Yall in the comments keep in mind writing a comic isn't only "motivation", it's also discipline. There are gonna be hard days.

They say it takes a few weeks to make a habit. Once you get used to doing something consistently, it's also a lot easier. I did a month long challenge for daily art in May, and by June it felt really strange not drawing. (I wanted to recover before art fight, so I didn't keep the daily uploads up). My point is 100% discipline, and yes, I had days where drawing was really hard, especially by the end of the month. But once you get into a habit it's a lot easier to keep it up.

@Dumbassfeature Жыл бұрын
The will to stay disciplined comes from motivation imo. If you have no motivation, you arent going to stay consistent. I think its easy for people to see discipline and hard work is a factor and to applaud it, but a lot of people look at what goes behind that and think, ‘wow, what kind of thing could drive a person to stick through the hard days?’

ADHD ensures you can never keep up a routine. Sure you can go for weeks, months, year keeping up a routine but those of us with ADHD will always just forget one day and now we’re back at square one. And despite that, I’m still trying to make my story a reality. And am envious of people who don’t have ADHD and can actually focus on tasks without medicine or being forced to by an outside influence.

Listening all about your experiences doing webcomics, your challenges that you faced and how you tweaked and defeated them in your own way, as well as giving us advice for creating "our" own comics and how to do it the way we love it most from our imagination, was unbelievably useful and cool to hear! Thx ;3

Pro tip: Build a buffer. The bigger, the better. I know it's tempting to release a page as soon as you make it, but that buffer will give you lots of flexibility. Even if you get sick or have an emergency, you can still schedule consistent uploads because you made pages in advance.

I've always wanted to make comics I've had the characters in my head for like a decade now but I can never decide on a story for them. There world just gets adapted to whatever I'm obsessed with at the time. It kinda makes me sad knowing these characters are probably gonna die with me never having a story.

Maybe think about your characters' fears and dreams (as Lavendertowne said) and make conflict from it If your character is a bully who's afraid of getting bullied, for example, give it plot by giving answers to questions like "how did X turn into a bully" or "how do we stop X from bullying" Then get other characters involved, and boom, plot

hmm maybe you could make their story involve travelling to different worlds, so their setting, outfits and even story changes a lot whenever they jump to a new place. I don't know what it is you already have established, though, so sorry if this isn't applicable at all.

If i cant decide on a set story for a character(s) then i make AUs of these characters in twisted versions of their original story. This works for me since each story i write is part of a long timeline of how earth got hecked up by a big alien force. Theres also 2 versions of this timeline so I dont have to stick with one version of the story.

Bro, I've had a comic idea in my head for coming up on 5 years... I have just began it in a way that I'm knowingly satisfied with, but it has been the focus of my portfolio for so long... And this is a video I needed to watch to properly hype myself up to buckle down and work on it.

Seeing your success is so inspiring as a young comic artist, seeing someone in a similar position as me with so much to do but their love of the story they tell motivates them to continue working really hard to create something they love. I'd love to make webtoon a full-time job at one point, but in the meantime, your stuff inspires me to keep working and try to be the absolute best I can be.

My advice (I've been working on my own series for a few years now) but know what kind of story you want to do. A lot of people do slice of life because usually its just short stories. But if you want something more like one piece or naruto, or any long running series, plan it out. Develop your series, do some short stories to experiment, and go from there. Short stories are good to figure out characters and to experiment without committing, then when you're satisfied, go from there. It's easy to just jump into a comic thinking you'll hit it big, but take time to develop it because it's easy to underestimate what goes into it and you'll be happier with the end product just by putting in a bit more time to develop it. You'll find elements that can really elevate your story in ways you hadn't thought of before.

I started planning what is now my own graphic novel back in 2010. I realized in about 2011 that I wanted it to be a graphic novel, I went to art school (unrelated) in 2012, had to drop out in 2015, I kept experimenting with media until about 2019 when I finally settled on traditional linework and pixel art for the color work. I've been chipping away at it seriously since late, late 2020. With work, it's going to take absolutely yeeeeeaaaaarrrrrrs, but being even more motivated into the second year feels great. Reach for the stars! There can probably never be enough graphic novels and comic books!

Oh my god this helped so much. I’ve been brainstorming a story idea for around a year now and it’s been my entire life. The problem was I didn’t know how to start scripting- or drawing it- or when to begin that process. But now with this video my motivation has sky rocketed- I still have a bit to do before scripting- I have some designs that are still iffy but I’m so much more prepared to start now. Thank you so much!! You’re such an inspiration!

I really do want to make a webcomic someday. and seriously, that advice about building motivation as a skill is HUGE. it's so hard and not talked about much but it's SOOOO true. continuing things is a skill. feeling distracted or unmotivated is completely normal and it doesn't mean you're not cut out for it. it's something all the greats had to work through. also oooh 5:20 I love that goat character. I'm a sucker for character designs with more than two eyes, and horns. also 7:44 that background song... it's so familiar (ha) but I can't place it!!! I wish LavenderTowne would list the songs she uses in the description haha

“For a first comic, do something short” Me, look at my undertale fancomic : “... oh well.” More seriously, i see what you mean with the lack of motivation.

Also, I’m happy to hear you say that the line art is what takes the more time, I thought it was just me who was very slow! Great video, like always, you are someone I really look up to!

I wanna be me make art with big ambitions and little budget.

As much as it sucks, I suggest focusing on fanart with doing your art on the side. Fanart draws in people familiar with it, while your personal art is only applicable to those that understand it. I post weekly videos and while personal art gets max 5 views (I suspect from my small friend group) a piece of fanart I drew got 78 views in under a week. It also added two new subs who liked my art style and wanted to stick around. Slowly filter out the fanart and replace it with your own art. It sorta sucks but it's part of the grind x-x
