  Curious about creating a graphic novel.

  0 0 Friends of the Nib http://friendsofthenib.blogspot.com/ and the Bureau of Drawers http://thebureauofdrawers.blogspot.com/ are two local meet-and-draw groups. You should definitely go to some of their meet ups — you'll meet artists who can give you advice. It would also give you a change to practice drawing yourself. Even if you can't draw how you'd like to see it, it would help you learn the "language." It's essential to educate yourself about all kinds of art generally. All of the most successful mainstream comics writers (who are, generally speaking, the people who aren't drawing their own comics) — Alan Moore, Brian Michael Bendis, Warren Ellis, Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman — can do a bit of drawing, even if it's not professional quality — you have to know how to think visually as a writer, not just as an artist. Also, other writers, such as Gail Simone, Brian K. Vaughan, etc. took theater writing classes, so that would probably help out. Even if you have the best story in the whole wide world, it's how you tell it. There are plenty of books at the library to get you started. Jessica Abel and Matt Madden's Drawing Words, Writing Pictures would probably be another useful resource, and Alan Moore has a how to write book too. Stan Lee isn't really a useful example. He got his start by being the right person's nephew. MeanJaneane answered in Writers & Publishing about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 3 more answers »
