Thanks, Kaiyou! <3 I appreciate your encouragement!
Thanks for your question, Ki! I'll create a new thread "Tutorial" for angles, and I'll walk you guys through my process! I'm still kind of an amateur at story pacing, but I'll try and do my best! (Should I post a tutorial in my thread, or the Manga-making chat thread?)
But like Kaiyou said, imagine that you're the camera... what's the best view for the action that you want to generate. That's also kind of how I do it. If I have problems visualizing it, I draw small thumbnails or sketches of a scene, and compare which one works best. Sometimes I reference existing manga, look for poses on the internet (be very careful when searching for images!), or look at a camera angle in a movie. Searching for inspiration and reference is an important step for me! Actually, there's a fantastic website full of rotating poses that I find helpful when I'm trying to draw forced perspective and angles! You guys can check it out:
www.posemaniacs.comWith drawing, generally the things that are closer to you are bigger, where as things that are farther away are drawn smaller. (Also known as FORESHORTENING). I'll go into detail if you guys want a full tutorial, cause I don't want to make this post too long and painful!
