(🖌️ ) Ok my turn All that waffle said is very cool and important and i advise you to follow their advice since he tends to be a hell lot more profesional than I am and actually studies stuff My method tends to be a more "fuck around find out" type aproach. When it comes to comics, stories, characters, etc, usually i get randomly bombarded with ideas and work things out as I go. However, it is important to know a general outline of start-middle-end Something that helps me is to identify the themes. Figure out what you want to tell with your story, whats the message. From there, figuring out the plot is finding diferent ways of exploring that theme. A lot of my work is exploration of themes, concepts and ideas from different POVs Another thing is that you dont need a main story/plot. Sure, thats good and fun, but so is making art for the fun of it! It depends exactly what youre doing, an AU, an original story, an iteration, and how seriously you wanna take it, but you can just experiment and have fun and worry about that sorta thing later. Thats what I've done with several original characters of mine; make comics and concept art and figure out the story as I explore the characters through the art. It doesnt have to be a linear process (creative projects usually arent in my experience) (🧇) The most important thing is to have fun! Especially in a passion project!
