Thanks for the help, guys. I'll stick with the cell-shading, I guess. And I noticed the too-dark clothes, So I'll fix that when I try it again. Thank you guys, love the help.

Oooh, I lovuh, lovuh, love the bold outlines and the grescaling. It works well with your comic. But I dont like the uh....little sketchies...inside the art. The lines?

I love this comic. The humor is very swwet and doesn't have any sharp edges. I epsecially like how the witch character isn't used as a plot device. She's just a normal person, and that's seems to be the main focus. Very good. I haven't been able to read all of it yet but what I've seen is well writt...

Well, since the published Manga is so popular, whether cliche or not, then that means it works . People see this great success and want to imitate it. I'm not saying that all webmanga is done by people who are greedy, they just want to try something that they know works. That's what I see, anyway. *...

I'll draw one nostril as a little line or curve with the nose. Not giant hole...That looks wierd on a cartoon. But those one stroke noses with no nostrils( anime-like) look wierd too. So I choose a middle ground. Unless I'm trying to be super realistic, or something...which I never am. But I don't h...

Using pen, for me. I always mess up and it's very time consuming. And then scanning it without it looking like mud. Ah. That bugs me. If only I could just draw it in pencil, then have it find it's way onto the internet without touching a computer.

I think the first style more bold. It makes the characters look good, I love the thickish lines, without making them look detached from the background. And it takes you 5 times as long? No, No, i don't think it's a good idea to color the lines. The colored lines make the bold lines that I like dissa...
