So Yea Forums, whats stopping you from making a comic?

So, as i see most of the troubles are because you cant draw

just get someone else to draw it for you you knuckleheads

I have no life experience to make my characters believable and no stories to tell.
Any characters I make will just be a jumble of shit I picked up from TV tropes and random tv shows, and therefore they'll be shitty characters.
If the characters are awful nobody's gonna want to follow the story.

I can't draw for shit and I don't know anyone that is good enough to make a comic.

then go outside and experience real life you self loathing jackass

reminder lack of drawing skills is no excuse

Unironically thisI had wrotte a book , and is all because of 2 things:
I am a good lier, and i had just heard people rambling about shit they had done on they life
Writting comes whit ones experiences user,yours or the ones you hear

Me too.

For what reason?

Curiosity
I wanna see if there are more people saying they cant draw or people that ant writte

How the hell do you spread it if you Can write and draw though? I can’t stand Twitter.

there's Fan-comics, i suppose.but something with my own personal stamp on it would take up a lot of time, effort and money just to sustain for however many week/months it lasts..then..there's the fanbases it could build..oh good lord...the fanbases

I already got my webcomic,

I made it back in 2015 or 2016 in tumblr. It is just my personal nonsense comic that I will come back and fix. Sorry for shilling.

Fear of ridicule.

I got a taste of it in highschool.

That was enough for me.

I like what i see on this post

but i want to make a cerebus style cyberpunk epic, i guess i could do a daily joke webcomic but the joke writing is harder in it's own special way

Honestly that's a good reason to avoid it; you're much more self-aware than a lot of people who just repeat tired old tropes and think they're geniuses.

I make comics. It's very inefficient, but I like it.

Alex Toth isn't around to make fun of my composition.

>I cant into writing to the point where I never wrote an essay in my life and failed all of my english classes

>lack originality

I want to submit a script when 2000AD opens up submissions. Last year I couldn't manage to get one out, so I'm trying to read short (four pages) comics to help me get an idea of how to pace it. I'm going to buy the Future Shocks collections on Amazon when I've got the cash to spare, and looking for some good prose short stories too.

and not a shitty endless-runner mobile phone game either

>i cant draw shit

how is that a problem?

Mediocrity.

Working on it!

I guess my biggest obstacles were living habits. I honestly only got into a groove on this thing after I started making fitness time, watching my diet, etc.

Can't write, draw, create a plot or give a fuck about it.

heh,i see your point
But its more of a "not reaching the level i spect" shit

can never think of any idea I like enough to want to commit to. feel like all my ideas are copying whatever movie I saw last night or whatever political points I heard during the day. I know i'm at least clever enough to make whatever premise fun and engaging but i don't know what is worth pursuing that feels genuine.

ok i am gonna say it cus i want to say it
Would any of you fags would like to do some shit togheter? or at least knock skulls to see if anything comes out of it?

well since you asked so nicely, i'm all ears

Eh, I enjoy animating more than making comics. Time consuming, but worth it.

i been trying to learn how to draw but /ic/ never response and tells me how to improve so i can't start till i get good advice

let me fucking guess, you completely glazed over the sticky, and maybe you read like 10 minutes of loomis before getting board, and you made your own thread instead of posting in /beg/ and got sad when no one replied to your lazy bullshit.
go away.

I dont know,something i guess

Attached: 1471034785569.jpg (550x412, 60K)

Can't draw for shit. Can't write for shit either, but the art is what's really holding me back.

5 months of loomis, saw the sticky and talk in /beg/

/ic/ is not a great place for advice because nobody gives it or halfs ass it for meand everything you said is false

fine just post some art and ask your questions and I'll help you.
btw saying "5 months" without anything about how many hours a day you spend drawing and how much of that is life studies vs. free drawing isn't very useful... and I hope by "5 months of loomis" that doesn't literally mean you've only been reading his books because vilppu and hampton's different approachs can help a lot in stumbling over the basics of gesture (vilppu) and construction (hampton).

