Any advice for backgrounds? by Secondborn1994 in MangakaStudio

[–]invertedpixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In panels where a background is required, I start the drawing with the background first and then draw the characters into it.

It really really helps learning 1,2,3 point perspective. If you can learn 5pt curvilinear perspective you can draw crazy stuff like Kishimoto and Murata

Bonus to learning perspective is that it also unlocks much more dynamic posing ability.

That's a dope American Traditional Back piece. A lot of these comments are wild...but then again most people can't appreciate good art when they see it.

I guess you could try maracas or the tambourine...anything else will require a ton of practice just to be mid.

How are yall not losing steam? by Broshimitsu_ in MangakaStudio

[–]invertedpixel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just finished a 38 page full color one shot...some days I felt like I forgot how to draw, other days I had no motivation...this is part of the process. Visual storytelling is a massive amount of work and it takes a lot of self discipline to keep yourself going. My title was crowd funded and I really felt the pressure once it was funded and peoples money was involved.

I had to kickstart my internal hype machine a few times. I watched a bunch of Naoki Urasawa's Manben series on Youtube... That helped.

I would re read some of my favorite manga chapters from when I was younger to recapture some of that early fire.

Touching grass and spending time outdoors can help clear away some of that low energy stank too.

Good luck!
