Original comics character creation - I've re-branded her a bit, and hope that now I will finally stick to this idea:) (Whole story inside, plus some useful tips and, as usual, the process of creation:)

<html>
<p>Hi, guys!:)</p>
<p>Today I'd love to share my story connected with comic strips creation. It will be a pretty long post, so... Let's get right to the topic:) I will start from the end, cause I need some nice "final result" picture to appear on the preview, so, this girl on the right is how my comic OS now looks like:</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-frt3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/22196308_517713351901164_4505194681482240078_n.jpg?oh=f6dd83888dad9cd99411167d58da2c54&amp;oe=5A3C02EB" width="960" height="720"/></p>
<p>An idea to create my own comic strips lives with me for years. When I first decided to create them I made about 10-15 strips, then stopped. It was the time when I yet couldn't draw so well as I can now, so I got more upset then happy about how they looked. But anyway I will show you my first attempts in this post (showed them before, but time passed, steemit grows, so if you already saw them - just skip:)</p>
<p>The main idea was to create comic strips about me, my life, funny situations in it, and of course my god. My thoughts about the world, happiness and sorrows - everything. Here are some examples:</p>

<p>So, that's pretty much real me. But I couldn't make creating strips convenient for myself, the most hard part was to make them fit the frames. So I started me research about how to make them easier to create. I know I express my thoughts here really badly, so I'll try again:)</p>
<p>My problems were:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
  <li>1. I tried to follow classic anatomy. And it took a lot of time, plus it wasn't what I actually wanted.</li>
  <li>2. Because of the paragraph one I experiences difficulties with fitting frames, when I wanted to make full hight character.</li>
  <li>3. I was way more bad at drawing in general. So creating strips regularly took too much time.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<p>I wanted to know how can I solve all this, so I started seeking for the advice from y favorite comic strips creators. And found the answer on skillshare site, two courses by Sarah Andersen were there:) <a href="https://www.skillshare.com/profile/Sarah-Andersen/7881013">You can find them following this link if interested.</a></p>
<p>Here I want to show a few pages from two paper editions by Sarah:</p>

<p>How awesome she is? Nah, don't answer, I know she's brilliant:)</p>
<p>So, yesterday , as I said<a href="https://steemit.com/psychology/@inber/back-to-black"> in this post</a>, I fell in depression phase again. (P.S. BIG THANK YOU to @reddust, @karenb54 ans @silviabeneforti who were the only ones who didn't &nbsp;attack me with "watch some YouTube cats" advises). During my sleepless night I've been thinking about how I may actually transfigure these feelings to art, cause it seems to me that writing is not the best option for me?</p>
<p>This is how I thought about comic strips again. And this is how I started to think about how I can transform my character to make it fit me better. So this new version appeared, and I'm sharing the process as usual.</p>
<p>This one I made with copic markers, I'm still not very comfortable with using computer after eyes surgery, but when I'll be OK with it - I'll redo it in digital, and all the comics will be digital.</p>

<p>I noted all super-important features I want her to have. Well, blue hair and green gumshoes are the most important in fact. I think even if I'll be making black and white strips - I'll still be coloring these two things.</p>
<p>Thank you for watching:) See you in the first updated strip soon!:)</p>

I think many of us can relate to Sarah Anderson comic strips. Depression is always a hard period; when I'm feeling down I always try to think things will get better. I try to think about previous times I was feeling down and everything worked out in the end.
Good luck with the comic strips!  Your characters look cute.

P.S. Or many that can relate like her comics. Or all artists have the same set of troubles sometimes:)
