As an artist, I will be subjected to many views whether they are good or bad. Recently, I have gotten a lot of positive/negative feedback on both my story and art from various people. Through this process, I have acquired two editors, Zaid and Taylor,each suited for different parts of my manga, which I am grateful for.
Taylor, who I just became friends with recently is able to analyze the character and story flaws in Spoon. When I hear his logic, I am dumbfounded and his way of analyzing my characters really makes me wonder, "wow, why didn't I think of that??" I have a lot of work to do, haha.
Zaid, who saw my works on the facebook page, "Mangaka", is my art editor. He analyzes my art and says how the perspectives are off as well as my feet and hands, haha. He currently attends an art school in India.
I believe accepting criticism is extremely important because it will shake you and help you grow. Those who reject it are only stunting their development, this applies to artists everywhere. The worst is when you think you made the best piece of art and than someone bashes you for it. And you just want to tell the person to fuck off.
But I stop myself and go, "Wait..is this the right way to approach them?"
If I am to grow and become a pro, I will take all the criticism thrown at me because to me, criticism is like my sunlight allowing me to grow (cheesy I know...lol).
So bring it!
Chapter 4 is coming along nicely and almost finished so look forward to that on May 16th!

Been awhile!
Sorry for not posting here for awhile..I have been busy with schoolwork.
From now on, I will be posting chapters on facebook instead of here and will post up my thoughts and various tidbits of information on Spoon.
I hope everyone enjoyed chapter 3 and will keep on reading! Get your friends too!

The Future of Spoon
Hi,
I have been uploading pages of chapter 1 individually day by day and now it is almost coming to end (finally! I know!).
From here on out, I plan on ONLY posting full chapters on facebook since most of my readers are situated there (click on the fanpage box to the right hand corner of the site). Full chapters will be released every other week aka biweekly. Following chapters will not be as big as chapter 1, so do not expect every chapter to be over 70 pages. lol.
On other sites, I will post page by page, since that is the best way of getting more readers.
But keep in mind, for my faithful readers, lol, that I am in grad school, so my workload will probably pile up and I might have to push Spoon to the side since drawing is not a guaranteed way of living, at least right now.
FUTURE PLANS:
I plan to keep going at this pace for another 4 years, that is if I don't burn out, because experience has shown me that drawing a lot only makes you better and hopefully in 4 years, I will be 934802650 times better.
And I plan to draw Spoon only til the first story arc is over, since I do want it published....one day. So please give me support and get peopel to read it! (for those who wants to see its completion...lol).
Ok, expect serialization soon!
FULL STEAM AHEAD!

Back
Hi,
The reason I have not updated for so long is that my computer crashed, so I was in the process of getting a new one and then I realized my scanner was out of date, so I had to purchase a new scanner!
But alas, I am back and we are approaching the end of chapter 1, so expect full chapters soon!
The releases will be biweekly, so expect a new chapter every other week which equals to about 2 to 3 chapters a month!
During this time, I will be probably redrawing old pages of chapter 1 for submission, although I believe it will not succeed since I am still an amateur, lol.
But yes, full speed ahead! Spoooooooooooooooooon power!
