So, I decided to *cough*makemyowncomic*cough*. I started drawing this yesterday, I finished today. Many more pages to come, God will, but for now, only these. Forgive my crappy style. <.< Character Page, only a few characters present. More to come, maybe. I'm having trouble drawing Blaze. i512.photobucket.com/albums/t330/explorer2008_photo/Comic/CharacterPage.pngThe first page! Recognize the Pichu? If you don't, laugh ahead. <.< i512.photobucket.com/albums/t330/explorer2008_photo/Comic/FirstPage.pngAnd the second. Yeah, out of the two others, Rover was a pain in the arse to draw because of the face, horn position and ear angle. i512.photobucket.com/albums/t330/explorer2008_photo/Comic/Page2.jpgThats all for now. Crappy, I know, but what do you think? P.S. The logo for Gateway Island (G.I. on the badges) is a prototype.

Well all that matters is at least you tried. So don't worry if they look bad (personally I don't think it's that terrible). You'll get better as you doodle more.
P.S. Are you using paint to add dialog? If you use that select thing and you want to keep the background from the paper (although I'm sure you didn't want the background because the text would be easier to see with white behind it) select transparency right below the currently selected box.

Eheh, thanks.
Yup, I'm using Paint. And that's what I do, but the thing is, sometimes the box just doesn't fit right, and I can't use the transparency. So, I just remake the dialog box, but I always keep the background.
By the way, I've finished drawing another one (after two weeks of giving up on drawing a Blaziken and a Totodile (which came out pretty well, though. ._.))
I'll post it when I can.

Well, the only advice I can give is practice looking at something then draw it. I ussually keep the picture next to me so I can refer to it if I forget. I started off drawing really crappy images, but I was like five years old. Then I traced pictures, heard tracing wasn't really drawing, started looking at pics then drawing them, heard that wasn't really drawing, and then I started drawing my own pictures. I screw up quite a bit sometimes.

I screw up quite a bit sometimes. Yup. I'm pretty good at "pasting" from screen to hand what I see, but doing it on my own is much harder. So, I do one of my own based on another one, and then based my other ones on my own drawing. My biggest problem is only Nidorino's face, because toher than that, it goes smoothly.

Okay, I finally got a place to get my pages digitalized. The first one is a very poor comic intro. That's actually a model of the symbol I'm planning for Gateway. The second is another of my pages. It's somewhat better drawn, and I got ahold of drawing Rover sideways. At least to the left. And Bailey, hum, I'll try not to comment. <.<

Lol. That's cool. Well, you're batter artist than I am. But like Matt said, try looking at something and then draw it. That ghelps me. Or keep something next to you and draw at the same time. At leaset you get a visual, too.

Thanks for that! By the way, I got a new one. This one gets a little more storyline, so:
