Can someone please explain what they do with the photos? ╮(￣▽￣)╭ http://www.ma...

The author uses them as actual backgrounds instead of tracing or drawing over them

But the backgrounds dont exactly look like photos? They look like normal digital drawings

Author likely photoshops people out and adds digital filters to make it look more "drawing-like" but the cafe background is pretty obviously an actual photo. She did draw in the tables though.

I see thanks. I'm not used to seeing actual photos being used in any type of comic so this wasn't obvious to me
