Description Wha-? enchan made a tutorial?
You better believe it! I spent all day on it See what I do when my webcomic is on hiatus?
For those of you who have asked me how it's done, I present to you the step-by-step manga tutorial~~~!
It's very unprofessional...T___T I'm sorry...I do hope it helps though.
And that tachikiri guide I tell you I'll provide here is here-> [link]
Full view to see the tutorial....It's huuuuge O_O Gomenne~~T^T
The mini comic features my characters from the webcomic MAJESTY -> [link]
I know it doesn't make sense...but I had to come up with something fast enough for the tutorial. (It might make sense if you know the characters ;;;; *loser* )
Good Luck~! And enjoy!
Required Tools: The media shown in the first step of the tutorial, Photoshop 5 or higher and ComicWorks.

EDIT: Thanks everyone for all the favs! I'm happy you found this helpful in some sorta way XD;; I edited my site address in the description...and maybe one day I'll fix the address on the tutorial---but it is wrong XD....Remember~~~>enchantma.com!
ANOTHER EDIT: Okay, so the Tachikiri guide isn't working...Nevermind that. Every publishing company has it's own guides anyway but the standard is that the page dimensions should follow a 2:3 ratio.
MORE 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;;
FINAL EDIT (I hope): I HAVE A NEW TUTORIAL THAT SHOULD ANSWER WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. Please check it out BEFORE asking questions. Thanks!

er, may i ask? do you need that manga paper or what-so-called paper in making a manga? or could i just have a normal short bond paper? Nice tutorial by the way .

enchantma In reply to oyyro [2010-04-07 05:38:41 +0000 UTC]

the manga paper is only necessary if you want a smooth surface to ink on. otherwise, don't waste your money on it.
and thank you

Sorry for bothering you again, but i googled mechspec5 and clicked on the second link, and it wasnt at the bottom. In fact, i tried all the links. Could you link me to it somehow?

Very helpful tutorial~ I'll remember to view this when I decide on an idea

Just a question though: Will GIMP work well, or just PhotoShop??
