Currently working on illustration personal projects, feel like my line work and art in general needs abit more of my personality in it before I enter another long project

Re: Let's Support Each other - Here and any other platforms.
Hi. I'm Jackson. My books are "Phantoms of the Lake" and "FOUR.FIVER.ONE". Would like to help pther creators too. I have began to realize how much hard work it is just to promote and find one's audience.

Re: reddit community supplier
I had a second read through of this thread and I'm really glad I did. Thanks again @mousylou

The first community in the fantasy list has changed to imaginary lovers, don't know if it's suitable anymore for comics

@tripp Thanks so much for these communities as well.

Now off to reddit engagements

Re: reddit community supplier
Thanks so much for this. Good to know I was on the right track just needed a few more pointers. Certainly helps especially when working alone. Bookmarked and saved.

Re: A little talk about good mental health.
I like to remember a few things I've learnt ;

1. Thoughts shape your life : So I find something that brings me joy. Whether it's comedy or playing my video game. And I process said thoughts.
2. I remember a philosophy of life ; Where there is a will, there is a way.
3. Toph's quote when teaching Aang earthbending ; "You gotta face it head on".

About #3, for me I realized the moment I put a face on the problem, I can face it head on. Like the fear disappears, even when it is a challenging problem.

Re: My current difficulties in making comics
All the advice you need is here @goodbye, @cmc and @ArtCrumbs have said everything. The 2 things I can add is ; First, discipline/consistency. Set a deadline for each stage. Once you finish with the stage move forward. Secondly, Finish 1 page completely to see where the book is going, realize a small part of the vision to show you where you are going. I made my 2nd book, a graphic novel, while working. Sometimes I couldn't work on it for a week or two, sometimes 3. But I kept going.
