Description
Reads right to left, manga style. Characters including Shizuha Aki w/o hat, and Minoriko Aki from Touhou. I only personally presume that Shizuha, as an imouto would call out her sister, Riko to display a more intimate relationship.Trying to make a comic for first time. It was painstaking compared to a regular illustration. Maybe I should've stick with grays. OTL
Hope experienced ones could give out pointers, especially in panel usage.

edit: Spruced up the image abit. The leaves now look alot more believable, no?

Don't be discouraged, all you need is practice. I'm still not getting there as well. Every time I draw is a good practice for me. Good luck!

Neat and nicely done, although I bear with the fact that comic panels in colors are so much painstaking.
Trying to tone them in grayscale is equally painful as well, I gave up after too much hours spent on three panels and yet still not producing satisfactory results (to my liking).

I think Imperishable Night might be a better touhou to start with. It's much easier than others.

Maybe gray tones are much easier. Coloring manga is too time consuming.

I think it is better to do it colour and then grayscale it later

Except for the base skin colors, they must be left white. Else an intended fair skin will appear dark when grayscaled.

It'll be fine if you take it slowly. I'm learning Japanese as well.
The education system in my country forces us to learn 2 languages in school, the other being Malay. Thats how I ended up speaking multiple languages, but none of them are at native level ._.

Yes... I'm getting there :3 This is my fifth year taking French, so it's not like I can't understand speech or text in French
I would love to learn Japanese... I can understand a ~little~ and have almost entirely memorized the Hiragana and Katakana scripts. If they offer it at whatever college I end up going to in a few years, I'd love to actually learn it
The educational system here in the USA doesn't make you learn any languages, but it's highly recommended since a lot of colleges look for people who have experience with foreign languages, and there is an increasing part of the population that speaks two languages (mostly Spanish-speaking immigrants, it seems, though I don't really have much interest in learning Spanish at all XD).

Yes, the companies are going after grads that are able to converse in multiple languages these days.
