    The story is great @shafnat but the way you typed it up males it hard for me to read. If you could go in and revise it so it lloks better, then Im sure more people would probablly be willing to take the time to read this. Not trying to be rude, Im just giving advice.

    @shafnat You've changed a lot since you started. You've created your own style of drawing and expanded on. You really stayed dedicated to drawing and you are consistent.

    But when looking at the way you draw your characters, you need to do something to make each one stand out a little more. Study some comic books or manga, each character has something unique about them. Try experimenting more on the expressions of the characters and less on the outfits.

    I would love to show you an example, but I have to prep college applications.

    And one more piece of advise. Don't restart your series to many times. sometimes you have to create new stories.

    So far since I can remember, the only story I see from you is "leaving the future". I want to see more stories from you. Try doing "one shot" series and show what your story style is. Because none will know your ability just on one story.

    P.s. I can't proofread what I wrote to you but I hop this advise will help

    Good luck on your drawings

    @shafnat I'm sorry

    My point wasn't exactly what I ment. I'm just saying do another story on the side and draw naked characters lololololillioolooool.

    Sorry

    Could you also show me the old and new things you did for the manga, cause Im giving these advises based on my memory. I may have not noticed the changes.

    @shafnat Actually, I'd suggest you do draw naked characters, or from naked people or whatever. You can improve your figure drawing a lot by doing this. You know, build from bottom up, draw bodies first, then clothes on top?

    Thanks for the backup @bleachedsnow

    Edit: it does help to draw naked people cause it gives a better idea of anatomy and flow. You don't have to draw the nude parts in detail, just enough to get a gooooooooooooood picture. It also looks really attractive, depending.
