Hamthology Vol. 2

Sometime last week I read that one good thing to do to get into a field (in the article gives programming in PHP as an example) is to start a blog about what you do in that field. Now, I want to get into manga drawing further; so probably I will convert this blog somewhat to be partially about drawing.

And speaking about drawing, right now I'm drawing for Hamthology volume 2. I drew a 7-page story for Hamthology vol 1. Doubling the page count is not that bad; the bigger obstacle I found is multiple characters and speech bubbles (the short story I drew was single-character without dialog). I keep forgetting how to draw characters. This means that when I draw, say, Edward Elric, my drawing looks different from him. Or make him look too young.
Another new thing I'm trying to get a hang of is speech bubbles. I was too used to planning a panel to be filled with a scene and ended up with panels that are so full that speech bubbles simply don't fit in.

In addition to Hamthology, I also want to submit an entry for Pepper Project. No clear idea about what I'll draw yet, but it should be something about posing (something I need to practice on).
