I have no trouble drawing faces on close ups but when it comes to full body they always look off sometimes, any tips for drawing small?

I’m not a writer, so my prose is simple. I already have someone lined up to flesh out the dialogue, but as I mentioned, I’m interested to hear what you think of the core concept I’ve come up with.

The story’s protagonist, Omnis, lives with her sister in a small village within the Abyss. Like all the villagers, Omnis belongs to a race of demons. She works as a florist, earning her living by cultivating flowers and selling them - sometimes locally, and sometimes in a small town a three-day journey from her home village.
The story begins as her sister (who needs a name) prepares to marry and undergo the "Merging." The Merging results in offspring, but it costs the lives of both the male and female demons who perform it. Omnis is deeply troubled and anxious for her sister; however, since this practice has been carried out by demons for thousands of years - and is the only way for them to produce offspring - it is considered a standard part of life. Thus, with a heavy heart, Omnis sees her sister off.
A couple of days before the Fusion, something highly unusual occurs: an elven airship arrives. Elves and demons have been at war for millennia, yet for this tiny village on the edge of the Abyss, the arrival of actual, living elves is unprecedented. Before the villagers can react, the leader of the elves - accompanied by his wife - speaks up. They explain that they have come in peace and, despite the eternal hatred between their races, are asking for help. Their young son is gravely ill, and only a treatment known to the demons can save him. After a long deliberation, the demons decide to assist. The village elder assures the elves that they will help, though it will take a few days to prepare the remedy.
A day passes. Omnis, her sister, and her sister’s fiancé get to know the elves. The encounter is icy; both sides harbor deep distrust and treat one another with extreme coldness. One of the elves mentions that demons have historically hunted and consumed members of other races - including elves - a fact that no one attempts to deny. In the end, Sister Omnis hopes for the best and that the conflict will soon be resolved.
Day two. Omnis meets the elves’ son and one of the crew members from their ship (an elf who needs a name). Unlike the other elves, he is more favorably disposed toward demons.
Day three. Ingredients for a medicine are running low. Omnis volunteers to retrieve more from a dangerous location, hoping that if she finds what is needed, the elves will leave sooner. The elf from the ship’s crew - the one she spoke with the day before - accompanies her. During their journey, they share a few conversations that foster, if not a friendship, at least a sense of mutual tolerance. It could be framed in a way that leads the player or reader to suspect a potential romance might develop between Omnis and the elf.
End of day three. Omnis and the elf return with the ingredients. The medicine is prepared, and the elven child begins to recover. Omnis is relieved that it is all over. Afterward, she has one final conversation with her sister, who is already prepared for the "Merging." Omnis asks to postpone the event until the elven outsiders have departed, but her sister insists that it must take place tonight at midnight. In tears, the sisters say their goodbyes. Omnis promises to look after her nieces and nephews, whoever they may turn out to be.
Early morning, day four. Omnis has been awake all night. Her sister and her betrothed have gone to a small cave on the outskirts to perform the Merging. In the morning, Omnis and the other residents head to the cave to welcome the newborns. Omnis asks the others to wait at the entrance so that she may be the first to greet the infants. Clarification: The fusion takes place while the demons are in their primordial form, and the resulting offspring are also born in this same primordial state. Thus, Omnis sees four small, black, blob-like creatures (in her own primordial form, Omnis appears as a black, viscous substance, and her nieces and nephews share this same appearance).
Overcome with joy, Omnis weeps and shelters the little creatures. Meanwhile, a commotion breaks out at the entrance: elves have arrived, driven by curiosity to see what is happening. An argument erupts between the elves and the demons. Omnis calls for calm, but in doing so, she loses sight of an elf child - one who had been healed just a day earlier. When Omnis turns back, she sees the boy crushing the black blobs, laughing and saying, "Ha-ha, living poop!"
Omnis smashes the elf boy’s head against a rock. A full-scale slaughter ensues between the elves and the demons, with the latter emerging victorious. Nearly all the elves are killed, though one survives, albeit wounded. Omnis recognizes him - it is the very same elf who had accompanied her on the quest for the cure. He looks at the demons and utters a single sentence: "Not all peoples have a right to a future."
Several days pass. Since that day, Omnis has neither eaten, drunk, nor slept. One of the settlers checks on her to see how she is faring; Omnis remains in a state of total apathy.
A couple of days later, the inhabitants see Omnis - now alert and full of life - preparing to leave the village. When the elder gently asks where she is headed, Omnis simply replies that she intends to destroy this world and everyone who lives in it. All demons know the legend that, at the bottom of the Abyss, there dwells a "Something" capable of granting any wish - provided the one who asks possesses a sufficiently strong will. Omnis says that she will ask the one who dwells at the heart of the Abyss to destroy this world, and then she departs. The Elder simply remarks that, no matter what Omnis may become along the way, she will always be able to return home.

