This was great. And yuri.

ah, my background's turning rainy. it saddens me to think there ain't be a story with those cute chars (

Cute and awesome

Very interesting.. I wonder to what extent a mangaka knows specific named staging and other techniques and plans them, or if it just comes naturally with experience and they dont even think about it.

The hallucination one felt bad.

Love me some educational yuri

There is a weird charm to educational pieces whose practical examples have just enough continuity for the readers' brains to start connecting the dots, but not enough to actually form a complete story. It gives us the touchstones and then let us image our favorite story around them, one that no actual, written-down story can ever match in emotional impact.

Probably varies. I wouldn't be surprised if the terms come out more when talking to editors.

This is actually pretty useful. Will take it into account when I make my webtoon

This is actually pretty interesting. Wish all my courses included examples with yuri :(

Nice, they even managed to properly illustrate how the colored version hair colors never match what you expect them to be, dammit

Lol so true
I think my main problem with this is that I never actually imagine any unnatural colours. Like, I've pictured them with a beautiful brown shade and then they suddenly have blue hair or green or whatever

Oh, and also when authors leave light brown hair white, like they did here.
Um... No...? this is for blonde...? (is what I think XD)

^Yup leaving brown hair as uncoloured super annoys me lol. Even worse when its a character who normally DOES have their hair lightly shaded, but in like 20% of their panels are just left looking blonde- especially if there ARE blonde characters- can be hard to know who is who.
