Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I understand that drawing doesn't work that way. What I'm suggesting is that drawing doesn't work that way because visualizing something in your mind is so far removed from actually seeing it.
For example, you could imagine that you want to paint a lake with mountains. You can get an idea of how you'll compose the image, what the colors are, how the strokes might make textures on the canvas, all the details. It's more than just knowing the facts of each object, color, line. It's an understanding of how it will look visually and you "picturre it" but it's nowhere close to the sensory experience of actually looking at the finished painting.
This is my experience, at least.
