At least with art, practice makes perfect. But what can be done about bad storytelling? I low key envy people who are good at storytelling.

Thumbnails are key to improve story telling. They don't have to be elaborate, but do think about angles and clarity. Typing paper, a sketchbook, doesn't matter, it's just the raw story. Show them to friends, get some feedback as to whether they can understand what you want them to see and feel. They're easy to fix, then when you're happy, transfer what you arranged to your final artwork. Hope that helps.

My proccess as a lone webcomic artist: I've written all of my plot points and ending in a small summary. I don't have a script. I go with the flow and reach my plot points organically. I only make thubnails and figure out the dialogue on top of the thubnailing proccess. It's really quicker and gets you working faster without losing motivation. Atleast works for my webcomic!

“Start your comic this year” Me: looks at the calendar. It’s says January 1st 2021 Me: Alright

My issue is just trying to motivate myself to work on it. I have so many ideas floating around in my head, characters that I love and have backstories for, and plot lines, but I can't ever get myself to sit down and work on it. I always end up getting distracted and drawing fanart instead of original content. I sort of got one comic started, but it's only the first 10 or 11 pages over the course of 2 or 3 years. I don't know why i can't ever get myself motivated to work on it. I love the characters and ideas i have(even if they do still need a lot of work) and constantly daydream about the characters, but I have no energy to get it all out of my head. I just end up drawing fanarts instead. I'm not sure if it's because my fan content gets noticed more than my original content(which even then my fanart doesn't get that popular) or what. I never thought i cared about being noticed but perhaps that's it after all? Or perhaps i just need more self discipline and force myself to work on the comics anyway? But then if i do that i'm afraid of having a burnout and no longer liking the comics. Edit: Your video was super helpful. I think part of my issue is that I'm mainly working straight from my head, no script or anything. It's just a story and characters me and my friend briefly talked about a few times, so maybe a script or list will help. And maybe starting on a smaller comic (the two me and my friend have are pretty much full blown series' lol). I also definitely will need to draw the characters more because other than two simple wolf characters i have't drawn the main cast of either comic that much. I'm definitely going to give some of your tips a try and see where things go. Hopefully i'll be able to get myself motivated to work on the comic.

I'm so tempted to start a webcomic, but not only do I have several ideas (some original, most fandom related) but the way hyperfixations go I'm fairly certain I'd start super quick, several pages, and then abruptly abandon it in a week. Although I think if I got my art good enough that a writer wanted to commission me, that would probably work out better in the future! I'm way more motivated when a) working for compensation (who can blame me?) and b) working for other people, because then I want to deliver the best content possible for them!

Ugh.....scripts.....During my storyboarding class we had an assignment where we had to work from a script and it honestly was my least favorite assignment from the class.

Thank you for this! I actually enjoy prep work but I sometimes struggle with health etc so I am learning to work around that and get all my character refs and scripts done for my comic.

I’m so glad this video was recommended to me. One of my big projects this year is finally getting started on my webcomic.

I think that's a nice idea. you can get more comfortable in your own setting and stuff. I have a really long-term and big scale idea which I definitely won't manage to make properly with my current skills so I have several short stories planned in the same world with several characters who come into play later. some of them also have cool backstories which would feel unnecessary in the main thing

I'm happy to have found your video. I was 18 when I decided to start a comic. But because drawing was a hard thing for me, I focused more on the plot and story narrative than the drawings. I did practice a ton of drawings and I am at least on the level of drawing full body pictures for character sheets. I'd hire hardcore re-readers (who would also be my editor) to look around past content and make sure that what I'm currently writing doesn't contradict what was established in the past (aka plot holes/retcons)

I want to say thank you for this video. I've been working on a comic idea for about 7 years - aimless and unsure what I'm doing, and being pushed forward only by the love and care I have for my idea. I've been in the same boat, searching for someone to tell me how to do this, and I've only just now got to a point where I'm confident in posting it. A lot of my character sheets and ideas have become an embedded mental thing over time, but I thank you for this. It is helpful, and helps me feel less scared to take the jump.

I'm so excited to start my webcomic!! I still have to develop it but once I do (it should take me maybe 2 months to develop hopefully?) I will launch it! I'm 15 and I'm excited to show what I can do and see how much I grow :) thank you for helping!

Man, this is sooo weird... I've been beating myself up for the longest time for giving up on doing a comic for years and I was seriously pushing myself to finally do it this year. It felt like you were talking directly to me. You gained a follower. Thank you so much for this.

I currently am starting a Webcomic called I Accidentally Married The Devil, and this is actually very encouraging... thank you for helping.. I had a starter comic called Divorced, which isn't going well, and I'm getting really out of it because I think I jumped in head first without being properly prepared.. but with watching a few of McKay and Gray videos, I feel ready to start fresh!

You people actually prepare yourself to this long-term commitment? haha (damn that's actually really cool you're awesome) I was bored in quarantine. Now it's August, I am 7 episodes in, starting to realize what I have done to myself. Can't back off now, there are people actully reading it.

As a perfectionist, it's really hard for me to show other people my art (probably not a good thing since I'm pursuing a career in illustration!) so it's always inspiring to see other people who have had the guts to jump right in even if they don't think that their product is perfect yet :) Thanks for being you!

Love that this is just now gettting recommended to me

Never knew I need this kind of motivation

It's already 2021 and i'm gonna start thank you.

You are precious and I appreciate your existence. QwQ

U don't stop talking throughout the video😂😂.. greattt

Thanks for this! I'm starting this year. I also made con-attending goals for this year, so here goes nothing.

Thank you so much I needed this

I was just starting to think of making my own comic and I was panicing because I didnt know how to do it, but this video help me a lot.

I just found your channel today from a friend and I am immediately subscribing because I am an aspiring web comic creator and you just seem perfect! (Btw, my friend is also my partner in the creator process. We both write and draw, but im the main artist and she's the main author.) I am SO looking forward to your videos

Thanks for the push dude.

Seeing this a year later, but 2020 is my year to start my comic...I'm nervous, but it's TIME.

I swear youtube reccommendations can read my mind I was thinking of doing a webcomic but I never searched up anything on how to do one yet AND THEN THIS VIDEO JGNB

yes. thank you youtube. thank you for giving me this video *a year later.*

2 years late but i will start my webcomic this year, ty for the advice :)

Thanks, this is plenty of insight into what I plan on doing in the future. Right now I'm working on designing an entire fictional city set in 2035 on an island town off the coast of the United States. It's... a lot of work, but I'm having fun, and that's the important part.

Somehow, some way, your voice sounds IDENTICAL to mine. Like, my voice but with my Aunt's way of speaking. I'm about halfway through your video and it's just so weird to hear "my" voice talking back at me. Even my mom agrees that we sound identical, and she only heard half a second of your video. This is a beyond surreal experience.
