Hey Trent, I've got a couple comic creating/ scheduling questions. I've got A LOT of time on my hands and I want to be a comic creator more than anything, but this pandemic has me anxious enough to keep me losing focus on drawing and getting a lot done. Like I said, I have nothing but time on my hands which can lead me to think to much and not in a creative way like I did before the stress of a pandemic, so my question is: what are some things you do throughout the day to keep you focused on your comic creation during the pandemic? how do you schedule yourself to work more efficiently to stay focused and keep your mind off unneeded stress?

I am sure he will answer you. But this is just a matter of focus. I personally put all my social media away in folders not readily accessible. I watch ZERO news or other fear porn. Focus on the idea, immerse yourself in practice have that sketchbook and notebook; click on Trent’s art tutorials that you can download and have that at hand. Make the laptop and cell phone hard to find. Just what I do. 👍

@@dextergarner1286 I work digitally mostly. but social media isn't a big issue with me. I guess I should have phrased it more towards scheduling advice, rather than focus. I think if I can keep myself on a schedule like I did when I used to go to school then I'd have better luck keeping focused. I guess I mean more like scheduling yourself in order to stay focused. pretty much what he does to keep from procrastination.

Speaking personally, if I love a video game and its art style, its world, its characters, and its gameplay, I *absolutely* want to know who designed which levels, what their top-down processes were, what they were thinking when they made things, and how much they had to leave behind on the cutting room floor. If you worked on a beloved game's levels, then somewhere out there, someone knows your name solely because of those levels, and the rest of your art is a bonus to them.

I can’t say anything myself, but for now I’d suggest doing sketches/coloured for a character or scenery, just one page and post it to start. That helps you begin to get into the practice of drawing and can be a good starting point. Once you’re comfortable and feel you can do the one page/character sheet in the amount of time you feel is enough, keep practicing and challenging yourself, doing more at a time at a comfortable pace, also helps to improve style. However, it’s good to know how to work your drawing into your life and studying, so taking breaks and doing less for a bit is ok. It’s good to post your art online to help build up character and reputation, a starting point to build an audience, and lastly when you feel you are at a point where you can do a set amount of pages in the desired time you want, then I think that’s a good point to try doing short comics/full comics and getting feedback out of it, not just the drawings but the writing as well.

Thanks for the great comic information! On a different note, what are your opinions on using an alias vs using your name? I see lots of working professionals use their name while a lot of younger artists or people newer to the industry use an alias. I'm just curious because I'm debating on changing my art handle to something more catchy and memorable which would be closer to an alias.
@imapanda34683 жыл бұрын
i think it depends how much you value privacy ngl. this day in age its so easy to look someone up, and the use of an alias is super common within eastern art circles, in contrast to the west where people are more opted to use real names. i think ultimately it depends how much you feel comfortable sharing about yourself publically. i think using an alias is a great idea, and as long its a name you for sure are gonna keep and nothing too cringy, you should be fine.

As an artist, I thought the hardest part is learning how to draw, but what I've learned along the way, is that the hardest part is really marketing and getting people to be interested in what you do. I wish we live in a world where we don't have to worry about bills cuz if that was the case, I'd just spend my whole day making my own art and not worry about marketing it. But that's not the world we live in, and for an artist to survive independently, people need to care about what they do. It's either have a strong following or be skillful enough to have a studio hire you. Those are basically the two paths you have if you wanna make a living as an artist. My marketing is really weak hence why I still work in a studio. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and I'm learning a lot of new artistic and technical skills, but my real dream is to have my own comic IP. And making that work is gonna be a really tough challenge hence why I watched this video for some tips.

Well you obviously won't own the events themselves but making a product out of them is different (I'm no lawyer or anything, but this seems like the most logical answer) and a product you make will always be yours, that is if you make it entirely by yourself (eg if you write from scratch about a historical event, that piece of writing is yours even if the event itself isn't) Basically, when you rework something that is no one's property (let alone just get inspired by it) it should be yours. And public domain is no one's property. I hope I could help!
