how do i learn to write characters with different voices?
i'd rather everything not sound like a 30 year old autist's monologue.

Read your dialogue out loud and listen to how it sounds, and adjust from there. Model voices after people you know and their speech patterns.

easiest way to do it is interact with different people, but if youre... in my situation best i can offer is reading books from different times or regions to contextualize this, same goes for movies

Little kids don't speak like adults. They don't have the same vocabulary and more prone to making grammatical mistakes, same with some older people. A lot of adults speak pretty similarly so unless they have a distinct style you don't have to worry about it so long as they aren't robotic.

Why the black wolf is the good one while the white wolf is the bad one when is always the opposite (and I didn't want to use the common trope). Then I learned how eyes starts to putrefy as soon as you die and it helped me in the plot.
some anons went on a deep dive on Pizza Time biology, and they created the theory that Gertha has a grapefruit pussy, or "Grussy", along with the confirmation that Pete has pepperoni nipples and probably a bent salami penis.
Try using words, dialects, and vocabulary levels you know a certain character would use. Copy from real life places, people and age groups. Example:
>”May you do this for King and Country, sire?” >”Git yer hide outta there!”
The former sentence is more formal and refined. The latter reads like it came from a more rural and rough tongue. And given that comics are a visual medium, you can play with font sizes too.
>shy character speaks in low voice, their words looking like gibberish or comically small in a speech bubble >loud character speaks with a bombastic voice that takes up the entire panel and maybe even bleeds out of it

Man I'm trying to post next slowpoke tomorrow but 6 pages left, and all chapters this close to the end make me way more anxious too.
>Thread Question: What was a plot point you thought of that was simply too wacky to make sense in the canon of your comic? There was gonna be a plot point about the reveal of Justin's mother and her antagonistic relationship with Justin's family. But I just found it too ridiculous, dumb and horrendous. So I scrapped that plot point, which in turn changed the mother's character completely.
Am almost done with the thumbnails for the first 3 upcoming chapters, so I can start working on the comic perhaps tonight already!
To get better at backgrounds, look at other examples of comics or find references to to draw. Using references isn’t cheating. You already have a somewhat alright understanding so far >buildings in front of other buildings >everything farther in the background starts to blend in with the atmosphere Something else, are you using some sort of graphic design program instead of a photo editing program to draw?

I main just used Photoshop CS6 in the past. The bulk of the work is done with Adobe Illustrator now (Which I haven't used since my university days.). It's way faster, so now I use Photoshop for things like sharpening lines, adding shading, and doing finer details like blurs and gradients.

>Thread Question: What was a plot point you thought of that was simply too wacky to make sense in the canon of your comic? An unironic training arc. Worry not however I've completely scrapped the idea.
That's a really difficult question to answer because there's countless methods about drawing backgrounds. But one thing is for certain you want to use references either from IRL or other artists you take inspiration from. Really analyze the environment and get it accurately, don't worry about stylization because that will come out no matter what.
I'd say you're already doing pretty good with them, desu. Regarding improvement, though, as one person already said, I'd say that looking at drawings, or especially photography, should definitely help.

>he hasn't even internalized symbolic representations lmao NEVER gmi
Whatever your shallow idea of integrity is means nothing in this world. Trace. Use references. Model 3D. Photobash. Draw furry. Draw coom. Draw yaoi. Anything to get paid because that's what really matters.
>it's functionally the same thing No. Saying so only demonstrates how little you understand, faggot >neither of you have imaginations because you don't have souls Imagine being autistic and thinking you have a soul. Kys
Lemme guess, you wanna see my bank statements for proof right? You can believe I make zero dollars, that I'm not even an artist and just stirring up shit, you'll still be wallowing in your sweet integrity without ever improving and that's enough for me
Connor Perry
>You can believe I make zero dollars, that I'm not even an artist and just stirring up shit wow i didn't even suggest any of that but now i'm really starting to suspect that is the case here
it was predicted last thread that this would happen
James Brooks
Your stuff seems to be doing pretty well on the webcomic sites. Congrats.
Parker Bennett
If you spend half the thread talking about the thread being shit and the other half responding to shitposter-kun, of course it's going to be shit.
Carson Price
Threads need a couple weeks off anyhow. Shake off the shitposters and let people actually work on their comics enough to bring something new to the table. It's worked in the past when threads reached critical mass shitposting
