Went back to color pt3

This was after removing my wisdom teeth, so I just wanted to do something besides drawing for a while.

Experimenting with art style

So I decided to experiment with my art style for my manga I’m aiming to get published eventually! The drawings in the slideshow go in order of how recently I did them, the first being from today. I decided due to the content of my story that a more realistic approach to the art style would fit better. For some more context, I will be pitching it to a seinen magazine, when I get to that stage (fingers crossed!) as I think the story is quite heavy/dark and my message would resonate better with an older audience. Opinions on the artistic change and any feedback in general would be greatly appreciated!!

What website/app do you recommend for writing manga scripts?

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a completely free website or app to write my manga scripts.

I'm mainly after something that lets me:

  • Organize chapters and scenes
  • Keep character profiles and world-building notes
  • Plan story arcs
  • Easily edit and rearrange ideas
  • Stay organized as the story grows

I'd prefer something with no subscription required.

What do you use, and why do you recommend it? Thanks!

what's the actual minimum chapter count before you'll follow a new serial

asking cause I think I've been sitting on 8 chapters for two months too scared to post, worried nobody follows something with less than a buffer of 15+.

what's your real threshold and would you follow at chapter 1 if the premise grabs you or do you wait to see if the author has staying power first

How do you think of a storyboard?

I know it may sound obvious, but hear me out, please.

I tried the two ways of making a storyboard recommended:

First being writing a script and using as a structure to draw the storyboard;

And the second being just thinking on overall scenes and drawing and writing the dialogue directly on storyboard.

But this have me facing some problems, since the first method make the pacing too slow, and dumped with dialogue; and the second being more scene-composed but more superficial in dialogue and characterization.

I've tried to mix the two, but it much likely fused the two main issues.

I am kinda of spyraling right now.

So if you, fellow manga artist, have an insight, i would be very grateful for you sharing it.

(The drawing is just a regular Johnny Bolt that i made on my phone)

Tried drawing a hand and don’t know what I’m doing

I don’t know how to make this look like an actual hand and would like advice (idk if this is too generic of a question but I do want to become a mangaka one day so I thought keeping it in a manga subreddit would be best).
