Well I think I'm going to go with Inkscape. I don't have enough cash to afford paying for Adobe Illustrator right now, and I also love that it works both on Linux and Mac. I keep changing between the two, so it's nice to know I'll always be able to edit my images even if one of them died.

So learning Inkscape is quite a steep learning curve compared to Illustrator. This is from a complete novice, I only know the very basics of Illustrator but it took me no time to create some random drawings. With Inkscape it takes a bit longer. It was nice to see it recognizing my wacom with just minor tweaking (well, not even tweaking, just activating it).

Anyway, here are some silly pictures drawn user Inkscape.

As you can see, there's great potential here. As long as characters don't require a body, I'll be fine.
Ok, I don't even know what this is supposed to be.

Oh, did I mention that Inkscape is free?

The thing with Adobe Illustrator is that it's a great tool. It loves Mac OS X and plays nicely in that environment.

This is drawn directly on screen, so maybe I can actually draw on screen if I try enough...

Well, nothing much to say. Yet another blog being created. Hopefully this will someday in the future show my evolution as an amateur webcomic author. Most likely it will serve as proof that I tried, and failed miserably.

I'm trying to figure out what would be the best way to approach this... most blogs I see are from people that already now a lot about drawing...

I can't draw directly on the screen. I can't draw directly on paper.

Maybe I can't draw at all, maybe I should accept and embrace that.

Never!
