06/15/2019: Right now, I have progressed pretty far in drawing the comics. I have about 10 pages done and should have the rest finished by next Friday for the alpha pages. Then maybe a week in coloring and I will have the next issue out by the 30th of June. If I keep a 2 or 3-page plan a day, then progress with be swift.
Getting Digital
06/01/2019: I love this progress. I redrew a previous character for digital, and I think that it came out better than the other designs. Of course, there is no point in stopping. The goal is to get to a comic book level that is professional, but still in my style. I do want to get to a realistic drawing style and practice the other comic book styles.
Those are for later. Right now, time to finish the first 100.
Level Up!
05/25/2019: The skills have grown and the art is better. Since I’ve reached the 40s in my drawing quest of practice, I will try to go for digital drawing now and improve there. It is still faster and takes less material, but I will see where things go. More in the future.
Black and White Art
05/18/2019: Right now, I am practicing more on drawing in black and white. One of the coolest manga artists for the series Berserk often doesn't need gray shading but, can show some of the greatest detail. Even light or fluids can be displayed in such a way that you understand what is happening. For now, I will continue to work on my art. Soon, I will have the next comic out maybe by mid-June. That is the plan at least.
Movies! All of Them
05/11/2019: There are a lot of movies I want to see. I saw Detective Pikachu and loved it. It's no Oscar movie, but it is for the fans. Between that movie, Endgame and John Wick coming out next Friday, this turning out to be a terrific year for movies. All I want to say thank you world. Other than that. I am shooting for the tenth of next month for Initiation Trials Pt. 4, and I am outlining the story now. I do not want to wait on this. I have goals to reach that are small but manageable. Without taking up too much time, but we will see what happens. It's most important to improve on the art before getting to the main series. That's all for now. Adios.

On The Ball
05/05/2019: Oh, I have made it now. I was able to get another video done, and I need just another day to get the comic out. I put some more practice into drawing the figures so now I will make some of the pictures better. The difficulty was only in the proportions, and I was able to fix that somewhat. Hands are still annoying, but I will make do. Hoping the next comic will look a lot better.
Comics Over the Horizon
04/28/2019: Finally, I am nearly done with the comic. The next issue on Initiation Trials is to get both my skills and color practice together. I have gotten a lot of my work done. I need to get one page a day done whether sketch or inked and colored, and I would be able to get to complete at least one a month or more. This is what I would like to do so I can complete my work at a steady pace instead of creating more problems for myself with other distractions. So maybe one more week and I will have this next issue out. Things are looking good right now, but it is time to go even further.
I Got Better
04/20/2019: I am much more comfortable drawing now as I’ve created more art work at a faster rate. I have made several colored art pieces this week without having to give up too much time. With that said, I am looking forward to completing more of my work. My next comic issue Initiation Trials should be out by May 1st and I am mad at myself for not having it done earlier. I am on page 5 currently which is almost half way. I should make it soon. Depending on my speed, I should make one page a day and one comic a month. That’s just another goal to work on. Wish me luck.

Faster Artwork
04/07/2019: I have gotten faster in my artwork and have a better grasp of drawing my lines. This is perfect for the next few steps in the future. Things are jumping off smoothly as my skills grow. I am currently trying to follow an artist named Xa-xa-xa (on DeviantArt) to improve my body portions on my characters since they have a similar style to mine. I am also following another artist on youtube called the TheJettyJet Show to learn more about art and clip studio paint. I love the work these artists do, and they aren’t the only ones that teach but are great to leads for growth.
Working More
03/30/2019: Well this is embarrassing. I forgot to post something after the video. I finished a video detailing my long over due thoughts on Hollow Knight. Play it. Either way, made some fan art and will be working on some character designs as I knock out these stories. That is the plan so far.
