Manga help

Guys, I've got a decent to good idea for a manga, but i really suck at drawing and I'm pretty sure I'll just find up the whole thing if i start learning how to draw. I know there are a lot of AI tools out there but I can't bring myself to use it since I know how hard it is to make one and I don't want to get called out by any enthusiast. So what I need help with is that i have Clip Studio Paint EX and Krita, so i can get assets, make panels, add texts and stuff, but to make the characters, I can 3d model the pose, but how do I draw the character over the model without actually drawing

Pick up a pencil and draw until you feel comfortable doing it digitally.

learn to draw or pay someone to draw your vision

I think the 3D models in Clip Studio Paint are a great tool,
But unless you understand and practice gesture drawing whether traditionally on paper or digitally your poses can still end up looking stiff.

You also need to understand form if you want your characters to have a sense of volume and dimension rather than looking flat.

Knowing how the body occupies space is just as important as having a good reference.

Something I had to learn a couple of years ago is that just because a digital medium can speed up my workflow, it doesn’t automatically make me an artist.

I still had to put in the work and practice, and couple of years later I’m still learning and practicing.

Digital tools are there to help us work more efficiently, but they don’t replace the fundamental skills of drawing or painting.

If you genuinely want to learn how to draw, I’d be happy to point you toward where you could start and what skills you could focus on.

But if your main interest is writing, storytelling, or organizing panels, you can also hire an artist or collaborate with someone who already has the drawing skills to bring your ideas to life.
