A funny kind of art block

I’m in the process of writing a short comic. I’ve almost finished the script entirely with a few pages completely done.

I want to start drawing these pages but can’t seem to make them work. I’ve attempted this first page 3 times and it never comes out how I want it to. Now, whenever I think about drawing it I get a swell of murky, watery anxiety in my chest. Usually I can make things, I can see it in my head and it comes out on the page more or less how I want it. This piece feels like an entirely different beast and I’m worried this is because I’ve made it into one.

Part of me worries that once I finish the drawing section then I must start on the more terrifying bit. Showing people, sending it to publishers and ultimately being rejected many times (Or so I’ve heard from publishing stories.)

All I can think to do is loosen up, relax and have fun. But trying to do that is proving difficult.

I will keep you updated, wish me luck.
