How do I get over my fear of making comics?

How to get over it? Well my simple advice is this, realize the truth; that the quality and success of a comic is more determined by the writing than the art and your writing is almost certainly even worse.

That image is pretty good, most beginners and even intermediates couldn't pull off such impact.

lol i made this same thread last year. i'm going with grinding until i think i'm good enough. i'm getting there soon i think. (within the next year or so i should be ready.) i haven't made my comic yet but i have written more of them so that when my grind is good enough i have lots of material to start with. the writing for me is the easiest part though.

You just keep on making them, man. I've wanted to make comics for years, but I only actually started drawing them regularly a year ago. from a year of practice I learned a lot more about comics and art in general than I had just sitting around, waiting for my art to improve.
My art is still by no means great, or even good, but I want to keep making comics because I want to tell the stories. I've abandoned comics because the stories weren't turning out well, but what's to stop me from coming back to them after I've gained more experience and redoing them?
You're going to fail a lot if you make comics, and that's alright. My best advice would be to make shorter stories before you go into a large project, no longer than ~10 pages, though if you have a long story you're dead set on, go for it. Don't be afraid to experiment and leave your comfort zone, you're going to have to draw a lot to make a comic, so try mixing things up when appropriate. Just try to learn something along the way and have fun.

this is a good book, teaches you a lot of things that would take a while to realise with trial and error, and anon! I have a way of seeing comics, someone that has made 100 pages will always be better than someone that hasn't, JUST DRAW!

Have you read anything by ONE? I.E. One Punch Man or 100 Mob Psycho. If the story is on point then you're fine, it'll reach people. Focus on the story more than the art.

Then make a couple comics with stories you don't care about and practice more this isn't rocket science

Everyone loves to use ONE as inspirational example of a bad arist who still does good comics, but the thing is ONE isn't a great story teller, he's a great VISUAL story teller. Meaning, he loves manga and he knows how to make panels interesting and flow well. In that sense, art is very important. Take OPs page for example. I could easily overlook the anatomy problems and even the perspective, but the fact that the figure is sprinting in a direction that is making the last 2 panels flow backwards instead of forward is such a fundamental mistake for sequential art it hurts my soul. A mistake ONE would never make. Which is exactly why you can so easily overlook his terrible art.
