The Official "How Does This Look?!?" Thread

[UzukiCheverie]

First of all, props to OP for making this topic, it's really cool of you.

you're very welcome u w u

regarding your styles, I like the second one! It pops a lot more, and though the first one is more distinctive, it could also make reading the comic a lot harder, because the ink is so bright and vibrant, it might be a little hard on the eyes, and hard to register what's happening in scenes. There's a lot more depth to the second one, which is important if you're going to be drawing backgrounds in your comic behind your characters.

Also, I'd suggest making the text lines a little thicker; in both cases they clash with the colors and they aren't thick enough to read easily.

Either way, whichever one you choose, pick the one you like and works for you! The second one is nicer IMO but it will also require a lot more upkeep and time compared to the first one. Good luck! <3

Thank you so much for the precise review! I'm happy to say I tackled the problems mentioned (thicker text and trying to balance the colors), here's the result: Absolute Purgatory
I'll definitely remember the advice given in future episodes. Thanks again! ♡

Hello! I'm the creator of a webcomic that's called Kurumi's After Hours. I got a drawing tablet yesterday after months of working with my mouse and paths in Photoshop, and as a result, I'm planning to shift my gag strip series to a long-form comic. So, uh, well, here's my least crappy product from my first test runs of my tablet earlier tonight. I do hope I didn't completely screw it up.

Also, I guess I should start looking for a graphics application that has pressure sensitivity and squiggle correction. In any case, any advice is highly appreciated!

Personally, I would recommend MediBang Paint Pro, it's a free program that has both those things as well as clipping and grids for drawing circles, straight lines, squares, perspective and curves. Also, if you create a free account with them you can save your work to a cloud. (I don't have much history with clouds so I don't know if it's the cloud, a cloud or their cloud sorry)
p.s- Your drawing looks super cool!

Helloooo I'm making yet another comic just because I can and I kinda can't stop making new ones but I'm debating whether to go with the typical boxes or leave them out for a bit softer feel. Comic is romance so in a way no borders would be nice but the comic will be going through some hard topics so the boxes would give the rough kind of feeling to it. Please help by giving your opinion \;0;/

So this is my first comic, and it's kinda cringey but not as cringey as the first time I drew it.


Should I keep using this style or this one:

[joannekwan]

Yes I think the colored version is much cleaner and more finished looking! ^^

[BlackMantaStudios]

I tried Medibang Paint Pro as @YoungAdventurer recommended more than a month ago. I really liked it, and I hope I got gud since. Same OC, btw.

Any advice, of course, is highly appreciated.

Hi there! I just uploaded my first comic on here. My boyfriend mentioned he wasnt a fan of the linework I used but can you guys give me some feedback too? I wanted to go for a more childrensbook-ish feel to it but maybe it is too sketchy looking? What do you think? My comic is here: Rin 'n Pip

Or you can take a look at this!

[ChiaAkiyama]

Are sprite comics absolute taboo?

[leoh090723]

Wow! You're so good! I think number one looks better because the highlights make the hair look smoother

Thank you ^^

It'd be nice if we can get some reviews and subs.

So for my comic Wait...What I keep feeling like I'm missing something like background or something I tried some in this strip but kinda just divulged into colors the second one. Would having (and working on) backgrounds be good or should I do colors and or white background?

[El_Psy_Congroo]

@scullpanda I think it depends on your comics needs. Some comics, especially gags get by with little to no backgrounds. If your story has an actual narrative structure and location is important you should probably start making backgrounds.

I'd like some feedback on which thumbnail to use for my comic. The picture will usually be pretty small and the goal is to see which one is the most eye-catching:

[scullpanda]

I love the first one

Also thanks for the advice OwO

[El_Psy_Congroo]

NP, and thanks - that's actually my original one. Let me just show two more I just made:

[scullpanda]

I liked the use of blank space for your first one ---These two are nice I like the top better then the bottom

[firgofumbra]

I usually do a lot more color and shading in my works - but that's been taking so much of my time that it made making new pages a real chore. So, I'm trying out a more 'traditional' approach to the patterns and shading of the webcomic. How is it looking so far?
