If I want to draw more in a particular scene that I think is important, because of time I cannot. That's hard for me. But I've always wanted to be a manga-ka, so I'm doing what I love.

When you're drawing comics, you get very involved in how the story is going to develop and you spend more time daydreaming on that particular subject.
I think if you want to do a thing properly you have to take a lot of care. I've always found it's easier to draw comics if you know clearly in your head what you're drawing, rather than if you try and make it up as you go along.
Almost every scene, I re-think as I'm about to start drawing it, and at least half of the time I'm changing dialogue or whatever, or adding scenes or different things.
I know as a child, I was really interested in becoming a manga artist, to create my own stories and illustrate them and present something that people would be interested in reading and looking at as well.
The hardest thing about being a manga-ka is that it's a weekly thing.
As long as I can remember, I've always loved to draw. But my interest in drawing wasn't encouraged very much.
I have always enjoyed drawing and painting but I don't always find the time to do much these days.
I throw everything I have into whatever story I'm writing - and so there's something immensely gratifying about finishing one piece and then starting fresh with a new setting, time period and cast of characters, getting to see the world through a completely different lens each time.
All the important drawings I do myself. Every single character is also done by me.
