Learning to draw, for starters
but actually creating the full plot and planning out the entire story and possible stories
and before even that, worldbuilding
We're not going to start it until we are perfectly ready
Ehh that stuff is fairly easy
That stuff is fairly easy depending on how far you are willing to go
If you over think it youll fail
It depends on what you are going for
If you are creating your very own universe, you have to ensure that it acts like its own universe
Otherwise it's just an expy earth
And if you want to go for that, you can
but that isn't what i am striving for
Idk one piece does alright
Keep it simple
i think you conflate worldbuilding with what is seen in the story
The readers only get into it at the rate you let them
just because you create an entire universe doesn't mean you show it all
lol
but it adds to the authenticity of it
Leaving it open also allows you to change it later
I want to establish things so everything remains as consistent as possible
And because I already have a good understanding of the universe I've created
What we are working on is a reconstruction of what we've already done, but something to buffer out all of the inconsistencies and things that do not make sense when we first began
My point is if you could be overthinking things that the readers might never see or even think about
I don't see a problem with that for worldbuilding
It could be surface-deep and have the facade of its own universe, and people can make that work and do as they wish with that
But I want to make it as detailed and deeply rooted as I can
that's simply how I do things
Worldbuilding won't even take that long lol
We've only a few more fundamental things to do, before we move onto the general history of the world
Idk still sounds like you should both learn to draw some so you can split the work
I can't draw well lol
It would help with how deep you want to go
No one draws for shit at the start
I've taken a few art classes here and there, and I was never a good drawer lol
If nothing else learn how to color and shade
🤔
Its art but there is a ton of stable techniques behind it
idk, i have never been able to shade well
I'm not sure what you mean by color
