idk, get into an actual class to get the fundamentals down before getting your own style down.

Shut up and write

Try and write an Ed Edd Eddy x South Park crossover fanfic
Or a Recess x Fillmore fanfic.

Write it in the format of a screenplay then drop it as a "scrapped" episode and see if people comment stuff like," Wow, I can really see this being an episode!". You'll know if you're improving based on those reactions.

This is a limited experiment meant to get you going. You'll have to move onto other writing techniques after awhile.

I can tell you what to aim for in weaving a narrative, differentiating characters, and prose, but it's far better if you actually write.

If you want to make comics make comics!

How the is that the process of events?
>Write a bunch of shit
>Therefore, I can now draw a bunch of shit
If you already have the art skills, just skip the fanfic and go straight to comics. You don't need to create a masterpiece on your first go-round, just do random comics as dry runs until you're confident enough for long-form narrative.
If you don't have the art skills? Do shitty comics anyway. Nothing helps you improve at art more than doing more art.
Can't write? Again, just fucking practice. Read shit. Go to the threads for shows you like and start writing greentexts for those shows. Find your style in those punchy, short-form stories and then expand on them. Take those greens, and convert them into longer fics.
