How To draw and color multiple characters in the scene with background. The tutorial show you the way to create a dynamic comics or manga panels, putting multiple characters within the setting. How to create depth, composition and arrange the objects.

Nothing fancy, just a quick color sketch for the storyboard or Maga or comics panel. It's not intended to be a full illustration, just to tell the story with image.
This panel short is basically the lower camera angel and closer to the character than the previous post "Background digital painting tutorial" changing the angel of the camera appropriately can elevate feels and better understanding of the action and the story telling itself. Ah! I should find some solid info and make a post about that. :)

Camera angel and storyboard go hands in hands. They are the essence of film making, other than sound.
