Description A lot of you ask how I make the manga pages, so here are the steps!

--The very first thing I do (before these steps) is make a rought sketch
and write the speeches so I have an idea of what to draw on every page.
--In photoshop I use screentones, which are different patterns/shades
of gray you see on the pages. (such as the flowery backgrounds or the color
of the bucket in this tutorial)
--One thing that's important is to make sure to look for reference pictures,
and I mean a lot of them, so I can see how to draw things I've never
drawn before.
You can see here other reference images I used for the pages:
----------------
---- ----
----------------
--It's also good to look up reference pictures for poses and clothings
if that's difficult to draw. ^-^

I hope this helps!

This was actually really helpful. I never thought about putting a scene in the background before and going from that (I'm bad with backgrounds -.-)

kpoplovah4evah [2013-09-03 01:38:19 +0000 UTC]

using references that way is super clever! 

i would usually take the long way and try to do all of those stupid yet necessary perspective lines, but this is much easier haha

And here we have another artist who understands art a million times better than Tompreston aka Andrew Dobson.  You actually go to the trouble of using a reference while he's too lazy to do it and still makes money off of his art.

TSaianda In reply to ndunsmo [2013-09-03 20:31:54 +0000 UTC]

you think? o.o

Thank you!

I like to learn how to draw things, then I prefer use references images and try draw it,  instead put other art XD

ratatoeskrI [2013-09-02 22:30:27 +0000 UTC]

That's pretty interesting! So you draw the characters on paper and the backround on pc?
Wish I could do that

TSaianda In reply to ratatoeskrI [2013-09-02 22:42:38 +0000 UTC]

This background was designed on pc, but not all, for example --- chikorita85.deviantart.com/art… --this is tradicional

at first I took too long to make a page, but now I can draw faster, then, from the last pages of chapter 5, I draw everything digitally (except the sketch) because looks better XD

ratatoeskrI In reply to TSaianda [2013-09-02 23:59:19 +0000 UTC]

Well I feel like seeing a difference
That comes wih experience, I think. Being able to draw faster^^
I love how you draw it's so cute and neat and funny <3

Siiim

Uso basicamente esse processo, mas a partir das ultimas paginas do capitulo 5 ja consigo desenhar tudo digital (o esboço é a unica coisa tradicional) XD
