Dear Community, I recently bought a wacom and I'm using affinity photo as drawing software. I am new to digital drawing so I struggle with a few things, for example the document-type I am going to use for a drawing. When I open a new document, I can choose some presettings for the layout (like HD+, FHD and QFHD). I can create my own settings as well. Which Layout do you usually use to create a comic page? I tried to draw a page with several panels, but when I zoom in one section to define some shapes and to create detail (like around the eyes), the resolution becomes a little bit grainy which makes it difficult for me to create some detail even though I used my HD+ layout (well I zoom in pretty far in the drawing to get tiny details. When I zoom out it looks fine, but it's still anoying while drawing). Do you have any recommendation on how to set the layout of the document? Thanks and greeting :) Moonless_Sky

Here’s a little dream sequence page I drew for my book. Thought I’d share it here.

I am assigned to draw a poster for this farming app https://techlarapoint.com/farming-simulator-16-mod-apk/. I am out of ideas and looking for some inspiration before I start working. Kindly recommend something.

Hello! I've posted something similar a while back, asking for advice on things like inventing poses and positioning bodies in perspective space, and asked which Proko courses were best for learning that, as I wanted to get into making my own comics. I was advised to focus on the Figure Drawing Fundamentals and the mannequinization section. But now that the course listings have expanded, is there anything else that people would recommend for the fundamentals? I have so many classes purchased here that the real challenge for me is finding direction to start learning, so any guidance is really appreciated.

I’m making a comic and I need feedback for these little characters that I did to try to create emotions, how did I do

Hello everyone I have confusion that when storyboarding where should focus most like for eg when storyboarding should we focus on art direction and details of the environment like how the hands are drawn and how the eyes are drawn and how the leaves are drawn should we focus on these things or should we focus on just the composition and storytelling I am confused please help me

I like the look of traditional watercolor of some comic book's artists and I'd like to achieve something similar digitally. I'm trying out some workflows and I was wondering if there are people out there also trying to do the same ! :) - What I'm currently doing is to create first a "light" background - Then I put some flat colors on a new layer in multiply mode - I add the shadows on a separate multiply layer - Finally I use a new lighten / color dodge layer to make the lights / effects I would love to hear and discuss your specific habits / tips / tricks / favorite brushes ! For now, it feels hard to have consistent results (not ideal for a whole comic page :/ ). And I don't know if it is CSP, but the watercolor brushes I use slow down my computer when I'm working with large brush sizes (and I don't think it is a computer spec issue) Any suggestion for improvement is also very much welcomed !

Hello. Trying to figure out how to spot the eye line in comic book pannels. I tried sketching (very poorly) and then placing a blue line where I think the eye line would be. Am I close? Source: Goldie Vance no12 Illustrated by Noah Hayes, Colored by Sarah Stern

I did the color sketch with airbrush and then scanned the image for re-touch/experiment in PS. I think I do a larger painting in some point. What do you think about the background white or red? Red version is the original airbrushed and white is digital version.

I consider myself a beginner and this was definitely a challenge and time demanding. Drawing the head was a big challenge, I struggle a lot with the features, measurements and etc. I also feel like I rushed it a lot, also I did not use reference for the face (which is a mistake imo), but I can say I took some inspiration from Greg Capullo’s head drawings. Drawing the proportions of the body felt easier than the face. I'm using "Figure drawing for all it's worth" and "Drawing comics the Marvel Way" as references for the basic anatomy and proportions. It's stated that the "heroic" proportion would be 8 to 9 heads tall, but my reference (Cbum) is only 7 1/3, give or take, and I did not know how to "translate" his proportions and features to 8 or 9 heads. The photo reference helped me a lot with the placement of the muscles on the upper body because of the size (you know, since CBum is CBum hahaha), the lower body in general feels off though, the legs are weird and round but I did not want to mess up the gesture by trying to fix it, I like his left calf and boot. I don't have much (near 0) knowledge about anatomy but sketching the gesture and comparing with measurements from the books helped a lot when I was constructing the figure. Another problem I had was the hands, I used the envelope method just to place them, but I couldn't do much after that, I sketched them somewhere else to practice, which helped to finish the drawing, since I did everything else before going to the hands. Again, feel free to critique!

Title says it all, it's about a ninja-turtle-like brazilian super hero, and I really need to finish it because it has a time restraint looking good is a necessity, but looking mid would be ok. I'm using references, skills, graphic design skills, Blender, all the jazz, the first one is illustraton 24, the second is an idea of how the cover is going to look like, a background is still yet to be done here, and the third is ilustration 29. I have a lot more and I can show them, if you'd like, I can show everything. but I'll keep up on these 3 first. Thanks beforehand.

can anyone help me with these pictures? I just wanted to know how to make them look as cartoony as possible, thanks!
