![]() ![]() It will be a quiet start, so just appreciate the people who get to see your comic first and try interacting with them in your comments section. It’s hard to see that once you do finally start your comic, you probably won’t see a whole lot of readers flooding in at once. You won't get readers overnight, but that's no reason to stop posting your comic. They still matter, but you don’t have to nitpick them to death. So point made: focus on those important panels and don’t give too much extra time and energy to panels that don’t matter as much. And then you’re like, “well dang I have to wait another whole week?!” But you go back to that one amazing panel and treasure it. The dialogue and action probably pull you to the next panel without much resistance and then you get to a wow moment where the comic’s creator slows down the pace and gives you that one amazing panel usually as a cliffhanger at the end of the episode. If you’re still not convinced, Read your favorite webcomic and then ask yourself if you lingered on EVERY single panel as if it were an absolute masterpiece. I mean establishing scenes, yea that.Īll these extra details going in each panel don't matter as much as you think. Just save the High budget stuff for important moments. You can do it for your comic to get between points in your story. Whole scenes that clearly look like the animation team ran out of budget. Stick figures to represent the characters for a panel, chibi drawings, or panels with less shading, panels with only a color or gradient as the background. Use them for comedic purposes, use them in varying states of budget. Things won’t ever be perfect and nitpicking the heck out of your comic isn’t going to help you hit that publish button.īudget panels are great. And yes research is important but again, don’t let it prevent you from even starting. You learn a lot faster actually making and posting your comic than you do just doing the research. I was locked in a cycle of learning and learning and learning and while I did learn a lot about the comic making process, I was also just using it as an excuse to put off actually doing the thing. And don’t let these tips intimidate or distract you from starting. Starting is one of the highest hurdles for a lot of beginning comic artists. ![]()
