Shanashie 39 August 11, 2013 Share August 11, 2013 Hello everyone, Shanashie Doodlebug here asking for a little advice from anyone free grey matter to donate. A little while back I started up a tumbler comic as a bit of experimentation. Each panel was a little different and tested new backgrounds or sketch details to see what suited the overall thing. When my PC exploded it kinda got shelved, but I'd like to bring it back to life. However I'm at something of a loss on how to proceed; which style of production I should use for the comic's appearance? If it's okay with everyone, I'd bung a few of the more diverse panels up here to get some opinions. Any comment will help, even just stating what you particularly like or dislike about them. Suggestions for improvements or stylistic changes would be brilliant and highlighting particular areas where I need to improve even better. Thanks for everyone's time and keep doodling my fellow artists! Full colour and shade (takes FOREVER) Block shaded background, colour models Pastel wash background with greater detail. Hand writen speech. No colour background, some simple shading. Colour figures, Text speech. Full pencil shading, no colour. Text speech with colour indication for character. (fave so far, but that bee-course I lazee.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 777 August 12, 2013 Share August 12, 2013 It's not what kind of style others would prefer but what you enjoy and wish to do at the end of the day. Art is, in my opinion, all about experimenting and finding new processes and styles which you'll take pleasure in. If you force a style which you personally don't like only to please the audience then you'll most likely lose interest in continuing the comic somewhere down the road. If you really wanted me to choose I'd say the last panel because that's what you like the most. My "last" suggestion would be to think about playing around with greyscale when you want to bring in a richer range of values. Do what you enjoy and don't let other dictate what you should and shouldn't draw. But most importantly, have fun ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ If you do not GO after what you want, you'll never have it. If you do not ASK, the answer will always be NO.

Orablanco Account 3,707 August 12, 2013 Share August 12, 2013 The last panel's style looks great even without the color. If you wanted to, you could use a different color stroke for each character, like this. But in the end, it's whatever you think works best for you. Onwards to my DeviantArt page!
