    Your characters are the heart and soul of your manga.
    Beyond your male lead or female lead, you also want to think about the people that surround them.
    According to our mentor Rena Saiya who has over 20 years of PRO Mangaka experience, if you want to create unique characters it’s best to create your characters as a GROUP.
    That way you can better visualize the overall look of your cast and make sure no two characters look alike or are too similar.
    If you want to learn how to create the best lineup of characters for your manga story, then make sure to stick around until the end.

      I hope I can at-least get it done by the end of this year or the beginning of next year. If I can stop myself from rewriting everything. Also the art may not be great since I’m still a beginner. But thanks for the support

    The trick I did in making OCs is basing them from the people around me (freinds, classmates, siblings). Its kinda awkward at first because there are times that there are 2 or group of characters that gets along with another but the characters I based them on in real life don't even know each other. I kinda grew out of it later on.

    This video is like saying the sky is blue and the grass is green. No actual technical advice, but some pretty quotes and obvious tips, like "define you character's personality first before designing them" oh my gosh, I'd never thought of that! 🙄

    One thing I don’t feel like you touched on is where to differentiate a manga story from what came before. Genres have playbooks, but I don’t think readers want stories where they know what’s going to happen. And besides, would Naruto and One Piece really stand so strong if they weren’t so different from Dragon Ball? Wouldn’t you say it’s more important to understand audience expectations so that you can meet and surpass them?

    • @aphlearntodrawmanga
      @aphlearntodrawmanga  7 місяців тому +3

      Fair point! You’d definitely need to learn to be unique to become successful, but this video was made for beginners.
      For people who are just starting out, it’s a bit far fetched to expect to surpass these established titles right away.
      We believe in making goals realistic and taking it one step at a time.
      Studying the success of previous mangakas and being able to execute on effective visual storytelling is already challenging enough for someone who’s never made a manga before.
      Once you’ve hit that level, you can think about how to surpass it next.

    Ive watched multiple tutorials and they’re great, but i keep asking myself. How and why was this channel created? My hypothesis is that the Manga industry slowly wants to expand their number of foreign creators, i mean free consultation calls no patreon shill or a personal project you talk about. I think its a shot in the dark here

      We’ll be opening for consultation calls again in May or June next year and will be taking on new students then.
