How do you make your games? I see. Thank you for the prompt replies, but it is my considered opinion that you're doing it wrong inefficiently because I am a perfushenal professional. Do it my way this way and we can all ascend VN Nirvana together while allowing me to stroke my ego you will improve much faster. Also, please don't forget to thank me for this constructive critique or I will cry and bore you to death respond appropriately with a tl;dr rant discourse of epic adequately lengthy proportions. - Sarcasm Veiled in Euphemism: Secrets of Forum Civility by lordcloudx (Coming soon to an online ebook near you.)

(i think) even pro mangakas use real photos and trace with lightboxes for complicated backgrounds.

BUT, even those who use this method must have an eye for composition--just because the picture is "real" does not mean it looks "right" to us!

Very true. Take a look at Ai Yazawa's work.
