Hello (Help with Worldbuilding Sketches)
Hi everyone! My name is Terence and I'm an artist trying to start up a big project. I have some experience with self publishing a coloring book, but I still have a lot to learn about being a creative. I've loved drawing since I was a kid and want to keep creating alongside good people. It's been a dream of mine to start and maintain my own art business involving my current project. Here are some of the sketches I have for the project so far. It's subject to change, but I think I have a solid foundation for the world and ideas for what I want to make. I would love to chat, talk more about this project, and take in any feedback from the community. Thank you and enjoy!

Q&A Post: How to Get into Comic Book Stores!
Introoooo yo
Hello comic people. My name is Cara. Not sure if I’m in the right space, but I have been playing around with drawing after a 20 year hiatus haah! I have a passion for skateboarding and most of my drawings have been Inspired from that. I have been drawing funny comics of my real life situations lately it’s super fun. Hoping to learn more here about how comics become actually legit and maybe learn how to make a sale one day?! Who knows either way I love doing it:) Here is part of the comic I’m working on. I fell so hard on my skateboard 2 months ago I’m still injured from that fall so I’m making a comic of it!! I hand draw-just pencil and pencil crayon because that’s all I know how to do. The iPad confuses me 😂 👵🏼 (37 years old) Not sure how to use this group yet so I apologize if this post is out of whack I’m just trying to stop overthinking and post more! Thanks for reading!
