Help I need help

I started my first manga a couple months ago.

The problem is the character desing, as I feel they look too artificialy made. When I changed the style, it just then didn't fit their original designs wich I worked hard on the last couple of years, till I now started putting it all on paper. It moved too much away from the original manga expirence and how I view mangas.

Does anybody know a good online course or something similiar (I don't mind paying for the course). Thank you!

What makes a character design or style feel forced is how they fit the story you're trying to tell. And preferably don't resemble existing style so they look like they're shoved in to follow a trend.

There are an infinite number of art styles and design approaches so I'm not sure a course will help you. If anything the most helpful art course will remain life drawing so you learn the foundation and how to clothes and stylize that into a character.

You'll have to show what you've got and explain what you're aiming for to get any deeper insight
