This is a very good comic, and it describes every author (or #artist) who is unsure of themself. Don't let this be you!
Complete stories (your vision) regardless of the merit you see in them.
Start a next one. Full stop. Then another.
Complete and send out more stories even if some editor (or commenter) doesn't buy or like them.
It's all practice, every single failure or not-good-enough. Practice makes you better, whatever they think, or you think. Keep practicing.
Take from criticism only whatever helps you identify or fix problems; reject being put in your place or ridiculed. It's practice. Your art is unique to you. Be truthful with yourself, though.
Keep starting and completing stories. Statistically, some will be good—and you will start to recognize the wheat in the chaff.
Their first stories weren't fabulous. Neither may be yours. The difference? They kept on starting, completing, sending (or posting), until they found success. Let that be you.
Please remember: #boostingIsSharing and boost to give others a moral boost.
I'm working on comics again! Feels very good. Besides the random strips, I'm actually doing a new "full story", which seems to be tied directly into Pan-Gea.
Pictured here is a page from the original Pan-Gea comic from the mid-2000s. You can see more at my website. #comics#pangea
“On one of the bike paths that I use, I often see an older couple out on a stroll…” A daily comic that I did from two years ago (May 25, 2022)
(Update: I have seen the older gentleman out walking the path every now a then. For some time, he was walking alone. However recently, a new older woman has been joining him.) #comics
One of the most recent collabs I've had the pleasure of doing! This was done for @aradiacollective 's (free) summer zine last year, appropriately titled "Summer in Aradia!"
The characters come from "XII: Of Magic & Muses" (and its sequel, "Of Rogues & Remnants") by @batichi , who also drew the entire thing. I simply colored the whole dang thing! :blobfoxartist:
#JusticeLeague is the heart and soul of DC, and over the years their roster has included its fair share of amazing #Asian members. Some of them have even joined multiple versions of the League!

From a sword-wielding mercenary to a brilliant scientist, here are five remarkable #AAPI#superheroes who have been members of the Justice League.
