✨ My very first attempt at a black & white manga-style page! ✨
This was a big challenge for me — from using screentones for skin and fabric to figuring out shadows and textures without color. I wanted to capture a soft, emotional vibe in the character’s expression, while keeping that classic shoujo manga feel 🖤
💬 Unfortunately, Tumblr has a size limit, so I had to compress the image — which means some quality got lost 😭
🖋️ Made in Clip Studio Paint EX 🎀 First time using screentones seriously 🌸 Soft flower background to match her mood
Hope you like it anyway! Feedback is super appreciated 💬✨
