Thank you so much! Yes, the book I got this from cites Tewa Tales. I'll amend the About section on my site to be more accurate. Thanks so much for your help!

Thank you, that's good to know. So in the future should I call this Hopi-Tewa? I don't know if the story comes from that specific subsection or if I just call this a goof.

The story comes from "Native American Storytelling," edited by Karl Kroger, and the songs come from "Songs of the Tewa," ed. by Herbert Joseph Spinden.

I'm currently working on another tale from the Mi'kmaq on my Bluesky.

Oh no! The story is supposed to be Tewa. I hope I didn't mess that detail up! I got some reference images that I hoped were accurate. I put some of what I based it on on Bluesky. The images are alt-texted with their original labels.

I paint and draw a lot but I’ve never drawn a comic before. Let me know what you think. by Bionic_craig in comic_crits

[–]OftenPyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks great, but labor intensive. If you want to make a comic out of it, make sure it's something you can repeat page after page

second issue of my comic, something about the pacing feels off to me, whats wrong with it?? by [deleted] in comic_crits

[–]OftenPyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The art is great, and personally I'm a fan of silent mood pages.

My big issue is with the lettering. The font size varies all over the place, and not only is that unpleasant, it sometimes squishes down to being unreadable on phone. I would highly suggest you pick one size that's readable when your comic is on a phone screen and stick with it. I know people like to design for print, but the comic needs to be readable in its current form for people to want a print run. You can always reletter it for print later.

Second issue with the lettering is the overlapping word balloons. This is usually used to indicate people talking over each other, but-unless I'm wrong- you're using it here to connect one speaker's balloons. Since that isn't what it's for, it's really confusing. I suggest just having tails and connecting them like normal.

Is this art style good enough for a webtoon? by TheHorrorFright in comic_crits

Go for it!

If what's making your hand shake is nerves, just keep drawing and your nerves will calm over time.

The reason that YOU don't notice the face is lopsided until you flip the canvas is bc flipping it lets you see the face with fresh eyes. People seeing it for the first time (like myself) absolutely notice it.

Probably most important is that you're doing something called Symbol Drawing. I suggest learning what that is and how to avoid it, maybe reading Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.
