Do you have in mind to make your own Manga? if you ask me, i will say YES. But i can't. Because i don't have any talent and skill in drawing... what about you? Do you same with me or you are now was trying to make it?

I actually did make my own manga a few years ago, out of pure boredom, but I wasn't giving much effort into it and my drawing skill at that time was not worth mentioning, so the result was like a total crap. I always wanted to start to make a manga but school really eats my life and time :( I've been doing some doujinshi and short (4 koma) mangas lately though.

I don't have much skills therefore it takes a lot of time. It took me over a month to make 50-80 pages, and with a small gap in the drawing, i cant get the flow of drawing the characters properly again... I have to keep referring back to the older pages. I'll just leave the job up to a pro mangaka. I started making manga because i couldn't find the right one i wanted to read - a little exciting, adventure and comedy in it.

I feel your pain, I have gobs and gobs of manga ideas but I can't put those ideas on paper. I have attempted many times to draw my own manga but everything turns out looking funny and to be honest I'm not really good at drawing inanimate objects :\ I have thought about asking someone who's good at drawing to maybe draw out my ideas but sometimes when you have a character in mind, they may draw it another way. So I have sorta placed my ideas on the back burner for now.

Yes, I always have that in my mind but it's hard to make your own manga if you're just alone. Why not try to invite your friends? Creating a manga with your friends will be a delightful experience. Now I'm trying to find people with the same interest as me so we can create our own manga, stories, anime magazine etc.Actually I even created a clan/organization for anime fans so we can be together and we can discuss what we want to do. Hope you can find too.(", And please do remember you can improve your skill in drawing just be patient. Aja!

Yes, I'm actually working on it now. I'll to take it to publishers so it can be printed. I think I can draw manga and I've been drawing since I was a kid.

I did some mangas, but shorst ones, when I was younger. Recently I tried to make a new one, based on book I'm writing (or trying to write) but dropped it because my graphics tablet stopped working. But I won't give up! One day I'll make my own manga, you'll see!
