If you wanted to make manga traditionally here are some of my first impressions on some of the tools I’ve picked up recently! As always, these are MY opinions/feelings on these tools so please leave room in your judgement for my own user error lol

There’s a coating on the nibs to prevent rust that effect how your ink flows so heating it up removes it!

You’re welcome!

It’s a light pad I got on Amazon! It’s pretty thin and not bulky so I use that in this video since it fit on my easel

Materials I used here:
Kuretake Nib Holder
ZEBRA GPEN Nib
Higgins drawing ink
IC Manuscript Paper
Copic White

Finally getting around to using my traditional manga materials 🙇🏻‍♀️ I’m starting a new series where I practice using things like dip pen and screentones while making fanart for shoujo mangaka I admire!

First up is: Princess Gloom and the Amorous Raven by Akira Osora published in LaLa Magazine!

Gonna ink and screentone this traditionally!

This week on TWOA podcast, my friend and mangaka Lucy
@opallines.bsky.social is back! She sits in the expert seat to discuss one of the shojo classics, Kimi ni Todoke!

We get into making shojo manga, why shy girls matter, fandom in the US and so much more!

Watch on YT and listen now!🔗⬇️

That’s all I’m saying 😭 if a statement didn’t apply to me why would I go through the trouble of QTing and going “nuh uh”!

It really is shifting the responsibility of finding things you like onto random strangers and expecting them to be chill with you making such a wild statement like that

Mind you…this all stemmed from people admitting in multiple tweets that they like to control the narrative through shipping so having couples be “predecided” for you in a romance story feels boring to them for that reason.

If you know that about yourself then why…😭

Why are people so damn high strung 😭 literally being like “Uh!! Or maybe it’s just boring and predictable!!!”

You’ve read or watched every romance to say that??? Sounds like you just watch or read what’s popular in ever declining age of cooperate slop media and don’t look on your own bc I’m chillin

this absolute nonsense.

Me saying romance media can scare people who can confront feelings of vulnerability bc of the sincerity of that romance has thru screens of action or just “plot” DOES NOT mean you are too stupid or emotionally stunted or I’m better than you etc etc

Romance has historical precedent for being targeted as drivel for women for literal centuries at this point and yes— a lot of it can be poorly written as can any book be

But calling it “boring” or “predictable” as a sweeping statement instead of being specific about which ones is what’s causing—

Twitter is such a cess pool. You make ONE observation that you know for a fact applies to some people and everyone assumes you’re chastising them 😭😭

I PROMISE you!!! I genuinely do not care wtf you read or find boring or whatever but when you say a genre as a WHOLE and is badly written slop ???

TO BE CLEAR!!! I mean those creators who are like ,,, DID YOU KNOW that random character a likes random character b????

Like…yeah I did thank you

I think I severely underestimated how much fandom is just….fans. Like a very few are fan artists, fanfic writers, or just people who create things

I don’t mind anime and manga commentary people but wow they’ve boomed while I wasn’t paying attention. I need to get out of my art circles more 😭

???!!??? PLEASE 😭😭❤️❤️❤️

I feel like I grew stronger after reading that omg ((in all serious I would love to see you draw some stuff it would be fun ;-;))

FINN!!!!! 😭❤️❤️

That’s reality 😭

I’m someone that when I get really into a piece I want to work on it until it’s done. Thank you though ❤️

My day job is preventing me from finishing this today arrgghhh
