Episode 227 - Biggest webcomicing mistakes
Jul 13, 2015
Webcomicing is a learning process, you build on your knowledge and skills as you go, comics can take years to complete and your audience is usually pretty forgiving… Well learning is all about making mistakes and if you're like the people who contributed to this Quackcast, you make a hell of a lot of them! But hopefully you learn from them, or even better; learn from the mistakes of others. That's what this Quackcast was all about; sharing your biggest webcomicing mistakes. None of us are immune to them. They can be borne of hard to break bad habits, lack of experience or skill, or just plain stubbornness. If you make any that you'd like to tell us about, just share them in the comments bellow. I hope you'll enjoy the lovely Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy/Harry Potter-esque style musical theme for Wizarding Along The Way by Gunwallace!

LOL- I love the music it fits really well! Fantasy is a big theme for me, I promise a Unicorn in the Gryphon Sequel. =^,^= Thank you for making a theme song to Wizard Along the Way!!

ejb - you gave me an idea for a Thursday Newspost!

I definitely agree. Now to get from rational thought and understanding to practical act and execution.

I think part of the trouble with not starting is the old "afraid of failure" thing. So doing something rough and throwaway could be a useful way to get past that?

Getting over the whole 'not being able to start' thing can be tricky.

Thanks man! I learned from my mistakes and used the original black and white Hindenburg pic as reference to sketch it from :D
