areas of improvement

all of my job career choices need the same type of skills but some jobs have more then the others

anatomy
the first thing that i have to do is to improve and study human anatomy. this is extremely important for basicly every one of the occupations i have chosen.
i have to study all different poses and angles as all sorts of poses and angles are needed for manga to make it interesting.
i will also need to study hands and their anatomy. as these are the hardest parts in human anatomy

backgrounds
i also need to learn and improve on backgrounds. as a background is the most important part for an illustration. the character is also important but the background is the biggest part so its the most important part as it stands out more. also if the background lacks compared to the character it could let down the whole picture.
the best way for me to improve is to try and recreate a photo of a landscape.
backgrounds are also important in manga as they are used to set the scene of the story. some panels will just be background. but they are important to set the scene

expressions
another area that i will need to work on is facial expressions as these are really necessary to get the feel and emotion of the story across.
feelings are one of the most important parts of a manga as they help the readers become more attached to the character. 

narrative 
one of the things that i really have to is improve on my narrative skills as the dialogue for a story is also one of the most important things for a story. because you must be able to tell a story but make it sound interesting whilst making it easily understandable but also sticking to the type of language that would be used. for example if a story was set in the Victorian times then the dialogue should be in that time zone.

screen toning
there are some other less important skills that i have to improve on but i will still try to improve as they will add to the finished touch. this skill is screen toning.
i have already started touching this subject but it is very hard to do. as you don't want to add to much toning to the page as it may subtract from the character, and might make the page look to cluttered,
but if you don't put enough toning in then it will make the page look plain and boring.

storyboarding 
i will also have to try and improve on my story boarding skills. as theses are the most help full and important steps in creating a manga or comic. the story board helps you to plan out the story and to clean up any plot holes
