Background and composition

Hello everyone!

Recently I was able to finally start working on my first manga. However, I still seem to have some issues when it comes to the background of the panels and composition inside the panel. Do you have any tips and advice regarding this matter for a beginner mangaka?

Thank you in advance.

I need help creating a manga

So, me and my friends are creating a manga. It has a good story, but we're in the planning out phase(we have a rough idea and storyboard). We know what we have to do, we know we need folly artists, animators, all that. We're planning on doing most animating and all that stuff ourselves, but we'll still need help and all that. I just wanna know if there's any good resources we could make use of. Like, we don't really know how to make names for the characters, and their personalities etc, overall we're a bit lost . So, are there any resources we can make avail of? Free please.

If it helps, we're all 16 to 17, and we know it's gonna take us a long time, and we're willing to put in the time, and we're willing to put in the money, and we're gonna recruit people along the way, but we're just gonna make the story and basically like, do a bit of stuff ourselves, and then once we do need to, we'll hire people, we wanna not spend money for a bit to save money and all , the idea was mine and one other friends and we then recruited 2more friends, me and the other friend are willing to spend as much time as it takes.

Hi everyone! I want to share with you my submission to KADOKAWA's Manga World contest. I barely managed to finish it, because I didn't know about the contest until a month ago, so I was on a really tight deadline, but I did it!

Any constructive criticism is highly appreciated, although keep in mind this was made in a dumb'd down artstyle as time was of the essence. Hope you guys like it!

I’ve been having lots of trouble when naming my characters cause I feel like a can’t come up with unique but still basic like 4-8 letter names (Examples: Goku, Deku, Yuji, Denji, Goj, Akira)

ATTENTION ALL MANGA ARTISTS

Looking to Recruit Manga Artists for a New Series (Inspired by Naruto/JJK)

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a manga project and I’m looking for talented artists who’d be interested in collaborating. I already have the core story, characters, and world planned out. The vibe is heavily inspired by battle shonen like Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen, with a mix of action, powers, and character-driven storytelling.

Right now, I’m mainly looking for:

- Manga artists (paneling, character design, action scenes)

- People who are passionate about building something long-term

About the project:

- Original story with a structured plot already written

- Power system, factions, and character arcs are planned

- Open to creative input and collaboration. So I don’t want this to feel one-sided

Important:

This isn’t a paid project (at least for now), but the goal is to build something high quality that we can grow together and potentially monetize in the future.

If you’re interested, drop a comment or DM me with:

- Some of your artwork

- Your experience (if any)

- Why you’d want to join

Let’s build something crazy together.
