  You still have a lot to learn yourself as is evident from your handling of your rough sketch. You need to brush up seriously on where your lines are going in the composition, you're lack of that knowledge shows as plain as day at least to this artist. Sorry to knock you, but it's the truth. Go back now and restudy John Buscema's book 'How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way' for starters, and keep looking until it dawns on you exactly what he's doing. Look at the larger picture.

• 
  @gerimi2 ай бұрын

  Thank you! Being stumped isn't always a bad thing. It's your artistic mind pointing at all the things you want to get better at. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, start breaking things into categories… Gesture, Volume, Anatomy, Lighting, Composition, etc… Then start researching them one at a time. Define what you DO know. Make a list of the things you don't, or have trouble with. Then sit down with a drawing pad and a good art book on the subject and start having fun exploring! Easier said than done, I know. But enjoying yourself is the key to removing frustration.

  Comfort and refinement are things I feel that you're always going to struggle with if you're on the path of constant "improvement," whatever that may mean to the individual in question. Some people are looking for stylistic refinement, others proportional or anatomical "perfection" and all myriad of things. In essence it's about what the person has in mind and trying to represent their art in the way they mentally visualize it. But the question comes up to what about the people who don't necessarily have an end point in mind? I would say that the majority of artists have this idea of "I want my art to be good" without actually having that concrete endpoint on what good _even is._ A lot of people end up burning themselves out because they're chasing an ethereal feeling or "vibe." The sense that "I'll know it when I see it" that ends up making them run around in circles. Now that's not say improvement and wanting to improve is bad, far from it, my favorite part of art is the fact that the ceiling is essentially infinite. It's like a game with unending levels and limitless content to explore. However what I'm saying is blindly grinding for the sake of improvement itself may not be what is needed or desired for most artists. Giving yourself a goal, even if it's a small one like "I want to draw my eyes like x" or "I want to learn to depict light and shadow like y" can make a huge change in one's perception on their own improvement. Bringing your art towards the end point where you actually want it and therefore having more enjoyment with the process as a whole.

• 
  @gerimi4 ай бұрын

  I 100% agree. It's the positive version of comparisonitis - having concrete landmarks of a skill that another artist has that you want to achieve, in terms of better proportions, value, anatomy, etc. I try to have a couple different artists in mind that I want to look at whenever I'm focusing on improving a particular skill. Well said! Thank you, Man.

  ​@@LosSantosCity Well, I consider myself an aspiring comic creator too, in the sense that even though I've published a few books, I have yet to be able to make a full time living at it. I'm certainly not qualified to give advice on making a living in comics, but what I've seen a lot people do (myself included), is find a job that covers the bills, preferable creative (Design/animation), and put all of their spare time towards building a body of work, selling at conventions, running kickstarters, with the eventual goal of building a sustainable side business. Even if your goal is to work for a mainstream publisher, putting out some self published comics is a great way to show you can tell a story and finish a book. Good luck and hope to see your comics out there.

  I continue to struggle with any notion that artificial ‘intelligence’ is a tool and a person inputting word prompts is the creative process now. 🫤 So much of the visually impressive stuff is done with stabilizing plugins, which removes the process further from the human side. (Some would say the earlier, more chaotic output was actually more aspiring to be something original / approaching “Art”) but yeah, part of me just thinks it’ll be a gimmick because it really isn’t pushing any meaningful envelopes.

  I tend to share your viewpoint, but I still think it's valuable to stay engaged in conversation with people who are pro-AI. Like it or not, AI is going to radically reshape the business of commercial art in the future. But, to play devil's advocate, if everything AI art generators produce is just regurgitated scraped material, then wouldn't that really mean it is nothing but a tool? Like an Eyedropper for style/rendering? With sliders for realism vs abstractism? I still stand by the fact that removing the "creative act" the brush stroke, the line, the sculpting, is to remove "Art" itself, but I can understand the "tool" metaphor even though I don't 100% buy into it.

  @@gerimi Oh there's no doubt the inclusion of the large language programming will just become a reality (much like how we don't have telephone operators sitting at switchboards or computers that were actual humans), but the production of art I feel was always mostly a sideshow to what these tech companies actually wanted to do. As someone offered up: "If you go tell a machine to write you an entire 1,000-page fiction novel, then who was it for? If you, the 'creator', couldn't be bothered to take the time to write it, who is going to bother to take the time to read it?" Just one point of view on where the line gets drawn.

  I understand your ink dries fast, does it dry so fast you can’t pour the remaining ink back into the bottle? It seems like a waste. If that’s too messy you could use a small syringe to draw the remainder up, with or without a blunt-fill needle on it (it’s thick and without a pointed tip), also disposable gloves can be useful. I like your cap and play dough idea!

  You're 100% correct, PennyCandyys! Usually at the end of an inking session, I'll pour whatever remaining ink I have left back into the bottle.

  This is exactly what I've been looking for in a tutorial. What does each level of planning look? How does it all feed into the next step? How much detail is enough detail? You've encapsulated all the thoughts going through my head into a simple process. Thank you. I've been trying not to get bogged down by detail but sometimes the details are the most motivating and inspiring. Having a system that works on a high level without the detail is what I've been missing.

  @gerimi8 ай бұрын

  Hi Sundji. Thanks for watching! How much detail to put into each step is a personal choice. I prefer to keep it as minimal as possible for exactly the reasons you state. Too much detail can clutter and slow down the process. But then there are writers like Alan Moore who write mini-essays for each page of comic art and describe it beautifully. It is a matter of both personal taste and what actually works for you. I recommend taking a look at the Comic Script Archive and read some scripts from a variety of writers. See what speaks to you, in terms of detail and format, then try re-writing your script in a few different styles to see what feels right. www.comicsexperience.com/scripts/ Remember, it's an art, not a science. But it still requires a hell of a lot of experimentation. Please let me know if that answers your question, or if you have follow up questions. Good luck.
