This
was my first manga story, done way back from 1998 to 1999,
when I was still at university. Up until then, I've never
drawn a manga; nor much of anything at all. I got off on a
slow start, changed my mind 150 times over which direction
the story will go during it's course, and took about a year
to finish it. From that, I learned my first valuable lesson:
Plan Ahead.
Now, I
look back on this and wince. It's frightfully amateurish,
and badly drawn compared to my current stuff; but
we all have our first attempts. At least I managed
to finish my first attempt. I also achieved my main
goal - to get more experience drawing a complete manga.
Believe me - no matter how bad the finished product
turns out, nothing beats the sense of closure finishing
something brings. Mind you, the story I chose to tell
may not be the best choice for a first timer, but
it did supply me plenty of opportunities to practise
my drawing skills. This was the crucial first step
everyone has to take. It always sucks, but stick with
it and it will be greatly rewarding down the track.