Thoughts on this comix strip im working on? Suggestions? Let me know.

hello, I've never used reddit but I need design advise. I have no idea what font would suit my comic inspired by well known xix century polish novel. In what subreddit should I post? I think that I would need help making the comic in the future too.

Hello All, I'm going to be rewriting my manga so I'm looking for in depth critique. I want some brutally honest feedback. So if you're a nitpicker, please go right ahead. I'm used to getting feedback, especially on this comic so no need to feel bad. I do want to focus mostly on the story because that's what I need help with the most. Click here for the link to the full comic.

I'm still experimenting with sequential art, so if you have any constructive criticism please feel free to share!

Title self-explanatory. Pages for context unfinished. 4 panels will be a comedic tangent away from the main story and largely not cover anything important wheras I want the main story to still be dramatic and horror-esq. will this cheapen the main story or js it a lame gimmick?

Would anyone be interested in a comic book series where a detective solves problems from nursery rhymes and fairy tales just looking for opinions.

I'm a newbie here. This is my first post. Please review my manga and give me your honest opinions. It will be very helpful for me. I've been drawing for a month now and have managed to draw these 20 pages. I hope you can tell me is it good or bad or worst. Thank you very much.

Hello people! I am a young animator and artist, I sometimes post comic strips online, but I’ve been thinking I should make full comic books online for people to read. I first started making comics in 7th grade, took a year break, and got back into it late 8th grade, so its only been a year or maybe a couple of months since I’ve started making comics again (sorry I’m genuinely terrible at estimating time). Just want to ask what I need to know before making full on web comic books! The thing I am very afraid of is burnout, since I do animation at the same time (which is very time consuming), and also I have school, so that takes up my time too

Thanks for construcitve feedback!! I have now made a third version based on the feedback. Hope this works better?

Hello everyone! This is my first time on Reddit, and I am an artist who makes characters, illustrations, and comics.

If you require an artist for your project, feel free to shoot me a message.

Open for commission work.

I try adding some text for my drawing bcs I love character conversations. However, the overall look kinda weird. What do i do?

Heya!!! Tried to make the formatting and bubbles neater to read. Comics take a long ass time, but I’ve been having fun even though it’s been months for just two pages pff

I’d like to learn more from more experienced comic makers! Ways on how to work faster yet not diminish quality, critique on better formatting and pacing, donno. Lmk if the second page here is better than the first one I posted a bit ago, and what else i can improve

I want to make my comic go viral! 🚀

Does anyone have any tips or ideas that have worked for them when it comes to promoting their comics?

Making a comic is no easy task, so I really want people to discover my story, get hooked on it, and become invested in it.

I'd really appreciate any advice or help you can give me. 🙏🏽❤️

Hi everyone! I released the first chapter of my first-ever webcomic today, and I would really like some feedback/advice so I can continue to improve. I really think I could benefit from some opinions that aren't from friends/etc.

If there's anything you DO like as well, please tell me so I can keep it going! :)

Been writing this series for years and started teaching myself how to draw so I could finally see it come to life. I’m learning with every panel, every page, every chapter, and I’m aiming to keep that trend going indefinitely.

Setting

Set between two interconnected worlds; those who exist in the first one are all cursed to one day manifest unique marks/tattoos and transport to the other realm, a dangerous place where they’ll develop special powers and abilities. Everyone succumbs to this same fate, with only a handful ever being able to escape and return.

Prologue

Begins with a flashback twelve years ago with one of those extremely rare instances— a mother (Cynthia) has somehow managed to escape and return alongside her three children (Ashley, Riley, Marley), albeit at a cost and not for long. A mysterious threat has followed to bring them all back and Cynthia must face an impossible decision, an impossible sacrifice, to determine her family's future.

Key Characters

Cynthia - Very powerful individual, a mother who has used everything she has to give her children an opportunity

Ashley - The timid eldest daughter who must learn to brave the road ahead and take charge

Riley - The middle child who must aim to get stronger in order to protect her sisters

Marley - The youngest, who must find the light in all this darkness

The Masked Man - A mysterious card-wielding figure pursuing the family to bring them back to the trapped realm, someone who seems to have his own hidden agenda.

Naomi Suyranami - A natural leader in the cursed world, a prominent figure that somehow was able to leave the trapped realm. She made a promise to Cynthia

Focus

My goal is to keep visualizing the story I’ve been building over the years. I know I have a lot to learn and a lot to improve on, but I’m embracing it all going forward. And hopefully I’ll eventually have it in me to stop avoiding drawing my character’s feet lol (Curseborne is also a working title)

Let me know what you think overall:)

Hello! I’m seeking feedback on my first comic. It’s only two pages, though i’d love feedback on telling between the characters, composition (not entirely sure this is the right word, but the angle/how you’re seeing the characters) and anything else that feels necessary. Will be slightly re-doing the first page (the lineart and coloring) since i preferred the looks of the second page: ).

Some context: MC, Malachi, the dude with small ears is preparing for a sledding expedition. His father comes out and talks to him.
