I've been working on a comic for a while off and on. I've only made 6 pages but for me its a personal record. I want to make the comic 100+ pages. but how can I stay motivated?
Pre-production is the most important part. When my friend and I made comics growing up they never got over 20-25 pages before we'd get fed up and start a new one, or re start that one.
Generally the real problem was that neither of us were writers or even remotely interested in writing, our stories were awful (to say the least.)
The most important thing is to have a good solid story. One that has a beginning middle and end, Something that really appeals to you. Then you need to spend 5 times longer on character designs then you feel you need to. If you like a character, that's cool, however if you LOVE your characters you'll want to see it through even more.
Once I like a character design, I'll take that image and tack it to the wall in front of me, then I'll play with it more. Exaggerate the things I like, and fix the little things I don't like. It's not until I am happy with every button and lace that I stop.
Then each character has to work with the next, so if I have 4-5 characters I'll line them up, if one's not working I'll start that one again from scratch or matnipulate what I have done already.
The same thing goes for backgrounds and props. They are every bit as important as your characters.
Once everything has been designed you put it all together in what artists call their bible. you can refer back to it to make sure all your characters stay the same, locations stay the same ect…
Once you have that done it's a strait run. you will be able to draw everything quicker because you've done it before, you know where the story is going so you never have to stop and thing what will happen next.
Coffee works well at this stage, it helps churn out pages.
Always work rough first, then you can go back and clean things later.
An easy way to ink your work is to take your clean pencil work and photocopy it on light. just dark enough so you can see your lines. Then go over it with your ink.
Or just do it in photoshop, that's easier still.
We have a school musical audition in a couple weeks. I’m unsure of what the musical is. I’m good at acting, not as confident about my singing. I know I’m not a soprano, but I can keep a note. I would like a song that could show of my acting abilities, and that i can keep a tune. Preferably a comedy song as I can work more with this. Any ideas?
A good song for this, in my humble opinion, is “Popular” from Wicked. If you can make your voice sweet and really overdo it, it could be a really great audition song. I suggest listening to Kristen Chenoweth’s rendition for some techniques to add to your own performance. The only thing is that it’s in the high alto-low soprano range.
If it’s not in your range or not your style, try “Adelaide’s Lament” from Guys and Dolls. I heard someone sing it for an audition ten years ago, and it’s stuck with me all this time. It’s definitely a song in which you can alternate between singing and speech, and there’s plenty of opportunity for showcasing your acting talents in it.
I hope one of these helps you! Break a leg on your audition!

I have a comic I'm making and I want it to get noticed. Maybe on a local newspaper or a magazine. How can I accomplish this?
Submit it to your local community newspaper, but don't expect thousands of dolalrs in payment (newspaper editors are notorious for being stingy!). Your chances of getting published are good, and once you've had a run in having your work published, you can approach larger publishing firms with the prospect of syndication, or a compilation of your work in book form.
