learn to draw comics or manga

My journey towards mastering manga was started when I was in class 4. I used to watch anime shows like Beyblade, transformers (Japanese not American) etc and as soon as the show ended, I grabbed few A4 papers, a pencil and eraser and drew out the things that I thought could have made the episode more interesting.
During class 6, one of my senior came to know about my passion and asked me if I am putting my comics and manga on sale. I immediately agreed ( I am in dire need of color pastels :) ) and he paid 20 rupees for iron man and wolverine comics.
Soon people from other higher classes came to know about my works and reached out for me at recess to buy them. This really encouraged me to come up with more interesting stories and twists in plots. I usually earned from Rs.100 to Rs. 150 at the end of the week when I didn’t even knew the word “ENTREPRENEUR”.
But soon this journey ended as one of my class teacher complaint against me to principal saying that I wasn’t concentrating well in academics ( Well I scored best and got A+ till the end of my high school). My comics soon got banned due to this stupid reason!!
Soon like every other Indian teen, I was thrown into the conveyor belt of factory to produce engineer.
During the first semester I started despising maths as it was way too fast for me. So during M1 ( maths ) classes I restarted working on my comic/manga skills. I used to drew fictional manga characters on the desk, took a photo of it and erased them before I left class.
Soon I realized that engineering is not my piece of cake and I have landed at a very wrong place where the word “manga or anime” is considered a taboo.
One day I decided that I won’t let this engineering stop me from doing the stuff I really loved. So I started to learn digital arts so that I can come up with a quality comic/manga but it wasn’t easy. I couldn’t afford a ‘Graphic Tablet’. But I was strongly determined to learn this skill some how and mastered it using simple mouse!
Some of my creations are:
NOTE: ALL ARE MADE USING MOUSE.
I’ve tried to make a manga too but didn’t got much time. Manga needs a lot of time and patience. But still I made few pages.

Difference between virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality

Augmented reality and mixed reality are often used to refer to the same idea, however there are a few potential differences between the two depending on who you speak to. To some, it is semantics, while to companies like Microsoft, there is an important distinction between the two terms. The majority of mentions of augmented reality and mixed reality in the press right now refer to “mixed reality” as a synonym of “augmented reality”. Even experiences which could be under the umbrella of “mixed reality” are called “augmented reality” by the companies creating them. This is where things get confusing. “Mixed reality” is most commonly used by Microsoft to describe their HoloLens. The media often call it “augmented reality” to begin with, adding on in a rather forced sounding way — “or as Microsoft calls it, ‘mixed reality’”, followed by using the terms interchangeably throughout their articles. It is best explained by starting with the much easier definition of “virtual reality”: ...

What is the difference between UX and UI designer and web designer?

A bit cynical: UI design is the older term for UX design. New kids on the block disliked the ugly, annoying designs they were seeing, so they decided that, by renaming the discipline, they would produce designs less ugly and annoying. In the future, this will happen again, and UX (and the  letter X generally) will be disparaged as very old-fashioned and uncool. This will always happen because it is the nature of disciplines to rebrand themselves as newbies think old-timers were stupider than they were. But also it is true that by rebranding an activity, there is an opportunity to re-educate the world on why what you do matters. More serious: UX was an attempt to liberate users from the tyranny of cognitive psychologists, who themselves were trying to liberate users from the tyranny of programmers. UX has sometimes been successful in doing so, but other times it has only meant subjecting users to the tyranny of graphic designers. :) At the end of the day, what I want-...

Should I learn Front-End Web Development first, or Back-end web development?

From a practical standpoint, there are more backend resources and a longer history of backend languages and frameworks, whether you're talking about Ruby, PHP, Java or C. Picking the right backend language to learn will also teach you some basic computer science concepts that will be valuable. Database indices, data structures, OOP, and jobs/threads are much more prevalent on the backend, and they're important software constructs which are making their way onto the frontend (that is, Javascript and HTML5) where devs without the background will find themselves limited. The front end comes with its own set of challenges and nuances, but the skills there are a bit "softer", dealing more with rendering issues and design. I'll be honest and say that the  vast majority  of engineers, when moving to the front-end, don't bother with learning the design side of things, but at the same time the market isn't demanding the position as much, or  maybe we...
