Description
Guess who's having a lot of fun with her new toy? XD<3I just bought Comicworks the other day (I already had the old one, but I only recently realized that the newer version is better, and since it wasn't too expensive, I bought it too.
), and it's LOTS of fun~ 
It is unfortunately far from the wonders I had imagined, (*wanted to get ComicStudio instead, but is low on money* ^-^; ), but it is still a lovely lovely tone program.
*adores the tone brush feature*......... I need more commissions so I can buy some more toys. D: *wants that ComicStudio* XD;;;
There's still a few slots open, everybody!
Grab 'em while they last! XD
*currently doing some commissions for out of DA due to erm, porny content*

Every so often, I feel the need to draw the twins all happy and safely cheerful, to make up for all the pics where they suffer. ;D

Hey I had a question you said you used ComicWorks right? Well I was wondering which was better ComicWorks or MangaStudio? I have never used either, but was wondering.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep. ^^/
MangaStudio is the US release of the japanese program ComicStudio (same program, just translated and renamed), and it's more powerful than Comicworks, but also waaaay more expensive.
However, do keep in mind that I mostly tone on photoshop, have used Comicworks but not as much as PS (I used to tone mostly by hand, only turned to digital recently XD; ), and have only tried ComicStudio/MangaStudio a little bit in a trial thingie. 
Also ComicStudio has something like 3000 tones if I remember well, while Comicworks has less than 250.
However, you don't truly need 3000 tones to get by. XD *lol* It's wonderfully lovely, but not a necessity.
What really concerns me is how well it can switch from a program to the other. The annoying thing with Comicworks is that if you do your whole pic in it, then move to Photoshop to finish it or whatever, then you're fine because it can export the file as a PSD with as many layers as you want........ however, if you started your pic on PS and want to move to Comicworks and keep your layers, you have a problem, because Comicworks will automatically merge them upon importing the pic. This is a very annoying thing, I find.
It's not more annoying because Comicworks is better for lineart, so you tend to start your pic there anyway, but if you move to PS then want to go back, it will merge... Wouldn't be a big issue if I wasn't a layer freak, *lol*. I add text on PS etc, but if I want to go back to Comicworks to edit anything, I lose my layer information.
I hope there's a way to get around this, but so far I haven't found one, and I'm afraid there's none.
If ComicStudio can import PSD files without merging layers, then my doujin life will get even happier and simpler when I finally get it. XD

Well thanks for the reply and I'll keep that in mind. For now I'm going to work on inking with Illustrator. I'm decent in Illustrator, but have never attempted to ink before so this should be a learning experience. I also need to get down anime/manga style characters.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, Illustrator is also something that interests me.
I only got to try it once though, and was horrified by the fact the vector corrected the lines and I couldn't get anything to look the way I wanted, but I'm sure there's a setting for that somewhere. XD; The fact that it's true vector and thus can be resized endlessly without the quality loss of other programs makes it sound quite lovely (if it is indeed as I heard).
I should download a trial sometime, a pity it's such an expensive program.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, Adobe only seems to care about making money and prices their products as such that only companies or professionals can buy. Just to let you know that Illustrator is a little different and may take some time to get used depending on how open to it you are. I know tons of people that hate it and think its a crap version of Photoshop, but I on the other hand understand its differences and like both. So what I'm trying to say is if you try out Illustrator don't get discouraged.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I figured it would be more difficult to get used to at first.
And it's true so many of those products are way overpriced unfortunately. Makes it particularly bad for people starting or people who work freelance etc.
Mac is better for graphics, but I stick to Windows because the prices of software are even worse with Mac. XD;
π: 0 β©: 1
Lol, sorry for all the questions and talk (probably bothering you), but I wanted to know if you used a graphics tablet or a mouse?
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah, not a bother.
I have a Wacom Intuos 3.
It is my beloved, and like an extension of my body. XD; *could give away a kidney but not her lovely tablet* XD;;
There are some people with insane mouse skills who can do incredible things without tablet. But I've drawn by hand my whole life, and thus I really prefer the tablet since the movements and all are much more similar than anything you can do with a mouse.
I also often draw by hand and color on the computer, it depends on the mood of the moment whether I'll be doing my lineart with pen/pencil or digitally.

Again, thanks for telling me I just was wondering because Like you said some people have insane mouse skills. I had some pretty good mouse skills, but for my birthday in Feb. I got my first ever tablet a Graphire4 6x8 and I like it. My only problem now is figuring out what to draw and how to draw it. < Constant Block, can almost never come up with stuff anymore...tis very sad
π: 0 β©: 1
Graphires are pretty nice models from what I've heard!
I used to have an Intuos 2, but the Intuos 3 is so wonderfully delightful to use that I don't think I could go back. Endless love for Wacom tablets!
At first, it's weird, to get used to the tablet. You might experience a phase during which you'll be wondering why you bought it and thinking you can't draw anything with it, but eventually you get used to it. XD; *sucked so much at it for quite a while, still sort of does* XD; I take forever longer to draw by tablet than by hand, but my lazyness to switch on the scanner gets to me. XD *lol* Plus, it's fun!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah I adjusted to the tablet pretty fast, but wish I had stuff to draw.
