there is an important lesson to learn right now, in comics circles specifically: if you make yourself known to others chiefly through cruelty, if your main connection to broader community is through judgment and dismissal, then your legacy is cruelty, your ultimate fate is judgment and dismissal

Perfectionism has got to go.
Be raw. Be messy. Be human. That is what it means to art

Me: No solo cartoonist should be expected to draw comics with the same detail level and complexity as comics created by multi-person teams. We should accept less intensive methods and results more readily for them.
My brain: Except you tho
Me: Yeah, except me

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back
You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors.
allow yourself room to be abstract with details and give yourself some grace

Please talk about it on this thread! I would love to hear what stage you are at, what is working well, and what has proven more difficult than you thought.
Share a bit of art, if you can!
Sing your own praises, if you like!
