What i Like About Manga

Manga is the Japanese style of comics, its definition like all definitions is all loose...Tezuka's work is the standard definition of Manga now.....

what i love about Manga is the simplistic style of story telling..and how the storytellers head never goes up his/her ass...

they'll have simple frames with the basic crosshatching...or just the bare minimal shading..

like this page from Tezuka's Buddha

and then they'll have some establishing double page spreads...which will be worth all the effort...

That's the approach i like, why waste time around drawing details into every frame, say if the whople scene is set in a single place...why waste the time drawing the whole scene again and again??

especially if you're the writer cum illustrator...

Manga Baby....
