Yup this is good practice !
And working on a long comic will certainly make you improve significantly

The problem is that I'm very impatient and I'd wish I'd have drawn everything now . I've writen a lot of the script and started a couple of pages but I shouldn't rush because I don't want to start uploading it yet.

Well I'm here mainly to learn, and I must say your tutorials and memes are great for that

Thanks ^^
Well I made a 47 pages doujinshi some years ago and I'm very proud I've been able to finish it (though, since then, I don't have the faith to make more than 3-pages comics), and the thing that really helped me is that I bought a little sketchbook and I sketched it all quickly (but still definitively), so I knew exactly where I was in the story ! I recommend to do this to everyone before lauching themselves in something long ^^

Sounds interesting. When I wrote the script for my first project I found very easy to write all the dialogs in advance, but now I see it is a two bladed weapon since I'm so far in the story it discourages me to draw it at a slower pace.

I've always made short strips, mainly because I never have writen long stories. I've started a couple of "serious" projects ages ago, but never finished them. But those times computer edition wasn't so easy, maybe using your sketchbook trick may help. I'll definitely give it a try! Thanks! You're becoming my personal sensei!

Aha well if you're already far into the story you can also turn it into a fiction and just, like, draw the main events, or chapters illustrations to advertise it here ! ^^

Yes, you're right, but I'm the first one here who doesn't read fanfics so I guess making it a fanfic would be a bit selfish... "Read mine, even if I don't read yours!!!" And it wouldn't be a challenge either! (though I can always make a drawing a post a bit of the story in the comments)... Oh, well. I'll try the comic first and if it doesn't work, I'll post it as a text!

It's a tradition in cartoon to forget the last finger because it doesn't really add anything to the acting (in tex avery for example). When I'm drawing in a cartoony style I leave it behind, but when I'm working on more realistic pieces, I try to do an effort and add it.
Because, yeah, hands are a pain.

IC) though I think it's more like making 3th and 4th fingers a single one, cause the last one does act like a pinky in cartoons.

heh, hands've never been a pain for me, but I have other problems. backgrounds, details, coloring... *ouch* and unusual points of view give quite a headache sometimes.
