Hello! This is my experience as a comic maker, feel free to send me your feedback to Gmail or any of my social media accounts. Just google shimettamasuta.

 

STEP 1: Define your characters!

Yes, this is the most important step on my comic development. You have to define your OC in a detailed way: Age, blood type, likes, color scheme and such.

STEP 2: Your story, your universe!

It sounds megalomaniac, but is true: You are god on your canvas, on your story. And NO ONE should tell you what to do or how! (On this case, I'm just giving you guides, but you can do it as you please )

STEP 3: Page sketching!

This step allows you to build a good page, so readers can enjoy it properly.

This means: You can play with vignettes composition, text globes, onomatopoeia distribution and such.

 

STEP 3: Sketching the sketch!

You have a good page which you love how it looks (This is ultra important)

Now what you have to do is to apply pencils on your rough sketch. To make a sketch (without the rough thingy) Then you are ready for the inking process.

 

Inking is easy, once you have the hard stuff done (characters, script, composition) So now the only thing to do is to use your weapon of preference. I use a custom brush which allows me to make very thin lines or thicc ones.

STEP 4 (or 5? it wasn't 3??)

Well, this is the most fun step to me. You can experiment here with assets downloaded from the hub or make your own. I use a lot of materials from the community in this case.

At the end you should have something like this:

Remember: This is just a 'list' to give you the general idea for the process of making a manga page. I'll upload more detailed tutorials soon!

This time with a good explanation of each step.

What if i want to add color??

So that's it! This is the process on all my pages.

Some stuff to take care of: Documentation, this is important, so your story's lore will be credible and acceptable. But you can mix more genres, eras and such. This world is yours and you are free to build it at your own will.
