Description
Inspired from 's My drawing Progress , I decided to post my own drawing process as well. I posted how I color... but never how I draw.The way I draw is more similar to an animator, it's built for speed. I mind less on the error when I draw, but use daily sketching, common sense and study to rule out errors. I find that to be more liberating for my drawing. So when I draw, or sketch out storyline for a manga, I just get the ideas out quickly.
I don't write for my manga. I draw them right away, like how they are in my mind. Words are secondary.

...so, you don't even draw the panels to begin with...what an incredible concept...I think that will help me immensely...at least I'm definitely going to have to try it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, i prefer to just focus on the story and the drawing for the start, and think about design elements on the page later.

It's just something that never even crossed my mind...I'm still kind of blown away by it.

I used to do panels first, and it turns out pretty restricting,
so I later just developed my own way to stay out of the box before I make one. lol~
Thanks for the watch btw.

This is a great reminder when I start scetching my manga

wow..I wish I could sketch like that. I'm still sketching cylinders and cubes for body parts. It doesn't make me very loose though. Any tips on that?

Nice, I was wondering, I have all these pages of my manga in pencil, should I scan it with gray scale and edit it on photoshop??? or do you think photo is better? (I have no experience with photoshop...)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Scaned images would work better than photograph because the lighting is more controled.

your story boards are way cooler then mine. I just use stick characters for the postioning so I dont forget the general poses 
Nice work

I have this!!!! ( I mean the 2 masters manga)
Did you draw more of it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
great...
how come it takes so long?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
because I love to give myself more than I can handle. XD I am still doing Edepth, portfolio pieces, sketching storylines for series, running the online hospital, on top of that trying to make short series to send to a magazine.
And this one is a 60 page manga, all in illustrative quality, it will take longer.

So thats how you work! Very nice of you to show it to us may ^^. Its quite interesting to see this since all of us only see the finished product. Its nice to see your scruffy style too(not saying that you are scruffy lol)

Thanks for posting this, I love artist "progressions", very informative. There's an appealing dynamism(?) even in your roughs that I like perhaps even a little more than the final manga.
Ah, quick sketches, I need to get back to that. 5 min poses man, bingo bango, next!

this is such a good idea. i like this a lot, i didn't realise how rough some of the manga can look without inhancments. i draw in a similar way, though it proberly isn't shown in my work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
i like it!
it shows how you work the rough out.... maybe i will make it similar with my stuffs.....
thx dear for that kind of information!

Nice, it's really interesting to see how other artists work too; especially when you're so good at what you do.

Wow what a process from the rough sketches of the comic to the finished page.
I usually eat like 3 rough pages before I find a layout I like for my comic

speedy drawings ey? I'll have to assimilate that more often when I draw my comics and my works, most times I'm to picky about how it looks even when I'm just drawing the sketleton of the figure DX that makese me sad when most of the time is spend on how the skeleton looks. I do like that you show how you go from Rouch > sketch > Finished, it acutally gives me a good idea of how I can avoid being so picky with my sketchings
I still don't get how people can do this...and I see a lot of these on da....Great job! And I agree. It's frustrating if you have this really good idea but don't have the materials. Then when you finally get it, you forget 0_0;
