Recommendations and critics about my comic

[poleronepeix]

Well, i have a comic since last week and i would like anybody to tell me what do they think about and any tips or things they should change about it. Please anyone?
my comic series:
DISCOVERING THE WORLD

feel free to criticise

Ohhh I'm liking the soft colors you're using with your watercolor! Kudos to going with that for your medium, I don't see too many watercolor comics.

I think my main suggestion would be to pick a different font. Cursive font's are not always easy to read, and in comics, legibility is key. I can see why you would gravitate towards it as it does suit your style but I highly recommend going with a sans-serif font of some kind in all caps, because even if what you have does look nice, you don't want to sacrifice clarity for style.

I suggest checking out Blambot for fonts that are made for comics and playing around with a few different ones to find one that suits your style. Most of the fonts on there are going to be perfectly legible, but also be in all caps, meaning all you'ld really have to do is plug it in and you'ld be good to go!

Wow, nice comic! I enjoy the story telling and the pacing in it and would love to see where it goes.

The only issue that I can really see is what dojo mentioned before. The font is a little small and the cursive is a little bit difficult, which can be off-putting for people. If Blambot doesn't suit you in any manner, try dafont.com. They have some pretty nice fonts that you can check how they look in a sentence before downloading.

seconding font suggestions - id also think about the voice youre writing it. its very disconnected, and you seem to be telling us what the images should be, causing them to be underwhelming. youve attached the voice to a character, so make it personal.

i think your art style looks really good, especially your lines, but sometimes you need a more dynamic angle, or pose, or up the contrast - currently, your story is falling flat because the art stays in a fairly safe space. its an action scene, so play around, zoom right in, then right out, make everything tilted, all sorts of stuff - at this point, worry less about it working and more about experimenting and enjoying showing your story in exciting ways.

The colouring is very nice. If you want to still have the hand written feel but want it to be more clear, I would recommend using this Handwriting font creator, where you print a template, write in each letter then scan and upload to the website and it creates a font from your writing. Super useful.

Apart from what what was said about the font, I feel like the way you apply the text could be a bit more subtle, Its a bit jarring to have the nice, soft, hand drawn illustrations then go to hard, black text over a pure white box. Maybe play around with putting the font directly on the page or lightening the text box digitally instead of the pure white.

Another thing I would suggest is to do some touch ups like erasing the pencil lines that are visible between the frames and when you upload your pages, make sure they're all the same dimensions. Otherwise I think you have a really interesting comic, aesthetic-wise.
