New Leadership Part 2 PAGE - 03 _ 02/02/2020 (Patreon)

PAGE 3! Yes I know it looks quite different. I hope you all forgive me this change but I think it's quite an improvement.

First things first, here is the dropbox link

Second is just for people, who want to know my thoughts about this new look.

In my vacation (late December) I had some time to look at my comic pages and think about why my pages look more like cartoons from a newpaper and not like a manga page. I think I use too many small panels and in the panels there is alot of empty room. It can still happen that a future page has more panels but from now, I will try to give each page a center panel, a "money shot".

A change in tools: For the last pages (and the comics before) I used Phtoshop and for some small effects I used clip studio paint. This page is fully done in clip studio paint. It took time to get used to it (and still getting used to it) but overall clip studio paint has alot of useful functions for making comic pages.

Like tools to help me build the page. This page was done in A4 (well about A4). Before, the pages were all over the place and all way bigger. Which has no real use than needing more power from my PC. This pages will never be printed in poster size so there is no point in making them so big. Future pages will have a way more consistent size.

One more thing that has nothing to do with clip studio paint, is that I will try to zoom less in. If you work digitally you can zoom in so much and work on super small details. 99% of normal user wouldn't see, if they look at the pic. Especially on a comic page with so much going on. That is just one more piece in my puzzle to make comic pages faster without making a quality difference (or even better, improve on it) .

Last this video inspired me a bit and gave me a lot to think of ^^
