I recently did because drawing so much was kind of stressful lolBut right now my prose is leagues worse than my drawing abilities, so for now im practicing with short stories...So, a problem i have is that most of the stories that i came up with would look good on comics, but in prose they kind of make me cringe (like a martial arts one, how does that work?)And also i think im thinking too visually when writing, is that a problem?
>>24732487The best thing you can do when trying to start writing is read more. Read stuff that does what you're interested in. Read things that inspire you, and to a degree treat them like you would drawing studies; if you feel inspired, don't shy from swapping the book for a pen and ripping the style or ideas off. Just consider it practice. The more you read the more you'll understand the tricks and structures writers use.Visual thinking isn't a bad thing, in my mind, but remember to do things you can't accomplish with only an image: other senses, thoughts, knowledge beyond what's "there".
>>24732499I have been reading for around 5 years so i think ive absorbed a bit by osmosis. But i think that now that im gonna write i have to read more as you say>Visual thinking isn't a bad thing, in my mind, but remember to do things you can't accomplish with only an image: other senses, thoughts, knowledge beyond what's "there".I see, thats what i was missing. Due to my background i only focus on the images and rarely pay attention to other senses or thoughts...
>>24732511>I have been reading for around 5 yearsWhat have you been reading? This matters. 5 years of fantasyslop is far different from 5 years of the Paris Review
>>24732518>What have you been reading? This matters. 5 years of fantasyslopf-five years of fantasy slopThats why i said ive only absorbed a bit of writing knowledge passively lol
