Do any you draw webcomicsand can any of you crit me gtgt
I recently started up on drawing comics again [newspaper strips don't count IMO because I get like a ..5 panel limit lmao]
It's called 'lotus lullaby' ->www.lotuslullaby.smackjeeves.com
I was just wondering, if any of you get interested in the comic enough to follow the story as I update, could I get critiques as the comic progresses? Not just nice things, I want constructive comments! Lol stuff like paneling and narration in general is still hard for me. T_T Also, my style gets pretty obscure and I want people to keep me in check so content isn't sacrificed for stylistic preference haha.
And lol if any of you use smackjeeves please tell me how to edit pre-existing comic pages T_T() I can't seem to edit from the 'manage webcomics' section.
And you guys should try comic-drawing. :O It's actually really good exercise because you have to practice gestures/facial expressions/backgrounds/perspective. Seriously I've had to draw so many backgrounds OTL
edit:..lol I guess brackets are not allowed in titles..

[quote=geegeet]I like the style you used ( Is there only one page?) I know a lot of people who reuse background scenes....like they make a large bg file and cut and paste snippets from it for panels. Saves a lot of time when you're having conversation scenes or you use a location often.
I actually intern with an illustrator and we're partners right now on a graphic novel :>![/quote] Lol there's like..one more uploaded here http://twinklefish.tumblr.com/tagged/comic you have to scroll a bit down. Thanks for the bg tip! I never thought of that...that's really useful. O.O Are you drawing parts of the graphic novel? :O
@Hanate: Ooh yeah but what always confused me is how do you get more traffic via your own site? Because on smackjeeves there's already a community of people that frequent the site so there's a guarantee that you will receive feedback of some sort. While as on a site/blog wouldn't it be harder to get an audience since you're not posting in a community-type site, but rather you own so wouldn't traffic be much smaller? o.o
