A lot of new decisions have been made on this page.
To keep track of the stuff I tried and changed, I'm gonna add a changelog to some pages, so I and you can track my experiments on this test comic series.

Still a long way ahead of me but I think that I'm slowly getting the necessary knowledge to start a webcomic.

changelog:

1- much smaller font - I started from the size of 12 and moved to the size of 6 so I can put more text on the page, while still keeping it readable.

2- removed borders - I studied other comics and discovered that I need much more space to draw characters so they won't change into pixel art. It will also help me in drawing better backgrounds.

3- resigned from whole characters on small panels - Same as above, I need more space to draw a character not to make them pixel art. Tho I still need to find a way to draw multiple, whole characters. Maybe some small body, big head version of characters?

4- panel construction - Changes rather easy to spot when compared to the first pages, still need to find a way to make them clear. Maybe white stripes to help separate important panels on the page?

5- smaller lineart - I want to make my lineart smaller and less attention-grabbing and with a smaller lineart I will unlock more space for more colors.

6- highlights and other light tricks - I discovered that I can use lineart as another medium to show the light effects on the characters. It's a first but definitely not the last page with colored lineart.

7- shadows - This is a hard topic and you can see on previous pages that background is my biggest test field for this. I want to keep characters with simple shadows so they can contrast with the background. Still testing.

8- making it into a gif or maybe another format? - gif has a bad quality and has a limited color pallet but is replaying constantly. Other formats can keep the whole color palette but they are basically small films.

9- new software - So far I have worked on Krita but now I have moved to CSP. I will need to get used to the new software but I can already see a lot of new useful tricks and options. Another great thing is that it offers much better support for the comic format.
