and another thing i'm sure you all had trouble with, how do you avoid clichees?

well can u help me with fdirst drawing my character then i can post it

Well guys if you make a manga i dont think it would be smart to get help from people they will steal ideas and if it gets published they wont be able to draw all your pictures.

I stared on five of my own mangas already. It takes a while but I finally figured out a system that works for me. And I agree, it's not a very bright idea to get help from people, not that they would steal ideas from you, it's just you may become dependent. But it's always fun to discuss you ideas.

Yeah it was hard but I got a design down that seems to work well for my character,um well since I plan to do my own manga as well I plan to avoid some cloches too but I think it all comes down to how the story is and if the characters seem unrealistic but then there could be other things too I don't think I could really explain it but I hope I helped some.-^u^-

My character's name is Mary. She's petite, with lilac-colored hair that shines in the moonlight. She has one emerald green eye and one that is bright blue because she's the member of a race of demigod ninjas that have all gone extinct but her. She's an orphan (her parents died in a tragic gardening accident), speaks eight languages and is a great singer. She became a model when she was 12 and a rock star when she was 14. The rest of her band is made up of devistatingly handsome men from various nationalities that are all in love with her. But she has been cursed from birth with the inability to kiss. The second she kisses someone who isn't her own true love, she will melt away into a little pile of sugar. Because of that she is virtuous and innocent and waits for the man of her dreams to sweep her off her feet...
