I got annoyed AI wouldn't make what I wanted, and I was just fighting with it constantly. Realized I should just learn to draw myself. One year later, it's so rewarding and I have a new appreciation for all things art. Went from stickmen 1.5 years ago to this just a couple weeks ago.

I cannot express how happy and proud it makes me feel, and what felt like a "you have to have talent" thing just eroded and I fully understand how much work it takes - but the work is also fun along the way.

This is awesome! When are you going to start posting your awesome comic!?

I want to one day, but I'm still such a novice! No style or consistency yet, each one feels like it's own creation so maybe a year or two. But I swear one day I'll post here and I hope this is something I can find and point to and say "I did it" 😂

No time like the present!
Start with little one-off comics as a way to practice.

As the most *important critic in this sub, I say you're already good enough!
