Cuenta tu historia con un método manga

Hey Philip, thanks for showing me your manga!So you want to be a writer. But you failed at university and got really down about it. Still, you decided to persevere through self-study. You felt anxious, but managed to muster the resolve to keep going. Your story of using that failure as a springboard to push forward is brilliant – it really resonates with many readers and makes them want to cheer you on. It's a clear and very good story, but I'll offer my own suggestions for making it even clearer. First, panel G. Here, you seem fine, but if you failed, wouldn't it be better to show you looking more downcast? It would help readers understand your feelings more clearly if you showed that you lost heart at one point, but then resolved to push on alone without relying on the school. Next, the panels on the right page, ‘I, K, A’ and ‘J, L’, have very similar compositions. Drawing similar pictures can give readers a monotonous impression, so it's best to vary them where possible. For example, in panel K, how about showing you clutching your head, or slumped over your desk in despair? I'm rooting for your success. Keep creating stories.

Thanks so much for the response! I greatly appreciate all the advice and will put it into my work! The class gave me a lot of confidence in creating a manga story and I thank you for all the great knowledge.

A happy moment where after failure, I learn that I can still achieve something.
