First step to making a comic


At the moment I'm trying to start a comic project where I would collaborate with different artists . A book with different stories and art styles but keeping to a theme, like summer, so it isn't too random.

The only problem is that I have started on this idea for about 7 months now. Procrastination is a bad thing and very addictive. I also have trouble with the story, its very complicated and I need it to be compressed to a 10 page to be continued layout. Lately I have started back on it and decided if I finish my 10 page comic first then I will get everyone else to commit to their comic.

When I work on my comic, I should start with rough sketchs of the whole 10 pages so I know the layout and type placement before I start putting the effort into drawing it. Unfortunately I like drawing and I spend way too much time on the roughs then even if they don't make sense I dont want to change it. Awful habit but Im trying to stop it....
