Ok, well, one piece of advice i could give you, is move the head a bit forward, because now the neck is kind of coming from the chin, even tho its a side view.
And another piece of advice would be this: At least TRY to shade a bit, it will add so much more depth to the drawing.
I guess that's all.

I'm using Medibangpaint pro, which is also free. I looove it as it has cloud storage and autosave among other things smiley And thanks for the advice!

Could I perhaps get some technical advice? I'm unsure about my font, its size, and the coloured borders of the speech bubbles. 😣
I'm still working on the art style, but I think I'm experienced enough to be able to experiment myself (over 12 years). c:

I'm working on the series banner for an upcoming comic of mine; could someone please tell me if it is legible?
Thanks!

Your logo is a bit difficult for me to read. Overgrower?
I like the idea and the colours of the leaves and flowers are looking great. You've put in some fantastic little details in the branches and twigs and it's looking super cute. smile Unfortunately, logos will often be shrunk down to fit business cards or link banners and these details can either disappear or become clutter. frowning
One option for you could be to use pre-existing font as a guide. This will keep your design level and the letters even in size so you can focus on arranging the plants in creative ways while the font acts as a sketch underneath. Then you can delete the font afterwards to reveal your clearer design. (Make sure to not follow the font like a cookie-cutter of course.)
Or, if you prefer to keep it more organic (pun intended), just keep the plants closer to each letter. When the leaves and flowers get too close to one another, my eyes get confused. (Especially around the OW. The leaves make me think it's an AW... and I'm not certain it's an ER I'm seeing at the end.)
Overall, it looks very cute and I'm liking the sweet and gentle atmosphere of your logo so far. Hopefully that helps! blush

The font size on the first two pages is just fine IMO. It seems a tad small on the third page. open_mouth

I hardly noticed the coloured border around your speech bubbles so I'd say it blends nicely with your style.

Looks good to me! smile

Hey guys! I'm sketching up this panel and I'm not sure if the perspective is working. Or if it's working in general. I need some fresh eyes on this sucker. What do you think?

Hi. I'm working on a manga at the moment called Devil's Day1. Its just in the beginning phase and it's an action, shonen manga. I'm just looking for some feedback on whether it looks enough like a manga you would read in Jump. My inspiration for the art is Boku no Hero Academia.

Heres the before. It looks a little more sketchy and has more pen strokes for the shading.

And here is my latest page. I made the shading a little more manga like and it's a little bit smoother. I'm wondering if i should stick to my previous style or the new one. Do you think it looks mangalike and somewhat professional. Also am I using too much tone ? Please let me know your thoughts ^^

bwomp how does this banner look so far??? im looking now and theres parts i should tweak but it looks charming

So I'd really like an opinion on coloring styles, for a particular character. See, the background for my comics, are made with a particular sharp, almost crude, design. See here:

Now, do the characters contrast a bit too much with their surrounding environment? I don't want to venture into digital painting territory just yet. Uncanny valley isn't a destination I can hop over. So I hope to keep the characters this kind of line/style but the wolf to me looks a little flat. Therefore, I hope I can get an opinion on which looks better:

Left or right? Personally, the right looks a little too sketchy/unfinished for my taste but the left still rather flat. Any thoughts on how to reach a midpoint?

I think both look great, but I personally think that the second one looks more like a professional manga that could be in Shonen Jump. To be honest, if I didn't know better I would have thought it WAS a page from Shonen Jump!
Also, I love the amount of tone you're using. It's darker than some manga I've seen, but that's not a bad thing. I think you should leave it the way it is.

Wow thank you so much for your encouragement ^^ And phew , glad to hear I'm not too heavy handed with the tones. I'll keep doing my best smile

Personally, I like the second one that doesn't have boxes. I think it brings out the softness and shadows of your artwork beautifully, almost giving it a dreamlike quality.

(Hopefully that made sense!)

My advice probably won't be helpful to you since you asked how to reach a midpoint, but I like the wolf on the left. He (or she) doesn't look flat at all to me. I think the shading/colors on the wolf on the left looks better than the one on the right. It's... blended better, I guess is what I'm trying to say. I also don't think that your characters contrast too much with the background.
So in my opinion, I think your art looks great the way it is!

Thanks! I'm glad it looks okay either way. My comic is mainly for me to practice various styles haha so I'll probably end up using a bit of both and find out what I and my readers prefer.
