How to draw Manga and color comics panel step by step tutorial

How to draw Manga and color comics panel step by step tutorial.

Here are another panel from the up coming Manga (color), I also try to add some element of typical Anime element into the style. I renamed it to "Kapow Express", just to randomize the name other than using Shanghai.
I experiment with black and white and decide to do it in color because I like them painted. :)
I am a bad inker, but I do get away with scribble color.

The whole Manga drawing and painting style I am still experimenting...The drawing, I want to maintain stylize and expressive, not realistic in visual. The color, I want it to be kind of washed out, like old piece of paper...photograph using simple color and still can see thru some sketchy pencil lines. Also I want the color to be a bit childlike and have pastel or soft look to them. Though, these are some thought at the moment and of the scene.

*There maybe some panel that could be different and more serious and realistic. If you read enough Manga, some do ulternate...depending on the mood.

But here are step by step drawing and painting Manga comics panel:
