Alright, I'm trying to get a better handle on drawing manga and what better way to teach yourself then to look at mangas you love and try and give it a shot yourself?

Sorry about the title being so crappy and all, just that I don't know what to call these lil pages. Mmm... ok, these next 8-10ish pages are based off a Rurouni Kenshin fanfic I'm reading called "The Courtship of Lady Tokio"( [link] ) by one Misaki Toyodome. It's one well thought out and beautifuly written fic. and pretty long... very long (not for the faint of heart). I'm so mezmorised by the way story is going, you can tell that the author put a LOT of time and effort into what she's writting and even took the time to look historical facts up.

Anywho, back to ranting about me ^_^
Like I said, I'm giving manga-style art a shot and am practicing... just messing around to get the hang of it. It's pretty fun, even if it take forever to ink a single page. I think I've got the basics down and just need to work in more angles and stuff like that into it. Unfortunately, this perticular segmant doesn't call for anything too dramatic... just two guys hanging out on roof tops and spying on nobility. The tones (if thats what you'd like to call them) are just me messing around with simple features in Photoshop and getting a fee for that as well. What do you guys think I need to fix up/ improve? Don't be shy, tear me to shreads with your thoughts... thats one of the best ways I'll know what to work on. Oh, yes... this is read English wise... panels & bubbles...
