KEY TAKEAWAYS
Don’t attempt to create a 100-page comic until you’ve completed a 5-page comic. Break down your goals into achievable mini-steps to avoid overwhelming yourself. Seeing small projects to completion helps you learn quickly and understand what will be required if you want to do more.
Use your 9-to-5 job to support your art, but treat your art as seriously as you treat your job.
Try different formats (like a square canvas instead of a rectangular one). You’ll be surprised at how it changes your visual storytelling!
Physical, human-made art will always be valuable, especially in the age of AI.
