Manga Comics: Narrative, Rhythm, and Composition

“Before we say goodbye, let's review the key phases of the project. It would be great if you briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. Your universe Create a universe in which to develop your manga by defining the story and its main elements.

Structure Then distribute the key information among the pages that the chapter will have.

Add the dialogues, the vignettes and draw them at an understandable level, which we call "nemu".

Now share your final project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your manga and the steps that have led you to it. It sure is amazing! I am looking forward to seeing your project and giving you feedback. Although I ask for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. See you on the forum!”
