Description My first tutorial goes a little more in depth. You might want to refer to this: [link]

But I hope this helps, too! This is for the lots of you who wanted something with how to do stuff on Photoshop...This covers both PS and CW.

The file is huuuuuuuuuuuuuge. This took forever to do x_X;

Enjoy!

EDIT: Thank you, for bringing this to my attention but you can find the Tokyopop template if you Google "mechspec5"...She says, "The second link, a pdf file, has the template at the bottom of it"
Now please stop asking me where it is XD;;

for the tokyopop template, just type mechspec5 into Google. The second link, a pdf file, has the template at the bottom of it.

bamm9 In reply to ??? [2009-02-19 04:21:40 +0000 UTC]

one question. when you write out the dialogue and whatever in a notebook, do you include what you're going to draw for the scenes? or do you JUST write down what people are going to be saying?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

enchantma In reply to bamm9 [2009-02-19 17:55:23 +0000 UTC]

i draw out little storyboards on a separate sheet and sometimes i include it in my notebook...however you feel is more organized ^^ it's very important to plan your pages~

enchantma In reply to Gyoku-Nitsuku [2009-01-23 20:47:26 +0000 UTC]

hm, you'll have to search the internet for something to help you create speed lines. i don't know a short cut to doing it digitally. i'll either use tones or do it by hand

HakuWeapon In reply to ??? [2009-01-09 00:17:55 +0000 UTC]

Say if I'm working on a manga page via computer what size would be ideal for printing it in manga form. (if I was going to publish it by lulu what size would each page be to keep it a normal manga page when being printed as a book?)

this is great and very helpful thank you very much.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

enchantma In reply to HakuWeapon [2009-01-09 02:08:30 +0000 UTC]

lulu provides page sizes and guidelines for that (at least they should) so you'll have to look into there =3

im soooo confused!!!!where do you get that manga tone thingy? eh... sorry....but i love your art syle, and i love your manga, soo amazing!!!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

enchantma In reply to alsasson [2008-11-12 05:42:41 +0000 UTC]

oh it's a specific toning program called Comicworks that provides you with all the tones.
If you're using Photoshop then you have to hunt for your own tones through a google search ^^
Thanks!

alsasson In reply to enchantma [2008-11-13 00:10:57 +0000 UTC]

ahhhh!!!! seriously??? finally, someone has supplied me with the programme, sheesh!! i have the colouring programme, photoshop, but man, i want my stuff to look manga-ish, ya know? thanks so much! google search? how? eh, sorry...

shape-shifter4234 In reply to ??? [2008-11-07 15:17:01 +0000 UTC]

thanks a lot! i always say i'm going to make my own manga characters and put an amateur manga together, but i keep putting it off cause im no good at drawing my own characters (even though i have the image in my head) but this is going to help me out a lot! i just have to keep on practicing and take my time. i can't expect a 5 star manga in a day! so thanks.
P.S. If its not too much to ask, could you make some kind of tutorial on how to draw hands? that's my worst part of drawing. (and eyes please) if you can't thats fine.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

enchantma In reply to shape-shifter4234 [2008-11-07 21:27:14 +0000 UTC]

that's right~ you need patience and practice...artists grow every day =] i'm sure you can be a great mangaka in no time~
i'm glad you found this tutorial helpful ^^ I'm flattered you want more, although my drawing skills are weaker than my storytelling skills and you probably don't want to learn how to draw hands and eyes from me There are great artists out there on DA who have awesome tutorials! And as far as hands, I use my own for reference...I always keep a mirror near my desk
Good luck!
