Description Basic Photoshop skills required (e.g Layers, able to install downloaded tones/ effects)

Due to a high demand, I decided to finally bring out a tutorial on how I draw my manga 'Shadow Sprinters'

It tells almost everything I know and learnt off my own self taught experiences with manga drawing.

I'm not a professional, I merely started drawing manga pages only this year, though people still wanna know how I did it ;;;;

All I have to say is....

KEEP PRACTISING~!

I only learnt through lots of practise and analysing existing manga for inspirations XD

How does one add tone for a character that is entirely black, like a black cat etc?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Minyi In reply to LordAuthor [2015-11-23 15:37:01 +0000 UTC]

Erase the parts you want toned I guess? Then add another layer dedicated for the screentones beneath the ink layer.

Minyi In reply to SilverToraGe [2013-06-11 05:45:40 +0000 UTC]

I just use the most basic default brush, one of the first ones in Photoshop.

SilverToraGe In reply to Minyi [2013-06-14 01:05:36 +0000 UTC]

do you have a preference on the brush preset or do you leave it at the default setting?

Minyi In reply to SilverToraGe [2013-06-15 21:31:55 +0000 UTC]

I leave it completely default. I don't use any custom brushes.
