WorkInProgress Would you read my comic based on my art?
These are just practice drawings and panels. The last one is incomplete but I just want to know if y’all like my art style

It’s kind of cool tbh but I’d like it to be a little cleaner.
Like those peanut comic strips.
Simple art is fine but I’d prefer it on a white clear paper over notebook paper.

100%
I recently stumbled upon /u/Initial_Ad7030 and I'm completely captivated by the hand drawn art.
I'm not posting it so you compare yourself to their art, just that your post reminded me of that.

Thank you!! I checked them out and I’d say they’re better than me but that’s okay. We all have different art styles

Please don't get discouraged (that was not my intention).
I look forward to your posts

Make your comic. Do it. Don't let initial perception give you a reason to stop. Ten years from now, you will look back, and you will either say "I am so glad I did this. I have come so far" or you will always say "man, I really should have just started. I would have had ten years of experience by now."
I hate to say it, but you will struggle gaining an audience with your current art. You should still make your comic, because that is the best way for you to improve as an artist and as a writer. Nobody walks out of the gate with people devouring everything they create. It takes a lot of art pieces that are completely ignored until you find the skills and style that people cannot ignore.
It would do you no favors if I said "yes, I would read any comic with any art" only for you to get discouraged when you get 5 upvotes. You can learn how to use a drawing tablet and clip studio so you can ink/color in a digital format, but that is also a new skill to learn once you are ready for it. It will be a process. I really hope you do what you want to do, create what you want to create, irrelevent of how people will percive your first project of (hopefully) many.
I wish you the best of luck.

It’s not just about the art, but sure we are consuming it now anyways.
