I'm currently re-reading an indie manga I liked very much and thinking "man, my art is better than this dude's at times".

So I think "making it" would mean being able to finish a work of art and give it shape. I could have done it years ago already. Improving technical skill is irrelevant if you know how to use limitations as possibility.

Making it = having discipline and a North.

You and me both, brother.

Same thing happened to me reading Scott Pilgrim. There's people on /beg/ that can draw better than pic related, but there's SO MUCH to be said about actually finishing a complete work of art, not getting stuck in that "gotta improve" never ending cycle and having nothing to show for it in the end.

Looking at most successful comics/manga/whathaveyou you can see a lot of flaws because the product is what matters, not the perfection of it.

This guy spent T H I R T E E N Y E A R S working on his perfect graphic novel. And what does he have to show for it? One graphic novel. It's a great video, check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BzCDVR-tr8

Came here to post this, I'm not trying to get to his level, but being able to efficiently put ideas down directly from ink to paper and no sketching is my goal, I also really appreciate his line economy and how dynamic his views in pictures are, so far using perspective to make a scene appear more dramatic is easiest. Line economy is fairly difficult as well mainly in drawing clothes, but I'm sure that will come when I can draw human forms in fewer lines first

that's where my secret plan comes in- do your bigger works, but start with the ones that're unpublishible for various reasons (fanworks/near-ripoffs that'd get you assblasted for copyright if you tried to sell them, etc). that was quality matters a lot less. also, i'm releasing it as a fake gay ARG thing with a metanarrative about anons recreating a lost anime, so style variation can be handwaved as "it's just a different anon drawing!" and anything I don't feel like drawing or can't get right I can just make complete shit and it's just "that one anon can't draw shit". so i can just blast through it and get some amount of experience with nothing of value lost.

1. I just randomly commented my input to that persons post
2. I literally just replied my take on what "making it" would mean to me. Agreeing with that person that "being able to finish a work of art" is something i rarely do because i get bored/lack determination.
3. You don't know me, nor have you seen any of my art. And no i won't post it to the obvious bait of you saying "well then show us! Im such an epic troller guys!"

Pretty straight forward

What this nigga acomplished. Self-published webcomic that became popular enough that he can live off of the subsequent merchandise that spawned from it. No bosses or editors to answer to, and no side jobs that you hate. Just being a free artist
