Mercury Hat posted:The vanilla version of Manga Studio 5 / Clip Studio Paint is on sale again for $15 USD! Does anyone not have Manga Studio at this point My guess is that they are getting ready to update it again. I got two emails from Celsys in Japan in the last month telling me my feature request could be expected in an upcoming release. I asked for a hotkey or interface button to reset the touch interface without requiring pen input to do so, since it gets out of whack once and awhile, and for them to consolidate language support into one installation package since License keys are region locked to specific languages and I am proof this policy is stupid, aka gaijin who does not want to deal with the 月語.

Fangz posted:Hey, if you are a fan of manga artists and their work, you're surely get a kick out of this documentary series Urasawa (Monster, 20th C Boy) made (first episode starring the mangaka behind Kuragehime, Higashimura Akiko): The thing I love most about this is how story boarding makes you want to take a nap. I related to this deeply.

Character design I did for my Character Design class.![]() Specs included great lines, such as: Nice shoes, she stole 'em. Crooked lovely broom. Skin bag of magic bullshit. The next project in that class is to draw our own character. I'm just not sure if I should draw the main character of my comic, or a character who will be showing up soon, but whose design isn't finalized yet.

Lord Prinnington posted:I don't usually post much of anything anywhere, but I just started making a new webcomic. It's my first real try at making something good, I've been drawing for a while but I haven't ever really finished a project or had any plans to do so until now. Fairly new to the whole process so I feel like I'm a bit worse at a lot of the things specific to comics (pacing, layout, motion, etc.) but I'm working on it and trying to improve page-by-page. Currently working on a weekly update schedule because of time constraints. I don't know a lot of people who would be able to give me any useful criticism so hopefully you guys can help out in that department. I made the first like 13 pages in a batch and uploaded them at the same time. Still working on the site layout, pretty new to this stuff. Looking back, there are a couple things I wish I had drawn differently (the grass backgrounds, the first page in the basement) but I decided that I wouldn't go back and redraw pages since I'd never be able to get anywhere if I did. If you have any tips for site layout, the pacing, the panel layout, etc. I'd be happy to hear it. This is pretty cool and is now on the list of things that I actively read.

Let it be known on an interversal level: you are laid low by poisoned guacamole and in your delirium a bug-loving autist drowns you in a lake. Then a technicolour sea cucumber crawls out of your anus and bequeaths world-saving visions upon your surviving friends and family.

So I know someone that only likes overly sexual used art. Anything that's drawn well but has tits, rear end, v-jayjay or penisis on it. Like they say it's funnyeeee, which it is once in a while but every day like a photo from some Instagram "artist" with something sexual on it, but in person, not exactly insatiable. .... I have interests in art that span lots of genres but to fixate on one type which is seemingly just pornoraphic but can get away with it cause it's cartoon art is that weird? I'm not a prude, I know it doesn't sound it. But I just wonder what sort of person they really are, is it the person I meet face to face or is he .... not who I think he is?

Sounds like your friend likes cartoon porn. Are they posting it on face book or printing it out and pinning it to the wall or what. If it's nothing illegal just tell them to get a porn Instagram or tumblr side account and stop telling you about it, I guess.

I'm gonna say that as long as people have the option to avoid it, or not, it's probably fine that he draws whatever.

The Pony Incident posted:I made a short comic called Drudoc Took a look at these. Some of your panels are pretty hard to read, image-wise. My personal opinion is that as a cartoonist clarity should be your highest goal. People can't even start to read, or interpret things if they can't tell what they're looking at. Also, I liked the little progression where the monster(?) put out his candle.

Any recommendations for some big ol' books or other sources on composition? I've finally gotten to the point where I'm capable enough at art to actually make a thing, but composition is still by far one of my weakest areas, and it's one that I understand as being the most critical when it comes to something like laying out a panel.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1285858220/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile Design Basics by Pentak and Lauer is a great book about design and composition. It's not specific to comics, but it will teach you how to design well. It's a textbook so get it used or get an older edition or both. Honourable mention goes to How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way, but I just assume everyone everywhere has read that one.

Also not specific to comics, but Composition by Arthur Wesley Dow is a life-changing book. It's short, it's great, it's in the public domain. ![]()

I have recently discovered Manga Studio's Gradient Map Correction Layers, and it's pretty amazing. Start with one grayscale image. ![]() Add a warm highlights/cool shadows gradient map ![]() And bam, a coloured image for you to start fiddling with. ![]() You can use layer folders to apply a different map to the background. ![]() Or fiddle with the colour scheme rapidly. ![]() ![]() It's a lot of fun!

Posted this in the Wacom art thread, but it might also be useful here. For those on a budget or looking for a iPad tool: Just kind of stumbled across MediaBangPaint and thought of the thread. It's basically a product similar to MangaStudio/ClipStudio with a couple differences: 1. It has support for windows/os x/Android/iOS 2. It has fewer features, but 3. It's free. I haven't installed it on my Mac as I have ClipStudio but I've played around with it on my iPad with an Adonit pixel pressure stylus and it works well, palm rejection particularly is nice as it basically ignores any input except the stylus. Don't know if the brush engine is as good as Clip/Manga studio, I imagine not but for roughing in thumbnails or layout work on the go or as a free way to get paneling and sketching etc. Anyway, it's http://medibangpaint.com/en/

Vermain posted:Thanks a bunch for the suggestions; working my way through Design Basics right now. Also, Making Comics by Scott McCloud is really good and has a great section on framing and transitions. It used to be mocked a bit in the thread title, it's a good read specifically for comics. EDIT: realized you're probably looking for compositions within a panel, not page compositions. There's some of that in the book too but probably better to use classic resources... squirrelzipper fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Jan 6, 2016 |

This reminds me of when I tried to learn how to draw grayscale values and then color over them. I couldn't ever get a hang of it because of the disconnect between shading and coloring messing with my head and everything ending up terrible. I see a lot of people do it to great success though.
