If you had great drawing skills, would you ever create a comic or no?

The only reason I was aware of it at all is because one of their political satirist groups made a political statement against a certain religion and had unrest on their hands for doing so.

I donā€™t have killer drawing skills, but I have created short comics of simple characters not in the style of manga or anything. Just doodles for funsies. And not related to my stories.

If you did, would you turn one of your novels into a comic just for pure fun?

I first learnt of Bandes DessinƩes from a Rageaholic YouTube video (some course language within).

Yes. Definitely.

And I also have ideas for fantasy comics, but I canā€™t draw them :confused:

Probably not a comic because I got a taste of it in college, and no thanks haha. :laughing: But Iā€™d definitely like to draw specific scenes or ā€œfan artā€ of my characters to bring interest to my stories. I would love to be in control of my storyā€™s book covers too. Iā€™ve been practicing though. Hopefully one day I can actually reach a level where my drawing actually matches whatā€™s in my head. :crossed_fingers:

I feel this. Iā€™ve had moments where I tried not to take it seriously and sketch one of my OCs but as soon as I felt like a newly born calf on jelly legs, and the drawing looked terrible, I gave up. Anyone can draw, problem is yes, it is a commitment, and one that requires time. Perspective helps too. I feel like I draw like crap, but then I look back at sketchbooks from years ago, and I see the improvement. The only way to improve is to draw, draw, draw, the same way we can only improve our writing by actually writing. Itā€™s an uphill battle for sure. And thereā€™s always going to be someone ā€œbetterā€ out there.

The world! Hah! Iā€™m just going to pretend said world doesnā€™t exist because I have enough trouble trying to draw eyes and hands. :laughing:

Exactly, right? Now having to draw environments for them to interact with??? Thatā€™s asking a lot from my small amount of drawing skills.

yeah, i totally get it :pensive:
personally for myself, iā€™ve kindā€™ve gotten over the ā€œoh my art is crapā€ hurdle - (i still feel that way, like constantly, i just, for the most part, stopped letting it make me quit my art) itā€™s mostly the commitment bit i struggle with. i have adhd so my attention strays often and i canā€™t sit down with a project for a long period of time, so i struggle with starting and finishing art, especially when itā€™s something daunting like a comic - thatā€™s just so much work, and itā€™s a big olā€™ struggle :smiling_face_with_tear:

itā€™s true thereā€™s always gonna be people better out there, sucks even more when theyre younger or the same age as you, butā€¦ weā€™re all our own people. iā€™m proud of the progess iā€™ve made at the very least, even if itā€™s not the amount i wanted i at least made it, and everyone else should try to be too :ā€˜ā€™)

I got plenty of mixed comments here.
Some would make a comic and other would not do it at all.

Interesting. Thank you all for answering, cool peeps!

Iā€™m in the same boat. I have a habit of trying to develop habits, and then I drop them. Or I stick to them, miss a day or two, and never get back to them. Habits are hard. I feel ya. :disappointed:
