Curate, connect, and discover
Is it funny that you did well on drawing a character from a series you know and then when you draw your own characters is not really good compare to ones you draw from that series?
IIIIIIIIIII’m not sure how to answer that because I am not a drawing artist whatsoever.
But I do see where you are coming from and agree with you. Because it’s easy to write stories about characters from other series in fanfictions because there’s already been an establishment of characterization and the world they live in and their storylines and character arcs. We got the base we can work off of or build from.
But in original stories, you have to basically create these stuff all on your own. Create your own world. Create your own characters. Create your own storylines. Which can maybe or maybe not be as great as the stories you loved (I’m pretty sure it can be; it really falls on the person’s personal interests).
And even then, honestly, when it comes to writing fanfictions, you still have to worry about making sure the characterization is still accurate at least. And just hope people comment you enough that you did a good job doing so.
