I'm just curious. Do you find it easier to draw comics or write comics? To clarify, is it easier for you to come up with ideas, dialogue, and story or actually physically draw the comics?

I think it's interesting that some artists either have too many ideas to draw or lots to draw but no ideas, not always a balance of both. Smile

Writing them is far easier for me. I'm the sort who has more ideas than I could plausibly draw in my lifetime. At last count, I had ideas for about 80 different comics and projects, and I've come up with more since then. (The Misadventures of Okk is considered one comic, not two-hundred-and-two.)

Concepts just come to me constantly. Dialogue usually flows naturally, though some days it's a little tougher than others. Either way, though, the writing still comes faster and with less effort than the artwork.

I'd say it's easier to write, because it's not a tangible thing, so it's easier and quicker to manipulate. and while it happens in your head until it's put down on paper, there's less risk of being set back a long long way when you mess up.

I agree. Though, even with the more tangible act of writing a story or a novel, it seems as though I can get a lot more done in a shorter span of time than I ever could drawing comics.
