With regard to a tip you've proposed; incorporating memorable features into our character designs. What process would be the most useful? To be more exact, what would be a method that would help us decide on features that click with the character?
Typically, I use some aspect of the characters backstory as a waystone. For example, one of my characters wears a long heavily beaded braid in his otherwise plain hair. Story wise, the braid designates the tribe he’s from in his homeland. Usually I find that pointing back to the characters’ story helps me pick the most interesting and authentic features. Hope that helps!! :)
@@LocalCentralist It doesn't necessarily have to. My strategy in this situation then becomes; I like this, it looks cool but is this a practical design that I won't mind drawing several dozen times per chapter? (assuming you're making a comic) 😅
@@FifiMangaka I see what you're getting at. It's not a bad idea to implement a memorable feature that looks cool, but the practicalities should be considered. I would like to create a comic sometime in the future, but I'm just absorbing information for character design 😄
@@idkWTCMCN there's no set in stone art style for manga, I've seen very realistic looking manga art that gives dc or marvel vibes, Eden it's an endless world by hiroki endo looks realistic, Their eyes are massive.
I love your art style! 🥰

@@FifiMangaka It does, but that leads into another question:
What if the features in question don't relate to their backstory? What then?

I don't think you're drawing a manga
Oh?
@@dark_nightwing_xl2797 tbh looks more like a comic book rather then a manga
