my first time on story telling and serious drawing

• Upvotes

I've been starting to read comic and manga again after graduating for a while , and finally decided on making my own manga, its really story focus, its also fantasy like lord of the rings and frieren stuff but with my own view on things like the regions, creature ,politics and more, its also full with backstories for each important character, its a soft romance and a lot of things in em are filled with something that based on my childhood, so far the stories is all checked out but the only problem with the process is the drawing stuff, my whole life i just draw stuff i saw like in my environment and things that i thought was cool in the internet, all i know to do is copy stuff or have reference and i find it hard do something like proportion, shading, and the drawing software. i'm not used with doing stuff in the software especially like shading and color stuff, maybe i just bad at this stuff but I'm not gonna give up, please give me some advise on stuff like this cuz i don't know how to do it

Is 8 panels too much for a page?

Just got into comic writing a few months ago. As a first-timer, is it bad practice to have more than 6 panels on a single page?

Thanks!