I need good names for the characters i have. i can make a character with motivations, personality, all that jazz, I can just never thinkof a decent name

Anxiety over my art and storytelling skills, doubt over whether it's even worth committing to paper or digital ink, and the constant need to change certain elements so that there's no similarities to anything that's popular these days.

well i'm a complete scumbag when it comes to sharing credit,so that don't help..

a cheap way of doing it would be exploiting what's popular..politics? the gurgling of crap from dc and marvel?

>fine just post some art and ask your questions and I'll help you
No, if /ic/ a place with semi artist isn't helpful and is just a circle jerk of assholes then why should i post my work here to someone grasping for excuses as to why i don't get a reply.
>inb4 whines about me not posting my work

>btw saying "5 months" without anything about how many hours a day you spend drawing and how much of that is life studies vs. free drawing isn't very useful
I don't need to tell you what i do when i study nor need to add that information when i replied to you. i answered the questions you replied with not give you details of my life.

>I hope by "5 months of loomis" that doesn't literally mean you've only been reading his books because vilppu and hampton's different approachs can help a lot in stumbling over the basics of gesture (vilppu) and construction (hampton).
i never even implied that. How do you learn from just reading a book and why in gods name did you ever type this out. I DRAW. i am not reading a book but i am using a book and videos to DRAW

>wanting to be popular
nah man, not that shit

>pretends that he posted art
>doesn't actually post art
I sure do love roleplayers. Sure glad roleplaying isn't against the rules. Wouldn't help the community at all to get rid of the roleplayers.

>>inb4 whines about me not posting my work
every time

>No
suit yourself
>I don't need to tell you [blah blah] muh privacy
i'm going to hack into your bank account once you tell me you draw 30 minutes a day lol
>How do you learn from just reading a book and why in gods name did you ever type this out. I DRAW
how did you arrive at the conclusion that I meant this when I said "exclusive" when in the same sentence I talk about two other authors?

*when I said "literally"

when in doubt, sell the fuck out

if i had to think of a comic i would *like* to see.

Mad Max vs Cars

The overall concept of it just sounds ridiculous and I can't write for shit.

Serious question for everyone here.

How many of you actually draw and if you do know how to draw then why not try to get a job in marvel?

also post work

cuz marvel's goin after the patriarchyyyy...and the Disney overlords lurking in the circle-eared shadows spread their clutches further into the heart of our dear society..

if I'm going to be paid peanuts and be treated like dirt i would rather it was for my own work. the idea of plugging away at the hundredth reboot of some famous character is not appealing, especially when I have no ownership of it.

/ic/ has hardened your heart.

i dont got a tablet,i just draw because i feel like most of the time , i am more of a writter , but yet i still know how to draw and even animate

bad at stories and characters.

I do know how to draw and write a story but to work at something like Marvel would be terrible because I don't want my creativity being used for some political correct agenda.

cause i don't know if my body is correct and if it is at least good enough to start doing stuff i would be stuck cause i don't know how to draw eyes or hair for shit( cartoon or comic eyes).

Lack of time and confidence in my skill. I know I draw well, but none of my drawings have soul and I can't draw action for shit.

My best advice is to start and let the first draft be that, a first draft. I plan to do that on summer and you should too, let's hope to see some results, good or bad.

P I S S D R O P P L E T S

>invent a scenario in which you deserve to be called out
>act smug when you are called out
Roleplayers, everyone.

Im trying but learning the skills and making something good both take a long time

a question to all.
is this body fine( i see some flaws) can i move on to drawing fun stuff while learning or should i keep learning

I'm not funny

funny

I can't write for shit.

Look at how hard i can pee

I need to fucking learn how to draw faces

Haven't seriously tried drawing since high school
Can't settle on an idea and write on it
Haven't used any other site than Yea Forums in a decade and i don't know how the twitters and the discords work to make myself a big e-celeb and get people to read my shit.

Attached: 1560988798106.jpg (750x902, 46K)

I too get paralyzed with excitement

Practice by drawing comics!

Everything I want to write is licensed. I fucking suck at coming up with brand new characters and settings, because I want everything to be completely fleshed out from day 1.

but its not impossible

I have zero ideas as to what to write about and can't draw for shit.

