Start by writing down some of the character's personality characteristics and physical attributes and then draw from there. Ask yourself questions. Does your character have powers? Friends? Relatives? Siblings? Are they a main character or side character? Use your favorite manga characters for inspiration. If you have a visual character idea, start with that and then move on to writing the character's personality traits next to it. If you're having trouble, start drawing a map of the world you want to create. For example, if you're creating a post-apocalyptic shonen, start writing down some town locations. Afterward, mark off some forests, mountains, and other locations where you can place some fight scenes. Always consider your genre before creating your setting. Look at other similar manga and see what kinds of settings are commonly used. Consider your characters as you create your world. For example, ask yourself where each character currently resides and where they were born. Create a storyline that accommodates your characters. Change your characters' goals, personalities, and motivations as you flesh out the story. Start with your setting and genre and then get specific. Decide who the important characters are, the main plot, and how it relates to your setting. Determine the main conflicts, mysteries, challenges, and twists. Don't be afraid the change story points and characters as the story develops. Each manga chapter is about 19 pages, although the introduction chapter is usually 15. A volume of manga is about 150 pages, which is around 5 chapters. Since there are about 4 pages per scene, that gives you about 5 scenes per chapter. Start writing down all of your main story events and points and group them into specific scenes. Afterward, group the scenes into chapters, and the chapters into volumes.

Summary: Create your character profiles. Choose a setting for your story. Flesh out a story outline. Break your storyline into manga volumes.

Even though sandpaper sounds too rough to use on suede, it actually is a great material if you have a gentle hand. Purchase either fine sandpaper (number 000) or use a nail file that you may have at your house. Use soft back-and-forth motions to sand at the gum. Try to avoid directly sanding the surface of the suede. Brush aside any gum that may come off. Keep in mind that the sanding method will likely affect the suede. A tiny bit of the material may come off as you're sanding. This method is best left after you have tried other methods. It also may be the best method for items like shoes, which are below eye level. If your suede item is something that people will be looking at up close, keep in mind that the material will be affected. Sanding suede with a brush or emery board can affect the nap, or texture of the suede. After sanding, take a toothbrush, nail brush or suede brush and gently brush the nap of the suede, going in one direction. Brushing the suede can also brush away the gum removed during sanding.

Summary: Purchase sandpaper or a nail file. Gently move the sandpaper or nail file over the gum remains. Brush with a suede brush.

Your doctor can determine if you have a herniated disc and prescribe treatment. Describe your pain to the doctor, including where you feel it. In most cases, your doctor can make a diagnosis of a herniated disk in their office, without invasive diagnostic tests. Even if other tests need to be done, they will not be painful. Make a list of the other conditions you have so that your doctor can rule them out as the cause of your symptoms. For example, osteoporosis can cause similar symptoms. Your doctor will also need to know your family history, as having a family member with a herniated disc increases your risk of having one. Your doctor will feel along your spine to look for painful areas. They will likely ask you to change positions or move around your legs so that they can get a better idea about where your pain is located and how it's impacting you. While it sounds scary, this is a non-invasive, painless office exam. Your doctor will check how well your reflexes work, as well as your muscle development. They will then check your balance and posture. Finally, they will check to see how well you feel sensations like pinpricks, touch, or vibration. The results will help the doctor determine if you may have a disc putting pressure on your nerves. A herniated disc can make it harder for your nerves to communicate with the rest of your body, so your body may have trouble registering pain or may get too many pain signals. The doctor will ask you to bend and move side to side at your joints. This will allow the doctor to see how limber you are and if you are able to move freely and without pain. If you have a herniated disc, it may affect your range of motion. Your doctor will have you lie back on the table. They will slowly raise your leg until you start to feel pain. If you have pain while your leg is at a 30 to 70 degree angle, then you may have a herniated disc. Additionally, if you feel pain in the other leg, it could mean you have sciatica caused by a herniated disc. This test may not be accurate if you are over the age of 60. If your doctor is not sure that your symptoms are caused by a herniated disc, they may do an X-ray to rule out other health issues, such as a broken bone or a tumor. Herniated discs will not show up on an X-ray. The doctor can use an X-ray to look for pressure on your nerves and spine by injecting a dye into your body. This is called a myelogram. While the pressure on your nerves and spine could be caused by other conditions, it will help your doctor determine if you have compression on your nerves. Your doctor may also take a computerized tomography (CT scan), which takes a series of X-rays to create a more thorough image for the doctor to assess. An MRI lets your doctor get a closer look at your spine so that they can treat your herniated disc. Not only can they confirm the location, they can also determine how severe it is. While you will need to be still, the MRI will not be painful. Usually, you will not have to undergo nerve tests. Your doctor may do these outpatient tests if they suspect you already have nerve damage, based on your reported levels of pain. Although the tests are not painful, they may make you a little uncomfortable. An electromyogram and a nerve conduction test will send electrical impulses to your nerves to see how well they respond. This lets your doctor look for damage to the nerves.
Summary: Make an appointment with your healthcare provider. Bring a thorough medical history. Expect your doctor to check your back for tender spots. Allow your doctor to do a neurological exam. Do range of motion tests. Perform a leg raise test. Get an X-ray to rule out other issues. Undergo an MRI to locate the herniated disc and the nerves it's pressing. Expect nerve tests if your doctor suspects nerve damage.
