My creative process
2 years ago
Hello!
It's been an empty couple of months, which was something I was trying to avoid, but I finally got past my current roadblock.
I just posted a long winded comic and it's been the main thing I've been working on all this time. However I bit off way too much in one picture and after I sketched it out, it got really intimidating and easy to procrastinate. I did a couple small pictures in the meantime but I know that the more projects I work on, the less likely I am to go back and finish a work in progress.
I trapped myself between not wanting to chip away at such a big picture, and not wanting to abandon it. So instead I did the only logical thing and put off drawing altogether. The lesson I've learned is to cut comics into much smaller pieces, which seems a bit obvious in hindsight.
The last thing I want to say is that I currently don't plan to monetize my art at all. If I can go so long without posting, I couldn't bear someone giving me money and then feeling ripped off.
I mainly wrote this to organize my thoughts, but if my mistakes help anybody else avoid the same problems it's all worth it.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
