HOW I GOT GOOD AT CREATING COMICS

HOW I GOT

GOOD

AT CREATING

COMICS

My journey as a comic writer and artist is an interesting one a lot of trial and error to say the least. I have been drawing all my life since the age when I figured out that Crayons weren't candy lol..

Now I wasn't born with ability to draw at the level I do today. Like most I could only draw stick figures. Like every artist I worked at it and kept going..

The same was said with my writing I had to work at it. Story writing in Primary school was always my favorite time coming up with not that I was very creative at the time. I started with doing stories about my favorite characters I use to see on TV. Such as Batman the Ninja Turtles, Goku you name it.

With stories came fanart which came inspiration.. Through my high school years was when I started creating my own characters, Chase Hoodlands, Almighty-Eye some of the first comics I ever done. They didn't turn out pretty good as far as the art went or even the story but thats a part of learning trial and error..

So how did I get my comic art to the standard they are today.. I started buying comics and reading a lot of them.. So I could learn how these professional talented comic artist created such amazing art work. And that's how I got better still a lot of trial and error though..

I'll tell you since I've started I've started reading comics I learned a lot about shading drawing expression how to draw many different like buildings.. Backgrounds was the hardest for me a loot of times when I drew backgrounds they looked shocking lol..

Wasn't until I started reading Spawn I got good at my backgrounds cause I was able to understand shading and light composition I also started taking trips to a city to learn how shading works when light hits a building at certain angles and I find that helps a lot.

Story writing developed over time through trial and error creating comics that didn't quite make the cut I made mistakes I got suspended for a week from school writing a really graphic story with real names oopes haha.. My point is I got better at writing stories through reading a lot of novels comics of course and other sources I was able to really improve my comic stories to now they flow page to page... Most importantly I achieve that mistakes through failures and mistakes..

4 bits of advice

first read a lot of comics so you can pick up art tips buy how to draw books invest in improving your art

second keep writing stories start small work your way up. If you read one of your stories and decide its bad ask yourself okay how can I make this story better. And of course read novels read books about writing an extension of investing in your craft

And third embrace your failures and mistakes and learn from them. We live in a society that grooms us to think if we mistakes we must be punished for it or that we're no good. You see that all the time at school when kids are punished for making a mistake while trying to learn.

You see it all the time when a adult is at work they make a mistake or fails to do a certain task and they are fired and out of a job.. You must forget that mindset if your going to pursue something like this..

Web Comic Review Cryptic Yume by Porche Johnson

Web Comic Review

Cryptic Yume by Porche Johnson

Hey guys today it is time for another Webcomic review this time I am reading a fun webcomic by Proche Johnson called Cryptic Yume an adventure and fantasy comic. feel free to read her web comic for yourself here https://tapas.io/series/Cryptic-Yume

First of all I love the art style and character designs the creatures in the comic look interesting I feel Porche has really brought to life quite the magical world there. The art style used is a pretty simple style but it works perfectly with this comic and looks of the characters stay the same. unlike other webcomics I've seen when creators try to do something of a more complicated art styles overtime their characters start looking different and constantly changing cause they get lazy.

This webcomic doesn't have that problem. I also like the colour scheme it really keeps your eyes glued to the page and really brings Porche's world to life.

The designs are really well done 

The Story

The story is about this Janitor named Celeste who tends to day dream alot that she is this amazing warrior hero who is destined to defeat the dark creatures that want to conquer the universe. Which tends to get her in trouble with her boss.

In short she basically lives the same boring life everyday. Working as a Janitor than going home to do more cleaning for her parents. And has been made an outcast by her peers.

Until one day she encounters a magic fish creature who sends her off into a new magical world. Where she meets a group of heroes known as the Cryptzoo. 

They believe Celeste is the chosen one who is destined to defeat the evil Goatman who wants to take over the planet..

Kind of like Flash Gordon if Flash Gordon was a Janitor and a 16 year old girl.

Honestly theres only one thing I find wrong with this webcomic. And that is theres simply not enough episodes and they stop right when the webcomic starts getting more interesting. I hope we get more episodes because this is a really entertaining comic and kept me amused while it lasted.

Thanks for reading my review for this webcomic if you wish to support me please check out my own fantasy webcomic https://tapas.io/series/Wakening-Dream I'll be finally updating it soon
