Also, new page.
I wanted to add a Rush Hour quote on the first panel, but unfortunely couldn't remember ones, well, hope it's good anyway.
Kou's Arts Art and Comics, more comics than arts or whatevs.
Oh NO! The suspense is going to kill me!!

Hmm, I believe the easiest way to draw a pile of something (popcorn in this case), is to draw them bottom to top.
Draw the bottom layer of popcorn first, and then add layers on top of them, but behind. Did I explain myself clearly? Also, dont worry about making a perfect array. This is one of those cases where imperfection is better.
Did this ugly pic to illustrate the method better. The arrows indicate where you should start drawing them. The colors sort of indicate the layers.
Keep up the good work Kou! ^^

No problem, dood.
Man, I should make something like...
"Zoe Stellan's ugly tutorials. Short, useful but ugly tips!"

There's something weird about this style. It's clean. Maybe that's what bothers me.
Looks like this was drawn with curves with some vector graphics program.
Additionally
Panel...
1: "again again" → "again"
4: "If it makes you insist" → "if you insist"
6: Maybe "older" would work better here?
13: "didn't tried" → "didn't try"
14: "Who were you again?" sounds better to me
Actually now that I think of it this sorta reminds me of early QC pages, sans the colouring obviously

It's Paint.Net, kinda I scan the page I drew and later I scan it so later use Paint.Net to digitalize the page, since I don't have a tablet yet.
And thanks for the corrections, english is not my main language.
Also what sounds right? "Who are you again?" or "Who were you again?" ?

"English is not my main language" stopped being an issue for me at around fourteen years of age. It pretty much annoys me now when someone says that because it's not mine, either, and I find it extremely simple to write and understand.
(In fact, I find it so simple my typing speed in WPS doubles when I switch from Finnish to English! Normally the increase would be only a dozen words per second due to the length of Finnish words.)

Just because it was simple for you doesn't make it an excuse for other people. English is not my main language as well, but I had the advantage to learn it when I was in primary school - the age where people can learn multiple languages easily. Kou wasn't so fortunate, but he does try.

why is it that all your characters shoulders are so square? let them relax man. shoulders at the beginning of the neck should be drawn more downward, and then straight to show that the character has deltiod muscles.
Been drawing that for long time now, they are not sooo square.

As long as the corners aren't sharp, they aren't squares to me.

no ones shoulders are straight. unless they are tense.
oh wait i see what you thought i meant. actually i didn't mean literally square. your characters look like their shoulders are constantly tense. they should slope down from the neck

More or less defending Kou, it's the extent of his current abilities.
But don't let me discourage you from giving him critique, the more detailed you get the better he can improve.
Kou, your works are great so far and I hope you do try different tricks to become even greater.

Well, back to my drawing things, since I've been without internet for almost a week and some days I drew a bit.
Not easy to draw him this way.
Kinda easy this one.
Who don't like instant noodles, eh?
This one is for Ana or Knux the killer, it was her b-day, since she likes Agustus and they have the same b-day.

Well, many things happened, first my computer broke, and needed to buy a new motherboard and instal back some stuff. At least I finished the last page.
Well, I may take a small break from comic making and start with some drawings, I want to draw a bit better, if someone want to make request, be free to ask.
Also, I entered a small contest. I got second place at least.
And I didn't won anything

Very nice troll face in panel 4.
I wonder if it's just me, but I like your traditional pencil work better than your digital work. That Lucario is nice.
