Artistic - Listening to: The Overly Dramatic Truth by El-P
- Reading: Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud
Right now, I want to actually start with making a graphic novel. So far I have the art skills to sketch and ink. I even have a few ideas down for stories. The only major obstacle for me to overcome is to actually have the discipline to write.... and type. There's also having the knowledge about the relationships between writers/comic artists and publishers. I've had this history of having a hard time typing a story; whenever I try, I end up frozen because I get stuck with the story structure.
I've also been reading this book (which should be on the list) that's helping me out. So far, I'm doing the basics until I know I can go to a higher level. As for the writing, I'm going to have to make up my own "assignments" with typing up research papers, random stories and pitches to get my ideas flowing. Ugh... it sounds like a lot! Oh well, I don't really have a choice if I want to train. -_-
