So far I have gotten 4 requests from artists that want to draw my comic. I know that the art is umm... sub-par, but I don't know if I want another person working on my project. The last time I worked with an artist, they quit in the middle.

Really my question is, do you think I should raise the art quality when I may just have to lower quality later?

Oh yeah, you might want to look at what the quality is now. http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Seven_Shades_of_Grey/

Just practice and get good yourself. That way you can't bitch that someone bailed out on you.

I know, that's easier said than done. But practice does make perfect.

EDIT: Took a look at your stuff. You seem to have the basics down. Just keep going as is. You'll get better.

I agree just keep going by yourself.

the real question is "do you want to be an artist?" if so then draw, if not then feel free to do whatever.

Thanks guys. You are right. Eventually I have to get better.

Yeah, it seems like it's not gonna happen, but it does if you keep going. A regular comic is the best thing for art- it encourages you to keep going. I'm no great artist, but I've improved by miles since I first started seriously drawing. :)

In fact, here is one of the first drawings I did once I got Photoshop: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/Eviltwinpixie/Alice.jpg

And here's one of my best/latest: http://www.drunkduck.com/Grog/index.php?p=82888

So... improvement happens, essentially. ^_^

The thing about webcomickers is practically everybody is both artist and writer, and this is disproportionate because very few people excel at both. I, for instance, am cheifly a writer and draw my crappy looking stuff because I don't have the networking skills to find an artist, meanwhile there's a ton of comics with fantastic art and people who can't even manage half-decent grammar (though some talented writers have grammar and spelling issues, but they should find someone to proofread for them).

My point is, if you're looking to do the best damn comic period, just do the thing you're good at and find someone who's good at the other stuff to help. That's how the pros do it.

On the other hand, if you're also a sub-par writer, (I didn't read enough of your comic to tell), then do both and then you'll at least be able to say that you do all the work.

Your icon makes me dizzy. ^_^
