I don't think there is really much to say about the drawing in these comics, it does look like it was scribbled out in mspaint without much thought or planning, but I think that's what you're going for with it.
Hrm.
agree
I like the first comic too, especially the second panel. I liked the second one too but the third one.. Nah
Don't know if it's possible to critique on the art
but in the last panel, that looks like a right hand that's bleeding instead of a left hand.
clearly his fingers hurt so bad that he switched, clearly
edit: never mind, it's obvious he was finger picking
and i like it

It's following a trend where the appearance of the comic suggests the art is intentionally bad, and that has become tiresome. Magic Toaster was asking a legitimate question, but I believe his intent was not fully defined.
I believe drawn out, MT meant to ask you this.
Are you aware that the art appears to be intentionally bad? Was this purposeful? Are you seeking critique on the art itself or more the content of the comic?
Frankly, when it comes to webcomics I find that a combination of good art to good dialogue is necessary. While it's occasionally fun to dip into bad art (ala sweet bro) following it would strain my interest over time.
That doesn't mean you can't convey simplistic art. I'm following Fletchers comic regularly now, but the art is simplistic while at the same time expressive and of great quality. That's what you should be aiming for.
my intent was to make it look like a person with talent put no effort into them whatsoever (Edit: this is not meant to be an excuse for my crappy art, it is literally the highest i could aim), and i was looking more for overall comic critiques, as well as simply to see if there is an audience for this stuff. i can't draw at all, and i've tried several times to get a comic going with someone who can, so i decided to just force myself to do a few of these silly little things a week and meanwhile try to hone my artistic abilities or find someone with whom to take on something more serious.
of course, i still want my comic to look as good as possible, so if you don't mind my asking what specific aspects of the art do you find unbearable to the point where you could not enjoy the writing?
edit: comic is different now!
interest does not seem especially high so i think will just let this thread die. if anyone would to continue reading i'll be updating the site daily.
You've made me laugh twice on one page which is no mean feat, I'm kind of surly and angry at the world.
thanks! improving my art is essentially why i'm doing this thing. it's strange, i think my brain has leveled up or something because i'm finding art to be a lot easier than it was when i tried to start a comic a few years ago, despite that i haven't drawn more than a doodle since.
do you ever sit and practice drawing things not in your webcomic with an intent on improving?
New comics and important anouncments on Twitter!
not since i was in middle school, but i've been carrying around a sketch pad and drawing when i have the time the past few days.
i loves the mspaint
edit actually i don't even use mspaint i use paintbrush because i'm on a mac
it's slightly better but in some ways worse
edit: so i lied, only the shitty panels were for you guys
double edit: i don't want to triple bump my own thread soo, new comic if annyoonee caaarees
This. In my opinion drawing daily is a must!
If you want these fine folks to help you shape your art abilities, your best bet might be to post some things you've done outside of MS Paint so they can better gauge where you're at.
I hope you do, too, because your funnies be passably funny, and that's a harder problem to fix, generally, than tightening up the graphics.

yeah okay! same thread, same place.
