Thanks for the compliment about us having guts to post it
I guess the negative comments don't bother me really because i'm a overly positive person well at least that what people say about me XD.
@TadxSarahComics I do admire your courage in putting yourself out there before you're ready; that said, I do want to give you a warning. Just getting in there and doing it is good
if you are focused on learning from your mistakes. In this case, your growth gets accelerated. A good example of this is
https://www.gunnerkrigg.com. Check out the art at the start compared to how it currently is.
The danger though, is that by starting before you are really ready you can react to criticism by digging in your heels and defending your work as if it is fine as it is, which then becomes a block to improving. You run the the risk of deluding yourself that your work is already good enough as is in order to protect your feelings and ego. A good example is Tyson's hair. It's not just that the hairstyle is bad, it's that the art is objectively bad. You can still give him a weird hairstyle while improving the art.
Fiction and drawing are hobbies for me too, and I'm
glad that I can see my faults; it means that I can see ahead to where I should be and plot out a path for how to get there. If I thought I was good enough as I am, I wouldn't be able to envision a way forward. I'd be stuck. I don't want that for me, or you.
Good luck to you both.
