Use them extremely sparingly. I've used them now and then for skies, and also for stuff like oceans receding into the distance.

Is there any point to this weird-rear end digital vs physical argument? There's an awful lot of words being posted that seem to amount to 'I don't like it'. Newspaper cartoonists are working full time and doing lazy-rear end stuff. There's web-toons that update daily that achieve quality better than most newspaper stuff. Look at SSSS for example. Or look at John Allison, who does SGR and a bunch of other stuff simultaneously. EDIT: VVV and it is? Fangz fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Jun 7, 2018 |

You can use as many or as few panels as you like. People usually end up upping the panel count because they get frustrated with how much each update is advancing the story.

Is that text spoken dialogue? Because right now it reads as narration.

It's basically just one joke contrasting the main character's somewhat over the top reactions and the friend's matter of fact ones. If you tone down the reactions it just gets longer and more tedious. IMO the comic is fine. Could be a bit more artistically ambitious but fundamentally okay for what it is. also anime is good, gently caress the haters

Depends on how much you paint or write. I really don't advocate spending on expensive materials because for me at least I find that it makes me super precious about not 'wasting' it and actively discourages me from doing art.

quote:I've heard this advice before, and it doesn't make any sense to me - unless your story is designed to be never-ending, surely you need to know where you're going so you can make the story cohesive? Not to mention redrafting the start to fit with the ending better, drop in some nice foreshadowing, etc. It depends on how you see 'too far out' and also 'plot your story'. I tend to have the general structure of the story planned out but only in a very loose form. The point I find with too-planned out story is that it's hard to hit a point where the story is both clear in terms of how one thing leads to another, and isn't too *obvious* in terms of well, X is inevitably going to happen. It can feel intensely artificial if you are drawing a page to lead to the next pre-determined Event, especially if your story is very character led. My personal sneaky trick with foreshadowing is dropping in elements that *might* be picked up later but might also be left off as just one-off jokes that people just forget about. EDIT: Unrelatedly, what do people think about this video, that showed up in my youtube recs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNHzLFIZs1s Especially asking folks like Reiley...

Argue posted:This might have been my imagination, but didn't Clip Studio have a feature that put all the text on a page in boxes in some kind of toolbar, so that you can edit the contents of the text by just tabbing through textboxes instead of having to find them on the page and clicking them with the text tool selected each time? Or is my memory playing tricks on me? That's an CSP EX feature.

I don't really understand what you mean or expect. You can have text in multiple layers and it'll appear all together in the story editor. Or you can type directly into the story editor and it'll all be in the same layer, but each paragraph will be in a different text element in the layer so you can reposition them individually. Make sure you press enter twice so each text segment is in its own 'box'. https://www.clipstudio.net/view/img/en/functions/csp138_02b.png The point of having it all in the same layer is so you can do stuff that affects all the text on the layer, e.g. apply colours, outlines, stuff like that. To move the segments in the layer individually use the Operation tool. (You use this to also move around stuff like rulers) https://www.clip-studio.com/site/gd_en/csp/userguide/csp_userguide/510_tool/510_tool_operation.htm Fangz fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Sep 24, 2018 |

Fruity20 posted:i'm getting around to doing a comic after the ones i did died in a matter of weeks. how did you guys manage to remain passionate in making webcomics? everytime i tried to get a project done, all sense passion is sucked away and replaced with a feeling that this is one of those boring office jobs. Stuff that worked for me: 1. Don't make your comic too long. 2. Make sure there is something fun to draw on every page. 3. Don't dither too much, just do it

How big is the text on your comic? I go with about 940px in width, 1300 in height.
