Description
July '09 edit:If you like this tutorial; please, feel free to check out my manga:
- The Enemy (Submitted June '06 to January '07)
- Angel Fallen (Cont'd July '08 to December '08)
- Never-Ending Encore (Submitted May '09 to present)
I wrote this tutorial a few years back and made an edit to this comment since it's still getting so many hits. This was requested by one or two people, so yeah, this is a tutorial on how to CG your manga for anyone who wants to know how I did my manga.
I would direct this to beginners since I had only submitted about 2 or 3 pages at the time of making this tutorial and I honestly think I no longer agree with some of the advice I gave. I just haven't read through it again to check. So sorry if it's not completely up to date.

I can't get the Lineart to separate!
I only have one layer at the moment , that is the background layer
When i select channels and try to delete the white a box appears.
It is a "Fill" box , it asks me to choose contents and blending?
I don't have a clue!

when i drew mine the paper i used was crap , I have scanned it but i am having difficulty separiting the lineart from the BG
I think its because the paper is more of a pale grey than white
Any tips?

Nice! What version of Photoshop were you using in this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think I was still using PhotoShop 6.0 for this. All those methods should still work in CS5 but there are better ways now.

PS: what would you recomend to use; a pen or a pencil, I'm using a pencil cause my pens have this typical fat point. But what'd you recomend?

Personally, pen. But that's just because my pencilling is way too sketchy.

when paneling try not to use so many small panels and so much dynaicity, i mean that is nice but use it only to emphasize certain actions.
Other than that small bullshit criticism, I really like it, i mean really it can help me with my touch ups in photoshop.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Was that little bit of critique at the start directed at me, or did you mean that you think I should've put that advise in my tutorial?
