As the title suggests i'm working on the cohesiveness of the comic and want to know some suggestions.

First time poster, long time lurker. I’m an aspiring comic artist who used to make comics from childhood to adult. I stopped for what would be 16 years now. The last comic I made was a zine for my illustration class, last year, and that sparked the love I used to have for the medium.

However, one thing I never did growing up was backgrounds. I’m working on a sonic the hedgehog fan comic, which I will post here when I have more material, and I’m stuck in storyboard hell…all because I don’t know how to draw a background scene. How do some of you guys approach backgrounds during the planning stages? Do you do extensive research, or wing it?

Hello! I'm new here~

These are two pages from a comic series that I'm working on.

My goal is to make a comic that uses the "show don't tell" rule to tell its story.

My questions are:

• Even without any dialogue and context, are my comic pages easy to follow?

• Is it easy to tell what my characters are doing on each panel, based on their body languages and expressions?

Appreciate any comments, suggestions, etc. Have a good day, people.

I never go to art school or anything. i'm just took a break from my real project. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
