Thank you, but I think for the comic it's maybe too messy after all (as you can see in the last panel).

I have made some simplified comics too, but it's 50/50 which style I like, because one is quick but requires more attention while drawing, another is slow to draw but with careful composition I can add much more details, "info" about characters and environment.

It naturally works better on single illustrations

Well I don't think it's messy at all !
And your drawingstyle reminds me of the drawing style of a friend of mine .

Thank you! Glad you liked this. And yes, it took about 5 hours to finish the model-version with pencil, and then i drew a new version with ink according to the pencil version. I dont even remember how long i spent time on that

It's not a easy task to draw a comic - i still prefer single pictures. I have even tried to draw manga-style comic, but it was a utter failure. That requires a great of sense of composition, not to mention how emotions and body language are in a big role. Someone can do it, like you do (O Meu Doce Amor), but i prefer to hide my character inside of helmets and armours...

Yes, comics can be a hard task, specially mangas But that doesn't mean one can't do it. Training is always the best and once one starts, it's not masterpieces that will come out in the begining. But training makes one improve, that's a thing to keep in mind Without training, I wouldn't be able to do half of what I do now

Hidding them inside helmets and armours is not going to rip expressions out of them. Just facial expressions, but there's the rest of the body to do the task

Thank you, I appreciate your comment. As you said,

"...if you want to focus on a character, make the highlights on them..."

is a thing I should pay more attention to. It's like I draw shadows over shadows, and characters simply get lost to the background. A good tip!

You're welcome! I have the same problem when working with the white of the paper as highlights. There's always the option of adding white (i.e. white ink?, opaque white paint), but not adding white seems so much cooler...

Yep, you are right. I found myself more sketching than actually drawing in that panel, and i almost ruined it. There should have been characters in the backround but i had to hide them.

There are several drawbacks in my "style" to draw. I love to add more and more details and try to make every piece of armour or clothing look "natural". Secondly i want characters to carry a real amount of stuff with them (backpacks, weapons, you name it), and then i want to include every thing the character carries t every panel. But if you're not careful enough, it will be fuzzy and unpleasant to look.

And sometimes i just forget that i shoulnt just sketch.

Thank you for the comment!
