hello everyone, this is the first time I post here, I'm starting in digital art, I've been practicing seriously for a year, and I'm making comics, not because I want to dedicate myself to it, but because it seems like a good way to practice, since it forces you to think about several aspects simultaneously, I leave you here some images of the last comic I did, I hope you will give me your feedback.

Hey, @yassin benz, cool stuff!
One thing that quickly stands out to me as a strength in your work is the way youâre handling values and textures - as I see it, theyâre being used in ways that create nice, balanced visual hierarchies which make the reading clear and contribute to the whole of the compositions both in individual panels and in overall pages.
As a suggestion (and this might be just my personal taste), Iâd say perhaps you could play a bit more with graphic design elements such as the frames, the speech bubbles and the text? The way youâre doing is fine, but, personally, I often like to think that the artistâs personality can extrapolate the drawings and fill up the entire work in a comic page when we have creative freedom for such. For example, maybe the frames could have more variations in shape and layout besides juxtaposed rectangles? Or perhaps the speech bubbles and lettering styles could reflect the nature of each voice or way of speaking - like maybe the creatureâs voice would have a lettering style or speech bubble design different from the humansâ voice? Just a few thoughts.
I think itâs great that youâre making comics, and I see your point about how comics require an âorchestrationâ of multiple aspects at once. But since making comics also take a ton of work, Iâm curious about what it is that youâd like to dedicate your art to (if not comics), and Iâd love to know about how exactly you believe making comics might contribute to this other thing (or things).
Keep up the good work!
