Hello, thank you for your question. I never published a comic, so I can't really answer that question. However, what I can say, is that I'm not doing this for the money. Nor do I think most artists do. Start with the skills you have and slowly work up to the level you'd like to be on. Hope this helps :)

Oh, it's from Amazon, Light Pad A3 size from Artdot. It just came with the stand, but it's unstable in that position. I use it like that only for initial panel lines. Unfortunately, I do the rest bent over the desk like a gremlin. 😅

@@kath2142 Thank you for your question :) I struggle with pressing down hard while drawing which is why I tend to do my sketches in photo blue pencil, as I can still go over my messy lines with a darker pencil to define the exact lines I want to use if needed. How is your thumb nailing process coming along? What does your process look like? ☺️

Thx! That's a great idea to begin with the lighter color. My thumbnails are quite messy right now because I'm thinking and revising ideas as I sketch. I think my first "thumbnails" are more like rough draft thumbnails 😅 that I will turn into official thumbnails. It's a long process! :))

@@kath2142 I understand the important part is that the process works for you. :) I go through several steps before the final drawing as well. Thumbnails are a rough concept, and then I redraw everything on the A3 papers, where I sometimes refine the sketch further before going in with the ink. What is your comic about? I'd love to hear more :)

Thank you for your encouraging words. I'm glad to hear you found the video soothing :) I think the sound belongs to summer cicadas, during warm summer days. They can get really loud, but remind me of my childhood.

Uh apologies 😅 It’s an organised mess I promise.

that's most artist 😂

Hehe thanks :) Perks of having a passion project 😅

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you like my channel. I'm still not where I would like to be with my skills, but I'm slowly improving. :) Are you making a comic of your own?

Thank you for your kind words. I was just visiting your channel, your comic looks really cool! I'll have to check it out. :)

Thank you for your encouraging words! Indeed, AI is now integrated in so many things, but it's actually wrong to call it intelligence in the first place. So much of the surrounding semantics creates a discord that does not reflect the reality of what it actually is and does. However, much like you, I found my inner clarity on why I do the things I do. :) I wish you a lot of success in your creative endeavours as well! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me!

Thank you for watching my video! :) It's always exiting to meet other fellow writers / illustrators! I think a superhero story fits the comic gerne perfectly! Feel free to share more about it if you'd like. Why did you decide to publish it traditionally?

@@inkmatcha No worries! I love discovering new writers and artists on UA-cam and I love your channel! Yeah I've been writing my superhero series since I was 12 haha. I'm 30 now. I polished up the first book last year and started querying agents last summer. But I'm contemplating rewriting it as a comic book or perhaps self-publishing it. But I'm really leaning towards making it a comic because I've always loved drawing and writing comics.

@@redheadpinupreader Oh, thank you very much :) We are quite similar. I also started when I was a kid and I’ll be turning 30 soon. I took a look at your insta profile, your work looks wonderful. The characters are charming and full of life. If you ask my humble opinion you should totally go for it :) Make it into a comic. I’d love to follow your journey!

Thank you! I'm glad you found them helpful. Also, thank you for sharing your experience. Do you mind elaborating on the ways in which you find the information process from your surroundings impacts you? :)

@@inkmatcha Sure no problems. I identify as an INTJ in the Myers-Briggs type system and as such have found this link useful.

I just took a look at your work, it's wonderful :) Really love your style. I used to work in pain tool sai, when I was younger. It's quite challenging with what is happening in the industry, but I hope you feel better now. Burnout can be a tricky thing, especially when it lasts for longer periods.

Thank you for pointing it out. The list is on the way. :)

I'm glad to hear you liked some of them :)

She has her connection with that, it can be good book for someone who needs that knowledge. Good part of her recommendations is that she is genuine

What a lovely comment! :) I can't wait to do Nanowrimo with you too!

Thank you for your support :)

Oh wow, thank you so much! I appreciate the support! :) I used to participate in Nano uncompetitively, and to be honest, what matters is writing. Your novel sounds like the perfect one to be working on this fall. Please feel free to share your progress along the way. I'd be very happy to follow your journey. Good luck 🍀

Thank you :)

5 books which had an impact on my life :- 1) Mark Rowlands - The Philosopher and the Wolf. In this memoir, philosopher Mark Rowlands compares the attitude of the ape with that of the wolf. The ape is calculating and scheming, whereas the wolf appreciates the intrinsic value in life. The theme of the book is about learning to appreciate the intrinsic value of things. 2) Mark Rowlands (again) - Running with the Pack. Similar in theme to the previous book. This one focusses on the intrinsic value of simply running. 3) J.D. Salinger - The Catcher in the Rye. A strange choice; but this book had a big impact on me when I read it as a 19 year old. The author expressed a lot of the cynicism I felt as a teenager but was somehow unable to put into words. 4) Ajahn Brahm - Who ordered this Truckload of Dung? Written by a Buddhist Monk, this book comprises of lots of short stories about life (most about two pages long). Each of the stories has a moral or a kind of lesson. I was surprised at how much the lessons aligned with what I had read about cognitive psychology. Took a long time for the penny to drop on some of these stories. I understood them on a superficial level, but they took a long time to sink in. 5) Victor Frankl - Man's Search for Meaning - I have read this book a number of times; the last was a number of years ago. It's split into two sections. The first is about his experience in nazi concentration camps; I believe he spent time in four different camps. The second part is about logotherapy, the kind of therapy he developed. I find the first part of the book far superior; the second part never really landed with me. What I took from the book was how to find value and meaning in everyday life, and everyday things no matter how impoverished our situation may be. Thank you for posting this video and encouraging me to think about some of the books that have had an impact on my life.

Thank you for your feedback and support :) I'm thrilled to hear you liked the video!

5th time? That is impressive. Do you have any tips to share? Thank you for your encouragement :)

​@@inkmatcha I guess I like the challenge? Lol. Here's a few things that worked well for me. 1) Writing early in the morning before I go to my day job. Often I managed to get very close to the daily word count goal before even getting out of bed. This set me up for success each day and removed the anxious feeling that would grow at work as I thought about everything I needed to complete in the evening. 2) Getting ahead early on. There are always things that come up later in the month that prevent me from writing on a few days and getting ahead early alleviated the stress that comes from falling behind. 3) Sharing with my partner and step kids because they would check in with me each day and it was fun to tell them how far I'd gotten. 4) Having multiple POV's to write from (if possible). Sometimes I would totally blank on what was happening with one character, so I'd just switch to a different POV and storyline for a while. This was easy enough for mine because I'm writing a fantasy series with multiple main characters. Not always possible but very helpful for this kind of quick drafting! Good luck! You got this!

@@authorkyliemacdougall Thank you so much! These are useful! I'm also working on a fantasy novel, but I have this pet peeve, where I want to keep the chronological order of my chapters! 😅 I'm looking forward to hearing more about your project! :)

Oh, how exciting :) I'd be happy to follow your journey along.

@@inkmatcha Please do!

Thank you! I have a whole month now to mentally prepare for Nano :) What project will you be working on?

Im doing nano as a 4th year med student and I have never once won nano (but I hope this is the year!!)

@@nikkilpzs Thank you, Nikki, for your feedback! I'm sure this time you will break the cycle! :) Although, in the end, it's not really important that we win Nano, but that we get back into the habit of daily writing. Even little progress is still progress. You should be proud of yourself.

Thank you, Heather! What will you be working on this nano? :)

Thank you, morganeua! I'm happy to hear these tips added some value. It is always exciting to find new people who will share their journey. I'm looking forward to seeing your process as well. What will you be working on this nano? :)
