Not sure if this will count for Goldenboy but if it does, consider me entered, have set myself a "24pages of comic in the month of august" challenge.
Things I have learnt thus far.
1/ I'm having to draw all the things I struggle with most!
2/ Having the dialogue written already rather than vague "they say something like this" would possibly make life easier.
3/ Make your pencil work clear - and think about what you are doing when you ink, or you end up with mistakes!
4/ You CAN NOT tone over white out with graphite and have it unnoticeable - don't even try, if the panel is that screwed up, you'd be better cutting it out and replacing it.
4/ Full on computer text and drawn on speech bubbles look gross if you are working traditionally, I'm going to have to go back once the pages are all done and create a handwriting font and some sort of template for the dialogue.
5/ If I was seriously going to get into regular updated webcomic stuff, I would /totally/ do what one youtuber does, and spend 4 months solid writing and drawing a years worth of pages, and then start releasing them, rather than trying to get them done on the day, that would lead to madness for me, I'm not enjoying the deadline I've set myself, but it does mean the pages are getting done!
