Hope you're doing well. Love every single piece you've drawn and that's not an exaggeration. It's all outstanding! Hope you're doing well wherever you are!

If you still like MLP, what about Sunny, Zipp, Pipp, Izzy and Hitch?

Hey there, I stumbled across your comic and while I'm not yet caught up, I'm really enjoying it so far. I've been thinking for a while now about making my own Next Gen comic, but I can't figure out how to get it from head to screen. I can't seem to draw the panels or scenes the way they look in my head. Do you have any advice?

Oh gosh, apologies for the late reply! I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Comic-making is not an easy task, as you're telling a story predominantly visually. There are so many things you can play with, the colors, the lighting, the style, the composition of the panels, etc etc in order to tell your story. For FG, I keep things super simple just to keep the project easier on me, but any comic you create has one simple rule: show the story.


I'm not exactly sure if this is helpful, but my process is first right a dialogue script, and then I act out scenes as I draw them in order to "feel" what I'm drawing, be that character movements or expressions. If not that, then I go in with a vague idea of what I want the character to be doing with each piece of dialogue I write, and from there, I let things flow as each element is added to the panel. Sometimes things end up close to what I had in mind, and other times, it's very, very different. It's important to stay loose I think.


Additionally, studying how your favorite comics look will help you develop your own style. Read a lot of comics, and read a variety. There are some great books on comic-making by Scott McCloud that have helped me a TON. They aren't hard fast rules of course, because comic-making is freeform like that, but he has a lot of great advice.

A script, of course. I kept pushing the idea of a script aside because I was worried I'd just turn it into a fanfiction (which I'm also trying, and it is just not flowing). But it does make sense to have a script. I'll check out those books you recommended.

If I manage to make progress, would you be interested in giving it a look and giving me some feedback?

(Also, on the subject of FG, I absolutely love Indigo. I love that he's clearly a good guy at heart, but with enough flexibility to possibly end up on a side he doesn't agree with.)

Hey! Happy New Year!
