If you're serious about creating a graphic novel, you really need to work on the storytelling. Come up with a premise and a set of conflicts that provides the dramatic structure for your story. Characters need arcs (even if it's a flat arc), and you also need to have themes that you want to explore--the main ideas that's the heart and soul of your story. If you don't have any of that, creating random characters won't really help you get closer to creating a graphic novel. Creative writing/storytelling takes just as much work as art, if not more, so you do have to put in the time and energy to learn storytelling techniques and actually write the story (in your case, character profiles, synopsis, outline, script, etc.).
Also, to do a graphic novel you need to be able to draw backgrounds, and in your story you'll have different environments you need to design--from room interiors, public spaces, streets, buildings, vehicles, weapons, landscapes, etc. It'll be very important to be able to draw everything that will appear in your story in any possible camera angle, so you need to make sure you have a strong understanding of perspective. |
