I'm in my 30s and only ever started to draw when I was in college... honestly, I feel like I've been just wasting time?? Like, I should have made that comic I wanted to for a long time. But I never got to do it... idk 😭 wondering if I should start now or never. - ThreadSky

I didn't make my first comic until 30! it's never too late!! if jumping headfirst into making a comic seems like too much, try doing what I did and spend a year just planning the comic first. set a deadline tho otherwise you might get stuck in worldbuilding limbo 😂

Thank you for the comment. It honestly makes me feel better knowing that I'm not the only one struggling. 😭 I'd keep this in mind when I start planning things out.

DO IT NOW!! That’s what’s I’m (slowly) planning on doing!! I’m also in my 30s and I’ve been drawing since I was like… 7 LOL it’s never too late to do it 😤💕💕💕 I still feel so behind compared to my peers but.. I wanna make the thing… so gosh darn it I’m gonna do it 💪

ichigoshell.bsky.social•16 days ago

I hope you achieve it!! ❤️❤️❤️💪 I'm just overwhelmed by this point and not even sure where to start anything. I did drew when I was a kid, on paper and pencil. But I was starting to take it seriously when I was in college. Maybe it's just me thinking I'm too old, lol... 😅

It’s still really overwhelming, but I believe in us!! We are still young, so we can do whatever we want. 💕💕

DO IT DO IT DO IT! There's no perfect time to do anything, really, but better to get the idea out and share it somewhere forever than have it sit in your head and never come to fruition. You cant regret something you've tried once

ichigoshell.bsky.social•16 days ago

Hopefully, soon I will! 😭😭 I have a story planned and everything, but I am just not sure where to start. I just need a good kick start.

thepoetjean.bsky.social•16 days ago

I believe in you!

Ahhh thank you! I'd definitely read it 😭❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much for the help.

30s is still young, even if it doesn't feel like it, you still have time to do the things you want to

ichigoshell.bsky.social•16 days ago

I just feel overwhelmed not only by drawing but also by being an older person in a younger group 😅 I was going to draw the things I wanted to, but I also kept pushing it back, too.

allegrezza.bsky.social•16 days ago

I'm in the same boat, and to be so real with you, everything you've learnt or day you've experienced is just more things to grace your comic with <3

Take it slow, take your time, this is your story and you will tell it when you're ready, the way you want it to

ichigoshell.bsky.social•16 days ago

I think I'm just feeling overwhelmed cause I've been pushing this back for a long time, but I never got to really put into it, and now I feel like it's too late?? Idk might be just me... hopefully, I could do it one day.

allegrezza.bsky.social•16 days ago

I guess the best thing if you wanted to attempt it is with something non-committal and fluid, so maybe just do thumbs and see where it takes you. You can always change it then

Hope I'm not overstepping any boundaries. As a fellow comic-artist, I empathize

ichigoshell.bsky.social•16 days ago

Oh, no! You're totally fine. Thank you for the comments!! I've just been in a depression mode lately, and now that my bday is coming soon in July, I'm just looking back on what I did. I want to start that comic I wanted to for a while, but my brain is all over the place at the moment.

allegrezza.bsky.social•16 days ago

Well if ever you wanna talk and such, my DMs are open! (I'm also a July person haahaha)

ichigoshell.bsky.social•16 days ago

Will do! 🥺❤️ (also yay for July bbies lol)

soitssara.bsky.social•16 days ago

Do the thing!!
There’s so much value in just doing rather than worry about the timing :) even if it just ends up being a learning experience, that holds a lot of value~

ichigoshell.bsky.social•16 days ago

Ahhhh. I wish and hopefully?? I just feel too overwhelmed and so much been going on. Idk where to even start 😭 but thank you for the comment.
