Quote: "To be honest, Anime will be better. As they can be quite expressive, and also it's also different, a good way to stand out to other web comics."
...no, most web comics are at least partially manga based. It stands only only slightly more than cg stick figures, unless drawn with a very stand outish stlye. This is because of all the forms of comics to draw, most people who work on their art skills seem interested in the pretty clear cut formula anime uses to build its characters. I personally love how expressive manga can be, but most "anime" drawers you see on the web are western teenage girls who can draw pretty still figures from a frontal view and that's about it. I personally have met and know at least 20 girls like that, ranging from High School to College. Yeah, it's pretty common. I'm not trying to insult those people, so much as point out that a LOT of people do it.
I'd love to see how a comic with manga art looks though, I'll take ANYTHING over cg stick figures. Also, your friend seems to have weight shift and cloth down quite well, though I can't tell at all from that one if she can draw the same character twice, or in non frontal poses.
