Creating a BL manga

Tue Jul 7, 2009, 7:46 AM
Hello guys, how everyone?

Hopefully at the end of this year, I would be able to finish an original BL series I've been planning for EOY events. I'm still wondering if people would buy an ORIGINAL BL manga...

But I've really studied really hard on my story and hopefully it is worth the purchase. I really really want to do a classic. I'm a big fan of Nitta Yuuka sensei, and want to continue the awesome she give in her series(unfortunately Nitta-sensei won't be appearing anymore T__T
Making a BL manga sounds easy but in truth there is alot of depth to relationship and how it flows. I don't like it too typical, neither do I like total sexual. The win thing about a good BL story is also making the reader feel very much for the characters - by using life expiriences and reality to show the human nature.

For those who find BL is digusting- To me its a deep form of romance - bit like litreature.
It's not like shojo manga where typical girl like boy, and go dating... and the exagerated bishie scences. Whilst it's also neither like boys romance comic, which depict lots of perverted stuff and falling in love by 'sexiness' or 'looks.
(Though I don't deny some anime/manga of good hetrosexual love stories like '5 centermeters per second', 'skip beat', 'cat street' is very good.)

I'm really very packed at the moment preparing cosplay, merchandise for event sales, getting ready notes for drawing lessons and making portfolio. But I shall not- forget my BL story.

In fact its took me quite a while to toss a couple of stories and start a new one... just then when I hear L'Arc En Ciel's 'Wind of Gold'[link] (makes me think of the golden beach and two BL couple enjoying their honeymoon lol :heart:) -- the story goes snap snap snap instantly, being inspired by more of his songs. It takes me about 2-3 days to get a whole story~
I shall put 20% of the story up here and u shall read the rest by purchasing the book =D
So please give me the support to finish it!

I won't release much info but see for yourself. Sorry if my journal sounds bit boring at the moment...hahaha T_T

ROFLLL.
Dang D:
Just wondering :D
I'm a cheapo who likes free stuff 8D.
Oh btw, did you study any anatomy from books, or tutorials or anything? Or is it self-taught?
Cus i can never seem to get the anatomy right and it just messes up my drawing :/
I really need to start doing full body sketches soon ;~;
:iconkei-klan:
Erm I do read bit of tutorials when I was young, but I copied alot and draw them everyday as a kid so I got use to the anatomy. But there are actually lots of glitches to it for I never seriously study figure drawings which I'm dying to learn now). And is really learning from the real fine arts than anime tutorials which are more useful. I'm going to start teaching basical anime drawings too so I'll probably release some notes some day~

Oh okays xD
The best way is probably learning by copying and referencing
But i guess the more thorough way is by studying anatomy and figure drawing.
Thank you xD
I will be looking forward to those notes 8D.
