Strengths
- coloring
- easy to follow panel layouts
- plots
- fight scenes
- drama


Weaknesses
- art. I constantly screw up with anatomy, perspective, and lots of other things here and there. Yes I've improved on art but I just dont have the iron will motivation to push my skills to the moon. Otherwise I'd be drawing as good as these guys by now:

- pacing

- organization.

Weaknesses

Art -- I once gave a talk about comics to a class of 9 year-old's and at the end the teacher made everyone (including me) draw a comic page as an exercise. Mine was vote the worst in class, and deserved that title ... and the embarrassing thing was I'd actually tried.

Verbosity -- my initial drafts sometimes have too much talking, too many words, and need to be boiled down to the essentials.

Layouts -- I usually stick to a grid, or some variant, which can be boring.


Strengths

Writing -- the only reason I make Playmobil photo-comics is because it was the only way to get some comics completed. I'd prefer to just write and let others draw. Hmm ... should this be a weakness? I think I tell a decent story and have some good jokes/plots/ideas/dialogue. I think my characters, at least in my serious stuff, are well rounded.

Lettering -- it's computer done, but it's getting better all the time.

Stubbornness -- No matter what hurdles or criticisms I just keep going. Hmm, my strengths all sound like weaknesses ;-)

Productivity -- I make comics every day. It's an obsession, which may make it yet another weakness?
