I've been pretty happy with my practice comics so far, but I've still got a lot to do and a lot to learn. For my next batch, I want to keep using the characters I've already developed, but I want to expand on the location. I need to do a bit more world-building- but more on that later.
First up, I need to try playing with character designs, to get comfortable and grow as an artist. I need to work on what works and what doesn't. Unfortunately, Shiori's design needs some work. The main problem is the hairstyle I drew her with. Put simply, it doesn't really work. It doesn't have the natural flow or form I need for drawing. I don't want to stop drawing the character, but her hairstyle just doesn't work. As a result, I've done some adjustment to her hairstyle- I'll be posting a picture soon. I also did some other tweaks to her design to make it work better in my comics.
Anyhow, progress ahoy. I know that redesigns can be controversial, but I haven't really drawn all that much of my original characters so far. It's not like I'm changing them after drawing hundreds of comic pages. Also, I'm not changing any personalities, just some design work.
