Mine went backwards [:sweat_02:] Back when I was 13-14, my previous OCs were around their late 20s. They were a part of a story idea I had, but I decided to put it in the backburner. Now with the current story I'm writing for, I'm mainly stuck with characters in their high school years and decided t…
I'm currently going through my first webtoon experience [:sweat_02:]. I don't have any social media audience so I'm pretty new myself. When I posted the first three episodes on February, I got around 20 subs in the first week. When I posted weekly from there I got around 10 subs tops with each updat…
Take a walk outside to refresh your mind (if possible) or do another hobby. Whenever I tried to force myself to complete another chapter I just end up staring blankly at my texts doing nothing [:sweat_02:]. Now I know it just means I'm no longer in the mood to come up with anything. So it's really b…
I'm not exactly an expert with these two genres so take my response with a grain of salt 
To me since since it states "but love, abuse, bad decisions and high school sometimes get in the way." this does give me some drama vibes.
When I think pure romance, I usually think about the sweet, wholeso…
I'm currently trying to finish up writing another comic I plan on releasing after I'm done writing all the the three acts/seasons for it. I'm particularity proud with the amount of effort I've put in this fictional world, the magic/power system and the unique cast of characters. Looking back I didn'…
For me as a reader, it depends on what I sub to. Sometimes I sub because of the art so I can use it as another source of inspiration for my own art That means I'm less likely to interact with it.
Other times, it's one of those moments where I maybe want to read it later, but it's not high enough …
The episode where this panel is in hasn't come out yet, but I'm just glad I found a brush that made drawing smoke a lot easier. [image]

I definitely, did not make a Beach Episode joke 
Probably one of those gag-a-day webcomics, don't remember which one I read first. But the first webcomic I got super invested on and still follow to this day is Lackadaisy and it's about to get an animated short! [:hype_01:]
"Short story parodies of your typical romance tropes."
Aaaand, that's pretty much it
If you feel super confident with the prep material you have now, It's about time you started working on it! [:hype_01:] But, for one like myself. I'm currently trying to build an audience with my first comic that I'm currently posting. I'm also using the first comic as my practice-comic because le…
I started posting February so pretty recent and the first week I gained about 20-25 ish subs. Not surprised because I haven't really done any social media promotion anyway and I don't have an established audience anywhere else. Now this month I'm at 235 so yay

For some reason I thought about insta-love. For me that's like eh, are you willing to sacrifice your time and dedication for this guy or die for this random stranger you just met? Insta-attraction makes more sense, be it being attracted by their looks, their compassion, their sense of humor or just …
I think the anatomy could use some work, the best way to practice it is to either break it down to simpler 3d shapes or study anatomy photos or drawings. I believe you're working traditionally with pen'n ink? Try to practice the ideal use of line weight. I can notice that you have some sense of p…
Oh, I'll bring something new to the table, that hasn't been mentioned a ton already... It's time consuming [:cry_02:] Like for real, I wish I could spend more time drawing for my comic, but school, life, everything!
I don't really feel anything about tropes in general, they're a tool for creating fiction after all . But if you were asking about how I feel about certain, tired and... (cough) overused ones. That's a different story. The current comic I have, literally tackles some of typical romance tropes that I…
Start EARLY with a not so-serious comic (AKA a comic that doesn't really have a overarching plot), like the one I'm kinda doing now, BUT EARLIER so that way you have a LARGER audience in comparison to starting late with no audience at all.
I was just about to ask what they changed as I'm pretty new on the platform before realizing the uncanny similarity it suddenly had with webtoons. Like just why would you want to look like your competitor??? It had more creator friendly customization, now it's just gone?
I agree with darthmongoose about the backgrounds. From me, the anatomy on the characters still needs more polish. Like I can notice that you often tend to avoid drawing hands and its understandable, I've been there before, but you won't be able to draw them ever if you don't try to draw them more …
Oh that's cool, I also use a laptop stand for my tablet. Unfortunately, I can't adjust the angle of mine, but it's comfortable enough to draw on rather than just having it lie flat on the table.
Drawing has been my passion since I was little kid drawing random noodle doodles. Seeing constant improvement is just so satisfying and I get a good laugh at how bad my art looked like before, in comparison to my current artstyle and skill. [:smug_01:]
