Ok so I'm sort of making a cartoon, it's not so much a cartoon as a comic, or just a bunch of pictures with words and speech bubbles. it's based on one of the story's I was writing.
I thought about it, since some of the character have mental disability's, although I don't make it too obvious, maybe some people would around here would be interested?
I'm drawing it myself, I kind of rushed the first ones, but I plan to remake it with improved artwork. I'd like to know if anyone here would like the story.

I guess if your interested, I have a video up on YouTube. anyway, I was thinking this would be the best place to talk about it. I hope to make a story the can be enjoyed by people who have autism or things like that.

what do you think? if you want to, maybe someone could help a little somehow?

I really like the pages peeling away from each other. I would delete the prologue talking about yourself. The first two girls are nearly impossible to tell apart. What you have here is more a storyboard than a comic, but it is a beginning.
Will it be possible for you to take drawing lessons to increase your skill?

It reminds me of a storyboard. I'm assuming that's where you're going with this.

I think it would do you some good to invest a little time into some practice, and learn perspective so things can be drawn a little bit more accurately. (It's difficult, but even just a little perspective drawing will make a background infinitely better.)

Mark Crilley would be up your alley when it comes to tutorials and the style of art you're using.

This is my result after viewing this video, though it isn't where I want to be. I'm still working on it myself:

Remember, lots and lots of practice!
