Webcomic artists?

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone on here was experienced with webcomics, and if so, how do you go about editing?

I have a little experiment comic that quickly got out of hand into a large-scale story, and I drew up the thumbnail for the first chapter (a rough sketch) and would like to know – if necessary – how to find and receive unbiased feedback outside of family/friends, and what level of editing is required for a webcomic? If I chose to share this comic, I would like to be able not to have any spoilers freely available.

Also, how do you even make a title card when your knowledge of vector boils down to it’s very hard, and no pixels.

I have seen successful webcomics that are basically stick figures made in paint. So, any level can be sufficient.

Thank you! I was mostly wondering from a storytelling perspective?

Interestingly the most web comics I read nowadays don’t even have a story and are mostly just unconnected shorts or comic strips. I’d say anything goes since there’s an audience for pretty much everything. If you think you have something worth sharing (and even if not) I say go for it! Don’t think too much about it being not “professional” enough or whatever. People like the weirdest stuff for different reasons and I’m sure there’s an audience for your comic too.

Hello,
everybody will give you their very biased opinion about your work, far from the unbiased feedback you seem to seek.

However, you will see how the audience reacts in the end. There is no formula to predict that.

Keep in mind, while it can give you some answers, it doesn’t prove or deny the quality of your work.

Thank you! So, from what I’m gathering, most webcomic artists don’t have editors, but mostly rely on peers, family, and friends for feedback?

By audience I mean anybody reading your work willingly.
Eventually, the closer the people are, the quicker they are fed up with my work and giving me feedback :slight_smile:
