New tutorial
kirabug:
Thanks for the updated tutorial! Your old one was the first time I'd heard about using a much larger image size than the final product would be, and it's responsible for a major jump in my (still mostly crappy) art quality, so thank you very much.
What kind of Mac are you running? I'm producing everything on a 933Mhz iBook and even with over a gig of RAM things drag to a crawl on 4400x4000, 300DPI comics. (Then again, I tend to put all my panels on my original, so I probably have 50+ layers...)
Lanika )O(:
Great tutorial, thank you very much! Sharing a technique makes lots of people work better on this strange new misterious art of drawing in a computer. Every little details counts and your tutorial is really cool!
Maybe it's my monitor config (1024x768 on a 17"), but I wish the images were bigger so I could see the menus better. So, here is my little doubt: You work your ink layers settled to normal, overlay, multiply? How does it work for you?
Again, thanks a lot! :D
jeph:
I keep all my layers set to Normal. I don't mess around with any of that confusing overlay/multiply stuff.

it's always great to see how other webcomic artists work their magic, especially one enjoying some measure of success such as yourself. What i found most interesting is that you do your sketching in photoshop itself. in the short time i've been in this game, i've been doing my sketches on paper and scanning them in for the rest of the work (which incidentally is almost identical to your method), but your way seems like it might be faster. I'd just feel weird not doing any work with a traditional medium, but i s'pose you can't argue with results! Keep up the good work!

and in contrast, I never learned how to draw until I got a Wacom pad (it shows, doesn't it) and feel totally naked taking pencil to paper - where the heck is the "undo" button??
