Before you start a Long-Form Comic

- As Comic Artists, we may have many ideas and projects in the back of our mind, but sometimes we fail to realise our own limitations. We can definitely start and learn along the way, but when it comes to something we are attached to, we may want to change our approach. In this video, I go over the concept of practicing with smaller digestible comics first, learning without much risk or adverse consequences as a result. We give ourselves a flexible way to attempt, learn or fail, in order to prepare ourselves for the thing we’re striving for, that long running (or short and sweet) Manga/Webcomic idea. Hope you enjoy :3c

Honestly, I wasn’t sure how to title this video, so I hope it wasn’t misleading x-x.
This really helped me finally start making comics, instead of just PREPARING to make one lol. Hope it also helps anyone else out there!
I only feel it's unachievable because i can't think of any story ideas do you have any tips for that?
You're not wrong- a well thought out and cohesive story is hard to achieve. I think what helped me the most (not that I'm good at it), was to consume more stories from other artists
Comics, Games and other media can serve as a good foundation to inspire you. I'd start by thinking about what your interests are, stories you like, characters you enjoy- make a list and try to build connections between them
Hope it helps c:
I thought this was really helpful, Also I do have a question? if there is any videos I could watch or something I could do to help me with my writing Cause I know that gets better over time but I kind of need to figure out how I would go about Figuring out the Riding Well anyways Just thought I would ask :-P
I'm glad you found it helpful! I still have a lot to learn in the writing department, but what helped me get started was @/AbbieEmmons. She has a lot of videos about setting up a story. You can also check out McKay & Gray who talk about comics specifically (I'm sure there're many others channels as well)
For my current project I just googled '3 Act Story Structure' and found a guide on how to approach each phase, and that seemed to help me a lot. Sorry, I don't have many resources, but I hope it's useful. Writing is tough, so I feel your pain x.x
Good luck with your story c:
