>comics are the hardest skill to obtain

Make one you dingleberry

Animation is the hardest skill to obtain. Sequential art comes in at a somewhat distant second, but definitely in front of all the other stuff like illustration, fine art, concept art etc. If you don't see why that is you're either really stupid or a very uncreative troll.

beautiful

I'm teaching myself to draw so that I can a. Draw comics and b. Make my nature journals more aesthetic.

I hate the kind of flat, talking head bullshit comics like OP. I won't settle for less than Burns or Clowes.

> Most comics are shit, it must mean making comics is easy

I sure hope you can see the flaw in your reasoning.

I don't see how you're not a troll. For very good reason sculpture is considered both the most difficult skill set to acquire and the highest form of visual art. I get the feeling you respect animation though.

>>3130255
It's hard to acquire because of the gigantic funds and patience required in traditional sculpting. Not to mention physical labor. Digital Sculpting does away with all of that though.
To be honest they're all vastly different skills with different goals, and will come harder or easier to different individuals.

Making GOOD (keyword) comics is one the hardest skills to obtain IF you are doing them entirely on your own. You need a huge skill set to get them done:
-Need to be able to draw and conceptualize fast
-Need to be able to write compelling characters and story with proper pacing
-Need to understand how to convey imagery in a way that leads the eye down the page naturally

It's extremely labor intensive and requires a shit load of skills to do effectively. Obviously if you have a big ass team (as is often the case on western stuff) then the workload is a lot less severe. Before anyone brings it up...yes, I know mangaka who are popular have assistants too. The difference is the assistants don't write the fucking story, create the characters or do anything more than some basic grunt work to speed up the process.

i think they just like the comics, and that most people don't evaluate art in terms of how many l22t sk1llz0rz are required to do it.

>>3129828
Comics like that may look simple but they still aren't easy to do. Just cause something looks simple doesn't mean there's not skill involved. Just look at Prokos attempt at a comic strip for proof.

>>3129828
100% agree with OP on this one

And 3-D animation does away with a lot of the difficulty in animation. Yes, people do have different aptitudes for different kinds of visual art. It's nice when you find your medium.
