An aspiring manga comic or webcomic artist’s struggle – Lack of time

I wished I had 80 hours for a day.

Like many aspiring manga comic or webcomic artists, time is a factor that we all have to tackle.

As we still have our daily responsibilies and affairs to handle, such as studying or working our day job, we become distracted or even lose interest in practicising or drawing comics.

In a week, my university assignments take up 2 days(or more), my girlfriend takes up 1 day, 1 day for Japanese classes (I do have homework for it!), 1 day for church, 1 day to update my blogs, and 1 day for manga art lesson.

And this is not all; there are so many other things to learn besides manga art, such as web design for a webcomic site and more.

Basically, the whole week is packed with activities, and squeezing time to plan out my manga storyplot is near impossible. I only spend about 1 day a week to practice on manga art.

I guess many aspiring manga comic or webcomic artists are like me, needing to prioritize our responsibilities amongst striving to produce a great manga or comic.

Even right now as I am typing this sentence, I am at my friend’s house doing assignment, and have not a wink of sleep yet at 7am.

Inspiration is needed for all of us

I am sharing this for every aspiring manga comic or webcomic artist, and to everyone who is going towards their dream, that they are never alone.

I suffer from discouragement like anyone else; there are times I do feel that the vision is too far away and I get emotionally tired, and everything seems like an impossibility.

However, I do believe that this is what makes everything worthwhile.

Hence I am not stopping to write down my experiences and learning curves to become a manga webcomic artist; so that people who are in a similar journey may learn from this and can get to their dreams faster while avoiding my mistakes.

So take note, and if you are tired or drained, remember me.

“The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.” – Arthur C. Clarke
