Here's some tips I found for using Manga Studio. I can't remember where I got this, but I know I didn't write it. It's not nessasarily the best way to do things (especially like shading and lightingIt was helpful though so here it is:
Coloring:----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Select full color pallet Put color layer underneath all layers Use "Brush" tool to paint Add a darker color for shading Dodge tool for hghlights Burn tool for shadows color blender to smooth Panels:------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Create a panel ruler layer Cut panels (you can change line and gutter width. 45degree keeps lines straight) Ruler -> expand panel to make it go off the page Rastorise layer Toning:------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Select a drawing tool (marker, brush, ect) Paste the tone on the page Press Alt+A Delete the tone Use the drawing tool you had to paint tone Use the eraser to add light and opacity for hue Add a tone to a layer Go to layer properties change the layer to color You can change the layer color to make color tones Scanning Lineart:--------------------------------------------------------------------- Scan in image. You need a higher dpi for a smaller paper You can use Photoshop to adjust the image Adjust brightness to get rid of spots Adjust Auto Levels to increse black (image-adjustments-autolevels) Blur the whole image a few times to smooth (Filter-Blur-blur) Use elipse, box and line tools to clean up messy shapes/lines |
