Little lion guy I made today! I dunno why but He gave space vibes so I decided to make the background in space lol.

HEY EVERYONE, the moment has finally come to reveal to you all my brand new, traditionally drawn comic

"Robin To The Wild"!!!!!! It took FOREVER but all that hard work finally paid off! My inspiration behind making this comic in particular was the idea of getting away from drawing on an iPad and make something more "real" (like on paper and with real ink esc)

Then the idea of a cat working at a job and yearning for a more natural way of life came about. Find where you belong and learn to love yourself kinda thing. Also my love for my own two cats Marcy and Gerri fueled my motivation :3 A lot of the writing came out super naturally, as in things just kinda feel into place.

For example the cruise part was inspired by the fact me and my sister are actually going on one this summer!!!!

start now. now. now now now. or else you'll never draw this damn thing

it's fine if you don't have the entire story figured out yet, it'll happen naturally

draw what you want to draw!! webcomics often run for years, so you better work with something you like

don't overcomplicate things. a simple, efficient work flow is your top priority in order to stay consistent

bullshit some things. trace background refs. reuse poses. draw your character's face from different angles and just copy paste it in to save time. be smart about your work baby

take breaks if needed. webcomic burnout is real

sometimes, a panel or a page looks bad. shit happens. move on

lettering is actually really important and super hard to pull off

it's your comic. do what you want forever!!!

I'm begging you again to work smart, not hard. reuse backgrounds. use brush sets for webcomic artists. trace 3D objects. use 3D models to pose your characters

you may need hours or days to draw one panel, but people will look at it for 5-8 seconds. keep that in mind

a simple background is better than no background at all (avoiding the white void increases the quality of your work by a ton!)

sometimes the anatomy needs to be a little off to make an interesting shot/panel. that's fine, don't worry about it too much

at least 2000px canvas and 300 dpi for good quality results
