Does anyone know where to get programs that let you do all the funky stuff Jeph does with his webcomics? I mean, I know it's mostly hand-drawn but there's gotta be some way of getting it on the net and doing all the colouring. I'm a budding artist myself, and I'm honestly looking for a good program to help me put out my work. Right now the only thing I have is a big sketchbook and an old set of pencils. Any ideas?

get photoshop, or illustrator. if you can't afford that then get gimp. it's the next best thing to photoshop and its free.

My good friend Google has proven a great help to me in such matters. I found Comixpedia.com had some great stuff in their links area.

I prefer Photoshop over Illustrator for comics, myself, but to each their own. Photoshop comes in a couple of stripped down options which are a heck of a lot cheaper than the full beasty. I use Photoshop Elements 2.0, which I got for 60 bucks, and got a second copy of it when I bought my Wacom drawing tablet. It does everything I need for my work style.

Go opensource, save yourself some money, and learn some great software while you are at it.

The suggestion for the gimp is a wonderful one. If you are looking to touch up or colour in a scanned image or simply draw wacom style, that's the program to use. Also, if you are more familiar with Photoshop, check out Gimpshop, a hack to make it appear and feel more like PS.

However, if you wish to draw directly in a program with just a mouse, I'd recommend Sodipodi. There's a windows version out there (even though it can be a hassle to install-check out this page to see how to correct the installation errors it provides). Sodipodi straightens your lines as you draw (much like Flash if you've used it).
