For the artists in the chat: how did you guys find motivation to keep drawing even when you felt things looked terrible? I have a visual novel I've been wanting to write for years now but I don't have remotely enough skill to fully illustrate it. I'm pretty crap at drawing probably because I never feel like going about and doing it since it sometimes takes a while and I never end up with something I like. I know it'll take years to learn but any tips? Did u guys do like studies of specific things or did u just draw whatever?

Following my last comment, I did a search and found these:

  1. Making Comics (comics, manga and graphic novels) - Scott Mcloud
  2. Figure drawing for all it's worth - Loomis (lots of folks have found Loomis' books have helped them significantly)

Hope it helps!

(You have an aim; it makes a world of difference in actually getting good at something. Go for it)
