have really severe depression and social anxiety (though my social anxiety is getting a bit better, now that I'm no longer suffering selective mutism ) It has been long term for me, untreated. I can't get the right help here, even o…

Is there a point in a comic where a reworking would be okay?

Questions

It really depends honestly. If you keep redoing things until you're satisfied, your story won't go anywhere because you're nipping the bud way too much, but if you're like 4 chapters in, on a hiatus and you want to do rework some old pages, I don't see why not? I feel like when most people start off…

How do you define success for your comic?

Questions

trivial success: If someone cosplayed my characters or draw fanart < v >;; I'll probably cry from being too happy. success in general: I guess I define it by how good my art and story telling is. I try really hard to make my pages visually appealing and also a story for people to relate to. I real…

Is school theme overdone?

Questions

I'm sort of the same with being ok with school setting and preferring college/uni settings, though it might have to do with me actually attending college right now so it's easier for me to relate to it. Though yeah, school has always been a big part of life. I guess the most cliche thing is the whol…

Does anyone know of a good resource for facial expressions? (Other than Google Images)

Questions

Facial expressions is one of my most favourite things to draw (maybe THE most xD)! This is probably gonna be weird, but I honestly think the best resource is your own face. Not kidding. Just get a mirror with a stand, put it beside you, and try to feel what your character is feeling in that scene. T…

Needing help with a thing

Art | Comics

I don't really have any scenario ideas but I can give some advice!! To make your characters "come to life" it's good to base them on people you know, be it family, friends, acquaintances etc. Imo personalities are pretty complex, just like anatomy. It doesn't have to be fully based on 1 person, you …
