Alright, so my comic, Squircle, is basically a circle and square comic, nothing more, nothing less. I wanted the comic to stick out, rather than just make a circle and square and make them say funny things to each other.
So, i added shading detail.
Alright, i detailed the person, shadows etc, to the ground and to the eyes and it looks pretty good, for me.
But, usually there is just a blank space on their back, side, and most of their body.
Can anyone tell me how to detail em up a bit, without being a super awesome artist O.o?

Uh, well, a texture would work.
Or maybe a top hat or something?
Just the little things like that.
It's all up to you to do it though :D
you might try to make some template stylized backgrounds... also, you may think about stylized real-world backgrounds... and by that, I mean, a photographed pictured for your background, but manipulate them so that they're more along the lines of your comic (such as: emphasize shapes in the backgrounds by outlining them in the background, then sheer the backgrounds' detail by blurring them so they're not too distracting and maybe even lighten them with so levels work... this will just provide some relate able depth for which your shadows can interact with).
These suggestions would be quick and be much quicker when you make some templates with them, and would be faster the more you worked with them.
Also, you might try working really large, if you're not using a vectorizing program... this way, when you shrink your work down to fit your page-size, the any little waggly lines would be smoothed out.
