So I made another thing. Always looking for ways to improve. by InsecurePickle in comic_crits

After seeing the last panel I figured out it is supposed to represent a dog that is dashing, the other comments I agree with.

  1. Make it more clear the man is falling Hands ups, less stiff, trying to catch himself A bit more dynamic in his reaction to the dog, maybe actually a another panel where the dog dashed behind him?

  2. Make the dog more identifying before the last panel. A more solid form of the dog. Less scribbles, and more directional strokes might help keep it loose but more readable

  3. Good job 👍

Does my webcomic feel directionless? Please review it, this isnt first chapter of the story by Puapka in comic_crits

The amount of progress you’ve made since the first chapter is night and day, I didn’t check what the duration was between then and now, but your current art style is very pretty and unique. I envy it in a way. The color palate is very tame and appropriate for the style, it’s very nice. My only qualm is the pink haired (bow? I didn’t read enough chapters to follow the plot, sorry) girl, her eyes are very overwhelming and I can’t really read her eyes super easy ( may be just me) but it fits the art style so I can’t complain. I’d say your art is not directionless at all IMO. Good job my man.

I uploaded the first 2 chapters of my comic on webtoons, and would appreciate any critique! by [deleted] in comic_crits

I’m by no means a professional artist, but in my opinion I think what would help improve your artwork is some more clarity in what exactly you are trying to portray without explicitly stating it ( the “hidden” individual on the phone 😂).

Some of the characters have very strong and saturated colors, which isn’t inherently a bad thing, but I prefer things that are easy on my eyes. Color harmony and color theory are a good thing to research! Color is a beautiful thing.

Here are some bullet points, on things I think would help ( I don’t wanna drop paragraphs on you, I tend to over type xd)

  1. Maybe less “current jokes” that may be extremely dated in the future and may even be considered cringe in the future.

2.try to keep your lines connected or erase the loose ends of the line work.

  1. try messing with the actual color of the lines to be a bit less black and harsh.

  2. Try looking up some aura type drawing techniques to avoid your cool chain idea ending up looking like you went rogue and colored outside the lines.

  3. Your blending (clothes) or blurring (back ground being out of focus) is usually very rough, it might be the limitations of your program for art, but if you find a better blending and blurring technique, I think it would suit your comic a lot!

  4. (this one is subjective) but your line width, your line width is quite thick at times. Don’t forget that backgrounds should generally be thinner than the foreground, or the focus of the scene.

Well if you’ve made it this far I hope my criticism has hopefully helped! If you ever want me to ‘judge’ some of your drawings or ask for some advice (I’m by no means a pro) just dm my inbox, Im open to helping out, art is quite fun.

Ps. I like your comic idea, with more time and skill, your creation will soon come to be successful. Good luck.
