If I had 6 months and no obligations, I'd learn to draw and to storytell, and I'd make and publish (for free if I can afford it) a graphic novel adaptation of Asimov's Foundation.

Current item 1 on my "to do once we exit" list.

It's a brilliant set of books by one of the most brilliant authors ever, and IMHO has a philosophy and structure that is rarely found in contemporary books or graphic novels. It would be a challenge to bring that vision to the paper well.

In 6 months, you could learn the basics of drawing. Enough to make a simple graphic novel, to have fun and get the experience. But something tells me the source material demands a more complex approach. The best illustrators take years to refine their technique.

Not trying to dissuade you. If you love drawing, absolutely do as much of it as you can. Just don't stop after 6 months.

Start anyway. The rough draft will always be a rough draft.
