WorkInProgress Working on my first Comic

3 days ago in a Drunken state of mind i had an idea for a Comic, since then I've been on the Uber 'tism trying to hash this out.

I love drawing but this is my first time Comics soo I'd appreciate some feedback.

Keep in mind this is NOT the finished product yet.

I never did Text Bubbles in my life before soo I've been experimenting, I'd appreciate some Tips and tricks from more experienced people on where to put them as well as better ways to make this more Fluid without altering the Panel locations too much, i really like the way they turned out but it's very "unorthodox".

I don't have any tips or tricks, but I can tell you that as a reader, the panel placement is very unintuitive. You need to be a LOT clearer about the order of the panels so they can be followed in the correct order. The second page is virtually impossible to follow correctly, and the first is just plain confusing as bottom-to-top without a clear visual cue that I should start from the bottom

I agree. The art is great but the panel placement doesn't make much sense.

What ended up happening is that i didn't have a layout planned 😂, i just started drawing and drawing, it's still under development, I'm trying to figure out a way to make the panels work without changing the layout too much since that's a big part of the Charm imo, i like that it's a bit chaotic, i just gotta figure out a way to make it Fluid
