My brain keeps seeing the blue guy's nose as his mouth, it's very distracting

[–] nieceandtows@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

That's because it's his mouth. The rest are his chins.

Wait...the blue guy has a nose?

Pretty sure it is, and the other line is a chin. See green talking in the first panel.

The key thing is practice. Like any creative pursuit, your first attempts will be trash. The greatest writers, artists and musicians ever went through this too. If you care about that form of creative expression, just keep at it!

We all started with scribbles, some people proceeded to stick figures. Some kept going further than that, the mad bastards.

Honestly yeah. It's kinda a snowball effect. Once you learn how to do it then it becomes easier to learn from watching others.

It's like trying to learn how to program by reading someone else's code, but without even knowing what a variable or a function is first.
