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
from mr_shanab
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!
Manga Journey update: I am recommended for a job!
from Creekside Artists
I was just offered a proposal by http://digitalstrips.com/ to be one of their Manga bloggers for their website!
And they are going to give me some money as an incentive or appreciation when I blog for them! However, nothing is decided by both parties yet so I can’t comment any more than this.
Yet I am truly overjoyed when my manga-journey blog is recognized!
What does this mean?
What is important is not the amount of money that I can get out of blogging, but what it truly important is that when you put your heart and soul onto your dreams, be in your own manga or webcomic journey, there will be others that will recognize you!
I hope this will encourage all those who are daring to do webcomics or manga as part of their vision.
Spread the word!
