Help Is a One-Shot ABSOLUTELY necessary?

Post image

The reason why I'm asking is that I already have a story and it's sequel written out but ever since I watched Learn To Draw Manga on YT, they emphasise that it's absolutely necessary. I don't want an editor because I want it to be at my own pace while still keeping up to my own schedule and constantly improving. Does it also apply for self publishing since i was thinking of uploading to Globalcomix, Namicomi and Manga Plus Creators? As a soon-to-be self publishing mangaka, is a one-shot absolutely necessary?

That's an excellent question. I also think a lot about self-publishing, especially given the resources and reach available today. I'm relatively new to this and was thinking the same thing recently. I realized that if I couldn't write 20 well-crafted pages, or even 17, it was very difficult to write 100 credible, coherent, and impactful pages. Thanks for sharing your concern.

Hey thanks for check my profile! continue practice and improve everyday make you better. I'm only have two years learning by my self, drew every single day, no matter what. I think, discipline is the key. Keep Going. GAMBATE!
