You want to make comics?

Bulletin:

I get a lot a questions about how I manage to keep working on TroA. How I don’t get distracted, upset, etc. But I do! I get discouraged all the time! It happens to the best of us. But the key to creating a comic, is to keep at it. Don’t listen to anything negative that anyone has to say. If you’re making pages, you’re training yourself. You have to be able to tell the difference between the haters and the people who are giving advice. If someone’s being an ass, don’t even finish reading what they have to say. It’ll just bother you and make the next page more difficult to make.

If they’re trying to help, don’t blow up at them, and don’t take it to heart. Creating a comic is like exercise, you’re practicing. My ONLY goal with TroA was that when I reach the last page, it’s two or three times better than the first pages. I can see improvements in my work, and looking back at the early pages inspire me. I can see how much better I’ve gotten. Don’t worry if you first pages aren’t up to par with your latest pages. If they were, then you’re not improving anymore.
