Comic tips #1
Whew... Okay.

I've learned some things about making comics by posting up my own topic and searching around some posts. I'm gonna post some up from memory...

=====================================================

-If you're going to draw AND write your comic, learn to write.
(ok, that's one thing I definitely need to do...)

-Learn to take criticism, people are gonna point out mistakes you make whether you like them or not... ( I have no problem with that...)

-Practice drawing, practice, practice, practice until your fingers fall off.

-Enjoy what you do, if you don't: comics possibly ain't for you.

-Try not to start making comics just because you want to be famous, you probably won't like it. ( sweatdrop )

-Start with something simple, it's not like you're gonna make the best comic ever in the first try.(Though... I've already tried once before... I failed miserably, my second try is frozen in place right now due to bad writing skills...)
=====================================================

As for drawing skills... I have been practicing a little bit... though not that much, because of distractions... like Mythbusters.

AND if anyone has any extra tips, go ahead and put some in the form of comments... if you want to.

If I were to give a tip it would be to never give up and don't be afraid to ask for help.
