I actually sometimes think I'm too lazy with my comic pages and even if I spot mistakes, I don't correct them to draw other pages I'll just have to make the writing so good that you forget the wonky faces/hands/whatever

yeh still same, I color pick from background and then if needed, use Hue/Saturation to change to whatever looks right (usually white areas get a diff color for variety)
Replying to @hakeism
Hey uh quick question what if the lighting ISNT blue. I assume color match is the same no matter what? I just know some color layers act weird depending on what color you use

物語のアイデアは「ゼロから生む」より「構造を持ってくる」ほうが早い。 『こち亀』と『ドラえもん』は内容こそ違うが、「主人公が問題を起こし、相棒が解決する」という骨格は同じ。名作から学ぶべきは表層のネタではなく、この繰り返せる型。 机に向かっていると「何も思いつかない」と焦るが、実は構造さえ決まれば中身は後からいくらでも入れ替えられる。料理と同じで、レシピがあれば材料を変えても成立する。 独創性は構造ではなく、そこに何を入れるかで生まれるということだと思います。

I think I'm incapable of drawing symmetric mouths they look wrong unless they're lopsided

discourse about using 3D models on my tl again and I gotta wonder why these people never have the same moral panic over using the layer modes, hue/saturation, level adjustments, and such

Kishimoto's art is truly goated, the more I improve as an artist myself the more I appreciate just how incredible his work really is his sense of form is so damn solid
Kishimoto is drawing a new manga about period between Naruto shippuden and Boruto. And we even see baby Sarada Goat back to save shonen jump

wrecked my brain for 2 wks to develop a chapter that I felt hit all the major plot/character stuff it needed, just to be told it's too complicated and hard to read so gotta start from scratch

Brain Alive volume 1 is going to be published in physical format early December 2026 in Japan. It is a Japanese version but you can order it now with global shipping and a special illustration that is just in this edition. As any new manga the initial sales are very important for the long term success of the serialization, so I would really appreciate if you could consider buying it now. Link to the Kadokawa direct store: store.kadokawa.co.jp/shop/g/… (Below the promo images I commissioned some time ago).
