Guh, I finished the script and the panel breakdown for my comic. Which means it’s ready to be DRAWN. Which erm. Means I need to pull my finger out my ass and find an artist to work with me. I’ve been avoiding rewriting my pitch for this reason. Lots of “Oh, I should draw it myself” guilt. I get so completely inpatient whenever I draw comics myself though! Case in point, my last “finished” comic:

It’s finished in the sense that, the dialogue is done and you can tell whats going on but there is still a bit of work to be done on it, and I really don’t want to finish it. But I’m learning that my problem isn’t laziness, but I just don’t enjoy the procedure of making a picture look perfect. I want to give the general idea of what it is, and then… get someone else to finish it for me. Someone who enjoys the process more than I do. And, really, they can redraw the thing entirely if they want to, as long as the credit for the idea comes back to me.

I wonder if there are any other scanner types who feel similar to me in this; that you’d rather just create a bunch of stuff and get someone else to finish it? I know the main reason I draw is because an idea for a story or character is stuck in my head, but if I could write it out and get someone else to portray it visually, I’d get them onboard in a heartbeat.

All I know is, I started drawing so I could express my ideas, but I often find I express myself much better in writing than in imagery…
