Any tips for a newbie trying to write a comic?

maybe...

Start now!!! Perfect will never come. A year from now you'll have learned more than you ever would have by waiting to be good enough to let yourself start in the first place.

Starting small is generally good advice, but really you should start with the story you're actually excited to make.

Every scene is there to accomplish a specific goal, and that goal CAN be accomplished in more than one way. Don't go ahead with a scene you don't love because you "need" it. Plan ahead, and edit with a machete.

If you don't love a scene, your readers won't love it either.

You have to be your number one fan, keep your number one critic to yourself. Putting yourself down doesn't make anyone want to read your comic.

The process that works for you is NOT what will work for others! Be patient with yourself as you figure out what does work, it takes a long time.

Clarity is far more important than anything else. Your comic doesn't need to be gorgeous, what it NEEDS to be is clear, direct, and effectively show the reader what they need to know.

Characters need to show their emotions and actions

Backgrounds need to tell us where we are

Paneling needs to show us which order to read things in

Using photos, 3d models, or copy/pasted assets is all perfectly fine and acceptable. As long as you own the rights to use the images or models, you're allowed to use them however you see fit. It's not cheating.

Do not start making comics for money

Don't start making comics for fame

Comics aren't a stepping stone to adaptations. If you want an animation, make an animation.

Get into comics because you love comics and you've got a story that you simply can't go another day without telling.

Make comics!

When the “oh no this is the worst thing that could happen right now” thing happens but it’s okay because you can still read about gay mentally ill fictional characters falling in love.

Okay, can we please stop with this peaceful protest bullshit when it comes on to people in situations like these.

Do you realise how self centered and ignorant you are being when you sit wherever you are, reading about a disaster but decided to comment on reasonably aggression calling it as horrid as what is happening.

You cannot put a rapid fire out with a peaceful drop of water. You have to drown the fire or meet the fire with fire.

Look at the history of peaceful protesters, those who decided not to work (in morden terms, went on strike) for rights and see what happened to them. They had an impact but they were brutalized.

Aggression is a language that many respect and understand, so if protestors can't get their messages sent. Their statements will be seen and heard.

Also this is not a protest for simple things, these people were forced out of their homes. They are literally being erased. tell me truthfully, WHO WOULDN'T BE ENRAGED. Not only are they being stripped of what's theirs, they're being painted as the aggressors. Why should they be calm?

Those who try to protest peacefully for simpletons to sympathies with them hoping for some change are disposed of so obviously there's a group that said fuck that.

Let these people rage and support that rage.

if i was a popular minecraft youtuber id just tweet "hey guys stop drawing shipping fanart of me and my friends/coworkers, i only fucked one of them and seeing me paired with anyone else is kinda weird and crosses my boundaries" and then i'd turn my phone off

[on the verge of having a complete breakdown] i need to make some kind of list or perhaps sort things into categories

[mayhemchicken-artblog]

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off

EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through
