Your first question to yourself should be “Am I capable?”. If yes, follow @Steve_O’s advice. There should be a lot of sketching around each first four step.

It is true that I should ask myself the question “Am I capable?”

I’m still discovering people’s opinions right now it’s Asura Scans APK Techzapk by Hecdtor Mitchell

But do you plan on selling it?
Because using other’s published characters without permission is against the law.
If any printer is printing these for you, that’s also against the law.

I think to create a cover page the most important things to keep in mind are layout, inking, and coloring. Consider the layout and composition of your cover, decide on the placement of the characters, any additional elements or backgrounds, and the overall design. Think about how you want to showcase the characters and create an engaging composition that captures the essence of the manga. With inking, I advise you should use a fine liner or a brush pen to create clean, precise lines. Be patient and take your time to ensure the lines are smooth and consistent. And about coloring, you can choose to color digitally using software like Photoshop or use traditional media such as markers, colored pencils, or watercolors. Refer to the original manga or anime for color reference, but feel free to add your own artistic interpretation.
