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! ♡

*raises hand*

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:

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

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!

Are sprite comics absolute taboo?

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

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 2016-06-30 08:13:29 UTC #114

@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 2016-06-30 08:16:33 UTC #115

I love the first one

Also thanks for the advice OwO

El_Psy_Congroo 2016-06-30 08:29:05 UTC #116

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

scullpanda 2016-06-30 08:35:21 UTC #117

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

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?

My question-- does this thumbnail look interesting enough for a comic series?
