Internal Barriers

Internal barriers are those that come from within yourself. They can be anything that prevents you from believing in yourself or your ability to make great comics.

Some common internal barriers include:

• Self-doubt: Do you ever find yourself doubting your ability to make great comics? Do you worry that your work is not good enough? Self-doubt is a common barrier that can prevent you from even starting to make comics.
• Perfectionism: Do you ever find yourself spending hours on a single page, trying to make it perfect? Perfectionism can be a major barrier to making comics, because it can lead to procrastination and burnout.
• Fear of failure: Do you ever find yourself afraid to share your comics with others? Are you worried that they will not like your work? Fear of failure is a common barrier that can prevent you from taking the next step in your comic book career.

If you are struggling with any of these internal barriers, know that you are not alone. Many people face these challenges when trying to make great comics. The important thing is to not let these barriers stop you from pursuing your dreams.

Here are some tips for overcoming internal barriers:

• Believe in yourself: The first step to overcoming internal barriers is to believe in yourself. This means believing that you have the talent and ability to make great comics. It also means believing that you can overcome any challenges that you face.
• Set realistic goals: If you set your goals too high, you are more likely to become discouraged and give up. Instead, set realistic goals that you can achieve. This will help you to build confidence and momentum.
• Don't compare yourself to others: It is easy to compare yourself to other comic book artists and feel like you are not good enough. However, it is important to remember that everyone is different. Just because someone else is making great comics does not mean that you cannot do the same.
• Seek feedback from others: One of the best ways to overcome internal barriers is to seek feedback from others. This can help you to identify areas where you can improve and to gain confidence in your work.

External Barriers

External barriers are those that come from outside of yourself. They can be anything that prevents you from having the time, resources, or opportunities to make great comics.

Some common external barriers include:

• Lack of time: Do you ever find yourself wishing you had more time to make comics? Many people struggle to find the time to make comics, especially if they have a full-time job or other commitments.
• Lack of resources: Do you ever find yourself wishing you had more resources to make comics? This could include things like money, materials, or software.
• Lack of opportunities: Do you ever find yourself wishing you had more opportunities to make comics? This could include things like finding a publisher or getting your work featured in a magazine or online.

If you are struggling with any of these external barriers, know that you are not alone. Many people face these challenges when trying to make great comics. The important thing is to not let these barriers stop you from pursuing your dreams.

Here are some tips for overcoming external barriers:

• Make time for comics: If you want to make great comics, you need to make time for it. This means setting aside a specific time each day or week to work on your comics.
• Find resources: There are many resources available to help you make comics. This could include things like online tutorials, books, and workshops. You can also find free or low-cost materials at your local library or art store.
• Create opportunities: If you are not getting the opportunities you want, you need to create them yourself. This means submitting your work to publishers, entering contests, and promoting your work online.

Making great comics is not easy, but it is possible. By overcoming the barriers that you face, you can achieve your dream of becoming a successful comic book artist.
