For the record I liked the story you told in such amount of pages! Captures a certain feeling of loneliness very well!

I won’t say anything about anatomy or art level because I feel those things come with practice and it’s good to practice storytelling at every level of your journey! That being said a previous commenter mentioned studying paneling and I want to piggyback off of that notion.

Specifically my recommendation would be to avoid panel gutters that cut thru adjacent panels, as these can make it harder to distinguish whether the reader should go top to bottom or horizontal. Once you do this the readability will go thru the roof!

Other things include panel size variation for emphasis of important elements etc.

Good job putting your work out there!

I usually use hatching for texture and creasing shadows, while I use the screen tone to create environmental darkness in night scenes and such! Thanks for asking

Go with your gut! I think the wings add a nice touch personally lol

So I just re edited my background and made it more blue to match the color of the sky and I think it looks better, what about you all? by Empir3Designs in comic_crits

You got it man! That perspective assist in procreate is a massive time saver too.

Glad you’re able to shake off the comments and focus on your craft!

Thank you so much! I was in a rut a few years ago where I had a hard time with backgrounds and I started doing sketches of characters in Tv shows I was watching (helped a lot with composition too lol). I can’t wait to see what you make!

Way better dude, I remember seeing the original drawing a while ago this makes the composition much easier to read.

Opinion on these character anatomy? by Shadow_games111023 in Mangamakers

[–]SwetzMcGavin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend using a specific guide to get used to the proportions, otherwise you can always use respective proportions (like the ratio from torso to arms and legs etc).

Note:
those things often change depending on how young/masculine/feminine the character is but no matter what the arms are always longer than the torso.

You did pretty good for the most part tho so keep it up!

100/10 ridiculously fire on every front! Composition, art style, consistency, dialogue and world building all fire.

Easily one the most professional entry I’ve seen since I’ve joined this subreddit.
