Using our previous sketches as guides and the reference photos as inspiration for our designs it's finally time to draw the pencil draft!
Usually the first page of a manga acts has the purpose of introducing the readers to your story.
A great way to achieve this is by presenting the location where your story takes place.
You can do so by showing a long shot of the whole scenery as in image A.
Or you can break it into pieces and use a series of small panels to show „still life“ pictures (image B).
By showing only a few select details the feeling of „being there“ and looking around can be even intensified.
