It’s time for a new challenge for this month, and I really want to shift gears and get into storytelling. One of my favorite ways is through worldbuilding, and I have a game I used to play with my students to help get the creative juices flowing for characters and worlds! Bring on the Dice Challenge! Watch the video to see how to use the dice for this exercise and feel free to use the same numbers I roll throughout this challenge, or roll for yourself!

Most comic artists are trying to learn from YouTube or art courses that teach you HOW to draw but never teach you how to FINISH and PUBLISH a complete story. The problem with this is you end up with scattered skills but no actual finished work. You learn panel composition one day, character design the next, but you never connect the dots into a complete comic issue. This leads to years of "learning" with nothing to show for it. No comic in your hands. No story pitched to publishers. Just endless tutorials and half-finished sketches collecting dust. After teaching at a private art college where students specifically requested MORE of my classes, and publishing multiple comic issues professionally, here's what I'd do instead. The 90-Day Comic System This is because it gives you the COMPLETE roadmap—from the ideas in your head to a finished issue you can hold, pitch to publishers, or launch on Kickstarter. Not just drawing skills. The full storytelling structure, accountability, and step-by-step process to actually FINISH. Which leads to published work, confidence to create more, and the skills to eventually get paid for your art. Now, comic artists, you can think about it like this… Are you trying to collect more art tips and stay stuck in tutorial limbo? Or are you trying to hold your first published comic issue in your hands?

For me it was too many ideas. I had a series of "moments" but not a story. And I also felt like it had to be perfect from the get go which kept me from even starting.
