Pro-tip Lineup #1

Hey kiddos, Shahrabi said I could join on this train so here I am. If there's one thing webcomic creators hate more than unbridled hatred towards their creations, it's polite and constructive critique. So instead of doing either of those things, I'm going to give everybody whom Shahrabi writes about a single, simple tip each on how to easily improve their webcomic. Simple and easy means it'll take practically no time for me to write and you to possibly enact. Which would be nice, since I doubt you're just going to take Shahrabi's advice and delete everything.

Okay here we go.


Tealya: Use thinner lines when drawing your comic - it won't take much effort but it'll make a huge difference in the final product. Also, try fiddling around with using deeper shadows, to make your characters look more 3-dimensional. And never forget where your light source is.

Aakashi: god there's so much wrong with your art that I Use thinner lines too! Especially for the eyes - remember that facial features generally use thinner lines than body outlines and stuff. And maybe put in more detail into your backgrounds so they don't get lost behind the characters.

Wraith: Make sure you give each character their own voice - right now it seems each character merely exists to deliver some sort of weak punchline. Honestly, I have no idea what sort of person your main character is, let alone the others. It all seems to blend depending on the situation.


Not like any of those guys read it, but you know, whatever. Maybe somebody else can get some knowings outta this.
