draw a comic strip

For as long as I can remember, this has been something at the back of my mind in the ‘To Do Someday’ column.

This is my first attempt at drawing a comic strip

I just took myself off of the “want to do this” list. I drew a comic for my best friend for Christmas. She says it was her best gift ever. :)

I did this plenty of times for my ex-boyfriend.

Now…

I do it for myself.

Just go to http://www.mainada.net/comics/ press Draw a comic strip and there you go ;)

Enjoy it!

Everyone around me keeps telling me I have talent but I brush it off as them just trying to be nice. Recently, things have been happening, I don’t know, maybe it’s anger, annoyance, something about the world around me that has made me want to draw again, after a long period of doubting myself. I’ve certainly got enough material. I like the idea of doing things that are productive instead of wasting your time.

I used to make little comics when I was sitting around or for a present. I liked it because you don’t spend any money, but because it is your own work you don’t feel cheap either. The easiest way would be to get a free website (tons of hosters out there) and just do it online, through scanning drawings or drawing on the computer.

I always read comics. In 20 years I have bought more than 30 000 of those, mostly in english and french. I recently sold aboult two third of my collection for personal reasons. I would like to draw a comic strip because it would be a way for me to actually do something for me. My days are all busy with my job and kids, I never can find any personnal time. When some free time appears, I never can go through it. Doing it would be a great way to tell myself that I am not a worthless piece of couch potato.
