The Challenge of Making Comics

Leave a comment

~Blog by Avery of Sacred Visions Studio~

Making a comic is a full-time commitment. Creating just over 50 pages took me almost an entire year. Obviously, the amount of detail you put into your art matters, along with other elements such as whether you include color, whether it’s digitally or traditionally drawn, and the length and number of pages in the book.

Making Art No One Cares About (And Why You Should Make It Anyway)

Avery: I have been working very hard on a project of mine called Meditations of Superman. It’s a sci-fi narrative project that uses ambient music to create a soundscape that coincides with the narration as well as the illustration. It is a very unique project, one that has taken me quite a long time to create—almost 2 years or longer at this point. Of course, most of that time was spent procrastinating and not necessarily knowing what I was doing.
