Manga Journey: Intro to Inking
I just tried inking with my manga teacher from my previous lesson, and it is really alot of things to learn again!
Anyway, what I am introducing here is traditional manga inking, and not digital inking where you use digital tools like Manga Studio or Adobe Photoshop. I wanted to know inking from the traditional perspective before going into digital mode.
Seriously, after going through my inking lessons, learning how to create manga comics seems to be no end; but let me share with you my journey so that you are mentally prepared for it.
Manga News: Ane Doki just got axed!
series by Mizuki Kawashita
Ane Doki, a manga series that I have been following, just got axed by Shonen Jump!
It is said that the series was having bad ratings in Japan, and hence the publisher decided to axe this series.
That’s the world of manga in Japan; although you get to be very famous and your comic may never look like ending, like One Piece who has been running for more than 10 years, yet the downside of it is that your manga series can be easily axed when your comic isn’t favored by the community.
I am slightly disappointed that they didn’t continue with Ane Doki, which was getting interesting with the development.
How to draw people: comic photo reference resources

In my previous post, Pencil sketching examples 2: how to draw manga tutorials, I shared about how you can use photo references to help you draw and improve on our artwork.
And one of the major assignments from my manga teacher was to look for photo references to aid me in my drawing.
While searching, I chanced upon some really good photo references resources that I am going to share with you about!
Spread the word!
