I really wanna do art, actual time invested art, not just scribbles like before, to share, to vent, to not be ashamed of my feelings during my healing journey but im scared. I have only ever used art to get away from my thoughts (and its a wonderful tool to do so) i only once did abstract art where i channelled my anger and just finger painted but to actually do pieces where i allow my feelings to control how i draw to not be afraid of mistakes just sounds so imposing.
Reading memoircomics comics is what made me realize all this. He shares so fearlessly and i know this whole account is me just laying it bare but art feels more intimate to me than text bc its not clear, i wont be exactly be able to tell every single person who sees it what it is and im terrified of that. The thing is if i just say "i'll do them for myself and not share them" I will simply never do them lol. I already struggle to just create art normally without an external motivator. Maybe i can do some sketches and just share those, just minimal expecations. oke bye bye
Today marks 9-years of MyWingman, so let’s celebrate with the new ‘zine: “MyWingman Presents: “A Great Hang!” – featuring 40 Global artists!
Are you "a good hang"? Am I "a good hang"? I asked my favorite artists this question and this project is my attempt to capture "A Great Hang" on paper. I've long admired their work and it's an honor and a privilege that they've agreed to this project. They may not know each other IRL, but they're hanging out on paper!
It wasn't an easy thing for me to reach out and ask for submissions, but as Australian artist and zine contributor, @martybaptist, told me when I first started this project; "if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go with others".
$9 for 1 zine includes shipping. DM me for details... and thanks for your support!

Continuing work on Betrayal, this will be chapter 3, page 2. I normally start by putting all the text that needs to go in onto the page. I then think about what speach bubbles I want to be separate, and what I want to be in dialogue. I move these around, then I draw the layout (the panel boarders). I do try to make these a little different each time so that the actual pages aren't boring to look at. Then, I start drawing, panel by panel. For something like this, where it's two people talking, it's hard to keep it dynamic and entertaining, so I try to move bodies as much as possible, while keeping the conversation natural. Where that's not possible (as in when the characters are just sitting next to eachother as above), I try to move the line of sight, so that the reader sees the characters from different angles. Betrayal is a free webcomic about the slow decomposition of a friendship between three people who grow up together. The first two chapters are available on webtoons and webcomics hub, as well as on my website (link in bio). They are also available for download with bonus cover art for a dollar on patreon. All of those are linked to the support page of my website too. . . . #sequentialart #artsy #memoircomic #drawing #sketch #artwork #wip #sketchbook #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitaldrawing #comic #comicbook #graphicnovel #comicbookart #comicbookartist #makingcomics #illlustration #illustrator #cartoonist #drawinginprogress #diarycomic #graphicmemoir #comicartwork #draweveryday #artdaily #draw #indiegraphicnovel #indiecomic https://www.instagram.com/alex_makes_comics/p/BwUAioQnd8V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xz08s87e2hl3
