Birth of a new.
It’s been almost a year since I last posted anything art related on the internet. In fact, it’s been almost a year since I’ve even really drawn anything.
There are a few reasons this has happened. One being that I just became bored with the strip. I’d run out of ideas and didn’t know where to go, which obviously shows by the large variety of comics thrown up on the site. Strips ranging from Malcom & Steve, to stick-man comics, to the infamous comic I’d drawn while drunk and smacked up on the site. Not professional at all.
I told myself if I ever done a comic strip again, I’d do it the right way. I’d plan the strip in advance, create characters that had backgrounds, depth and personality. I wanted the cast planned in advance and a buffer of strips ready in hand.
Recently I’ve been wanting to do it. I’ve had an incredible itch to start drawing again, to creat a comic. It’s hard because it’s so frustrating at the same time. I want nothing more than to load up Painter and Photoshop and pump out some toons. The only problem is that I don’t really know where to start. I’m having the hardest time in the world deciding on a time, place, and setting for my comic. The only character I really have is Malcom, and I don’t even know if I like his name anymore. I don’t know what I want this comic to be about, but I want it so bad! I’ve never had such a hard time creating new characters, I just don’t know how to go about it anymore.
So yes, I’m in the very VERY early stages of creating a comic. But I’ve learned from my past experience not to throw just anything on the internet. I ask anyone who has experience in webcomics…HELP! Please offer any information you can, guide me! How do I go about creating a cast, how do I know what kind of comic to create? How do I write? I’m a horrible writer and I know it.
See you soon.
