Journal Entry #5 - My First Ever Comic

I've always been a fan of comics. Whether it's American comics, Japanese manga, or Korean Manhwa, I always find time to sit down and read as many chapters as I can. Due to my really tight schedule, I sometimes find myself not having time to download a TV series, anime or movie I've been wanting to watch. That's why if it has a graphic novel or comic equivalent, I won't hesitate to read through that instead. It's faster to read through a few chapters of manga, than watch a 20-25 minute or so episode that's actually tackles almost the same amount of content.

So I thought "why not try making one"? And so I did. This is just mini-version though. I want to practice my art and story making with these little comic strips. When I think I've already had enough experience and skill to draw a manga, with story arcs and all, that's when I'll officially start. But for me, this is an important step in achieving my goals as an artist.
