This is the method I use to structure my doujins. It doesn't necessarily mean that it has to work for everybody, you always must choose the method that suits you best ^^ Experience has taught me that I ALWAYS must write all ideas I suddenly come up with! The more number of ideas you write, the better will be for your doujinshi story. (I used to miss a LOT of wonderful ideas when I didn't write them). I NEVER apply this method to ALL doujin pages at the same time, but a group of pages (in this tutorial you can see that I only did it with my doujin intro), since I always could change my mind and edit some dialogues/situations. If Iām planning to make a manga/comic for SALE, I NEVER shade/screentone after finishing the lineart of a page or a group of pages, I prefer to wait until Iām completely done with the lineart of ALL the manga/comic since my style is constantly changing. This way people will see uniformity in your manga/comic, not a collage of different styles (I must stress that this was one of the main reasons why I ended up abandoning a few doujins in the past).Without further ado I hope'll find this handy. And remember, always choose the method that suits you best! ^^

Many people seem to come with ideas at night. I wonder why is that. : o

If you're really curious, it's because night is typically when people have been awake the longest, leaving them in a state similar to having a low alcohol level. Studies show that those with altered mental states often have creative breakthroughs during this time!
...I'm sorry, that was weird, but it's very interesting to me!

My question is, how do you KNOW that this one panel is "proper" for the ..situation? I mean, people go through rough drafts all the time, and you read manga about people who make manga or edit them, and they always say, "This panel is too this and this" or "Add this here, do a closeup, take this out" .. I mean, you're your only editor so I'm pretty sure you would be biased FOR your first completed draft.. but that's just me :/

Okay, so glad to see I'm going in a similar direction. Been ages since I've done a comic, and seeing your method match so closely to the one I've devised has given me greater confidence.

The text could do with being a little more legible, but otherwise nice work!