I can't draw a straight line to save my life

Your mom takes up too much of my time.

cant write for shit

How do I learn how to write a good story or make great characters?

writer, not an artist. I've written specs but i have no artistic talent. also never seen story boarding done so I'm unsure how to convert my script writing for an actual artist.

My sanity and self-worth.

Working on a few and it's really fun being the writer. Drawing sucks all kinds of dick.

All my ideas turn into porn.

That's good, plenty of artists avoid drawing perfectly straight lines. They look very inorganic.

While I'm not great, I'm experienced with art. Despite how much I hate doing it, writing is one of my stronger skills. I'm good at forming ideas and I kind of suffer from world-building syndrome. The problem is that I'm fucking unmotivated and lazy. Back when my skills were shit I could think up an entire plot and draw several pages in one sitting. Now I get bored the moment I pick up a pencil. I'm thinking of giving up creative work and just getting into a trade.

Writer's block plus no inspiration

I always had this idea about four major fairy races + some minor ones getting into a racial holy war against each other for some land/ancient empire they all originated from.

I'm not that good of an artist though and I doubt people would be interested. So I decided to just roll over and do nothing.

I can't write at all, so I just draw lewds and cute stuff

>i cant draw shit
Neither can anyone in that Hows your Webcomic thread

I bet if we werent lazy and on a more organized platform we might actually get some projects going.

Same here.
That, and I simply don't have any stories to tell.
In my 24 years of existence absolutely nothing interesting's happened.
I have nothing to draw from in terms of writing.
Might as well work on drawing which is my greatest strength.

I have been making an idea in my head for a series I was like 7. But I can't draw and probably not a strong writer either.

It looks ok, honestly i would worry more about the writting.

I used to draw every single day, I wanted to go to art school but couldn't afford it and was afraid of debt, I made it a goal of mine to finish one page in my sketch book a day, sometimes it would be shit but other times I'd go like 3-4 pages deep, bought a bunch of anatomy books and animation books (Even if you don't intend to animate, if you want your drawings to have life I recommend it) and I did that for a good three years in solitude just self educating myself though books and
online videos. Ienjoyed it very much. but then I started gaining friends, not drawing, started doing drugs, met a girl, got sober, had kids, got cucked, and now I have a really nice job as a manager for a big company and a shitty marriage and a nice home and vehicle. My kids were about the only good thing to come out of everything. now I'm so busy with work and trying to be a good dad while my life slips away, and my marriage is basically over, and all I ever really wanted to do since I was a kid was draw and tell good stories. I hope I can continue to do well at my job so I can put my kids through college, so they can have the chance to chase their dreams that I gave up

composition and skills
like i know how to draw good enough to like what i draw but i dont think i can do a good story to fit my drawing

you see stuff like this
and while there is not a complex drawing it hass a good visual narrative and composition, i mean it doesnt look convoluted

i still think one was lucky as fuck, i mean yeah the webcomic is fun and the drawing is enearing but comeone im pretty sure is not the only quality amateur content of quality out there

>i cant draw shit
Then practice nigga

Incredibly unfocused and lazy, plus I got some psychological baggage to work through. I'm getting better, but not at the speed I'd like.

>be decent artist
>have good ideas
>plenty of character sketches and drawings
>zero
>fucking
>discipline
For the life of me I can't just sit down and even sketch simple things anymore. I know my home life is currently trash, and the stress doesn't help, but it's not an excuse.

I'm working on improving my art in preparation to make a webcomic, but I'm still pretty bad. I hope to be less bad soon, though. I have an entire story plotted out in my head.

>I can't draw, so I'll never try and learn
You're better off failing at something than never trying like some limp-dick cuck.

Everyone who said they "can't" for stupid, insecure, bullshit """reasons""" needs to be breed out of the gene pool.

I get aroused by Reading
I often end up masturbating with a Book on one Hand, even if its not erotic at all

There are actual videos of asian women cooking while talking to the camera, someone posted them in /r9k/ some years ago

Same

My story idea is very long and ambitious and I fear starting a project that will never be completed in any reasonable amount of time. Even in a hypothetical dream world where people were interested in my idea and a little fanbase formed, nobody would stick around for the ending.

im fucking lazy, saying any other thing about it would be just a shitty excuse for myself.
