If your dream is to make your own comics/webcomics it can be hard not to get overwhelmed at first. A comic project is often a lengthy process and many artists work on them for years.

How do you even know where to start? What comic is best to start out with? How do you know you will be able to keep working on such a large project for so long? And how do I do this, in a practical sense?

These questions might have been swimming in your head for a while. I know they did for me when I started working on my own webcomic.

In this class, we will take these vague questions and turn them into practical goals and actions. By the end of the last lesson you will have a full action plan for your large comic project. And you can start creating your comic immediately.

What you will learn in this class:

How to set big creative goals
How to choose a specific comic project that serves that goal
How to work towards milestones in your comic journey
How to know what to work on next and how to work on your comic regularly.
How not to work based on how motivated you feel in the moment
How to get rid of distraction and procrastination
How to keep a long project fun
How to celebrate your progress

Why should you take this class:

This Action Plan will help you set up for success when you start creating your comic. Not only will it give you clarity on what you need to do and help you stay focused and productive, but you will also know techniques that you can apply when you run into obstacles in your progress.

Who is this class for:

This class is for every comic artist. You can use this class to come up with a comic project that fits your goals. But this class is also ideal for artists who already have an idea for a comic project, or even more than one project. It will help you get laser-focused on your goals for this comic and figure out what you want this comic to be like. And it will teach you what you need to have in place to work on this comic on a regular basis. Lastly, if you're working on a comic but you can use some help on the productivity side of things, this class is also for you.

What do you need:

You'll need your favorite writing tool. This can be pen and paper or you can create your plan on a computer or in your favorite writing app. For this class project you will be creating your Comic Action Plan alongside the lessons.

Who am I?

Hi, my name is Henrike. I always made little fun comics as a kid. But when I wanted to get "serious" and start a webcomic of my own I knew I needed more info. So I studied everything I could about art and comics, writing and productivity, and here we are, today. I make my own webcomic called Recollection City. And I teach about how to make your own comics on Youtube, social media and my website.
