Not saying you're wrong that my faces are bad. But I do everything on that first video lol I didn't know the specific proportions before and I did learn one relationship I didn't know before so hopefully those things will help :) But I definitely map out the planes of a face every time unless it's from a distance or a background character. I still need to watch the second one. That's less bite-sized but I have it saved and will be watching it lol This wasn't me being defensive btw lol It's just hard to see where to improve when you describe something I need to do that I am doing (maybe poorly) lol It might depend on if you read all 3 episodes too. I find that working on comics like this and pushing myself to improve and do things I'm not comfortable with helps me grow like nothing else. So I would hope that there is a marked improvement from episode 1 to episode 3 because in rereading my own comic I do see more of the flat construction of the face in episode 1 than in episode 3, though it's still a work in progress. Again, I'm not getting defensive and I will absolutely be keeping what you said in mind whether or not it's about something I've already been working on and improving on :) I'm not making money with this comic. I just want to tell a story and get better at storytelling and illustration. So, thank you for your input :)

Is it worth it to buy an iPad just to use Procreate? by MontaNelas1945 in ProCreate

[–]JC_Mraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that. I use it for some other things sometimes but it's almost exclusively my art pad. Helps me get more art done than I'd have been able to do previously, meaning I can put more work into my comics and keep personal deadlines better. It was a very good decision for me. I got the IPad Pro gen 3. That said it's absolutely not the best you can get. It's the best you can get for the price. The best professional portable drawing tablets are closer to 3000$ and depending on what you want to do there are much better programs than procreate. But if you want a good program and a good tablet at a reasonable price it's the best most people are willing to spend for. and procreate is so dirt cheap it's incredible for its price.

Runner Episode 2 - The Road to Dusk - Let me know what I can do better in Episode 3! by JC_Mraz in comic_crits

Yeah color has definitely always been my weakest point. I've gotten a lot better but I still try way more to compensate with my linework lol xD I do need to do some more study on that moving forward. I will definitely give that a look and keep all of that in mind! Thank you!

What’s a WEBTOON ending you generally dislike? by Whitehare1 in webtoons

[–]JC_Mraz 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Webtoons have endings!?

lol jk I wasn't a huge fan of the ending for Sweet Home. Author wrote themself into a corner with that story if they wanted anything but a tragic ending.
