I decided a month ago that I was gonna make a manga. I came up with a story idea that got people jumping in their seats whenever I explained it. I was pretty confident in myself. I bought a tablet so that I could get started. Then today I decided to work on the characters. That’s when I realized a major problem. I’ve been drawing since I was in diapers. I’ve adjusted to drawing manga exactly the way I like it over the years. And I realized today that when I comes to the male and female characters I tend to draw them so differently that it looks like their drawn by different people.
The girl in the middle with that black hair is how I PREFER to draw girls. The guy at the bottom left with the scar on his cheek is how I PREFER to draw guys. I realized when I drew them that they didn’t match. So I drew the guy on the lower right corner to match the girl, and the girl on the top right corner to match the guy. It felt so awkward and unfamiliar to draw both characters gender in such different styles. But I feel like I have to pick one. The most appealing looking one is obviously the girl in the middle and her counterpart. But I hate the way the boy looks to be honest compared to how I like to draw boys. I got most of my inspiration for guys from older comic books so the more modern looking style of drawing men just doesn’t feel like it fits my vision. But likewise, drawing the girl in the top left corner also didn’t feel like it was something I liked to draw. I feel like both styles match my story so I guess I just can’t decide on which style to choose
