should I make a comic about art?

Mood: contented
I was thinking about doing a comic like Scott McClouds' Understanding comics, but about the path many people take to become an artist. Also the mistakes many take that may make them fail to realize their dream.

this isn't something I really want to release on Deviant art till I know what people will think of it. Should I do one? or what if anything do you think I should put in it?

i dont know what scott mcclouds understanding comics are but i like the blub of what your gettign at.
i feel this could end up become a love/hate thing. it could do really well or it could be a flop... it all depends on script and excecution of key events.

i wouldnt mind reading something like that so if you need anyone to talk to about any issues feel free and i will try to help.

well this is going to deal with the mistakes many people take to become an artist and the paths they take that will make them successful... it's not really an evaluation on what art is but the people who make it. think of it as a psychology of an artist...

i think everyones idea of what works and what doesnt is different. For some, this route may work, whereas it faisl with others. That is an issue i think you might end up finding out. The script needs to allow for this.

There is no set guide to becomeing an artist or a good well known artist. Luck plays a large factor so that is why i said earlier this could be a love hate thing.
I dont think showing the "Wrong" ways can work however. Every way can work, luck decides whether it does or whether ir doesnt.

However i wouldnt mind seeing it. I think you should go for it. Just before you do anything get a solid script, Re read through it, And then again. LEave it for a week and then re read it again. If you like it all those times, then go for it.

Better try than lose a potential good idea, just do it

It might end up bad, then it'd be one of many failed experiments. It might end up good and it'd have been worth your time

I guess, I'll go ahead and get started on it, my problem is, that it might sound to preachy so I'd rather have a few read it first, get an honest evaluation, and then to the masses...
