Does my Art look big in this?

[Bhuna]

I always pencil on paper, but have to ink digitally as I'm extremely crap at inking by hand. Manga Studio have been a lifesaver for me.

A product of technology and advancement?... Anyone else found their "talent" has been computerized??

I bought a bamboo tablet last month just to better help with digital aspects of my work and it has been a great revelation in terms of colouring, time and the undo button but it can never replace the pencil and paintbrush.

On a similar note I highly recommend a recent Imaginefx special issue on digital comic art and the processes of people at the top of their industry. Really really good.

oddly, I produced my first entirely digital painting today for my 'an arrow from hell' series. coloured version could do with some work but overall I'm chuffed. Especially as without digital, I would never have the patience to produce the arabesque curves and patterns on the internal art.





there are a couple of variants on the blog but nothing to different from the ones here.

I really like that Mucha -esque background and art deco feel on that one Mike

Here's another Dredd- practicing in Manga studio by inking old sketches

[Darren Stephens]

Nice inking Johnny. Still trying to get the hang of M.S4 myself. Ain't as easy as you've made it look, haha. :-)

How much is manga studio 4 BTW?

[johnnystress]

It's only @80 dollars

http://manga.smithmicro.com/buy.html

I (and half the message board) got it when they were doing a sale for about half that

Without wishing too oversell it too much I would put it in the 'life changing' category

[Hawkmumbler]

Herm...£52 is a bit out of my price range at the moment. I'll hold out for another sale and stick to more crude methods for the time being. Thanks jonnystress.

Here's the uncoloured version of my earlier post

This neck of the wood I inhabit is a bit old and dilapidated. Your welcome to it.
