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!

This may come in handy. Although I prefer to do manga the traditional way: using screentones, manga pen and ink as well as the manga papers. (^_^)

Could you tell me the Tachikiri guide measurements please? I tried printing out the link, but it came out REALLY small. n_n; Is it just supposed to be the out side of an A4 piece of paper?

enchantma In reply to Night-Mare666 [2007-06-04 16:08:28 +0000 UTC]

Yes, typical A4 size which is 7"x10" I believe =3

Hoshizakura In reply to ??? [2007-05-01 22:54:02 +0000 UTC]

I have a question about the whole tachikiri thing. When I printed out the tachikiri guide, was it supposed to take up all the space on the paper? Because when I printed it, it looked smaller, and didnt take up all the space =\ lol.

enchantma In reply to Hoshizakura [2007-05-02 01:03:39 +0000 UTC]
