Making a graphic novel / manga

[graphicnovelist]

A clear improvement over the previous pages.

Here are some useful links and reading that may help you. I especially recommend the second link (scroll down a bit to get to the bit about composition and placement)

Thanks! I went though a part of it, but it was so much, that it can not be done in one session. I will go through more of it in the future.
I read the part about the line of action, I get the impression, that its not always good to have a strong line of action, it seems to me the stronger the line of action, the cartoonier the figure looks.
But its definitely something to experiment with.

Here we have the next page.

It has no improved techniques like leading the eye, not even good camera-placement, but I want to push the story a little bit, until I finally finish chapter 1 (which means page 20-30). I already lined up several pages in not-so-advanced-style.

Oh yeah, and here a little concept of the merchant.
