Hey everybody..
I apologize for not having updated in a while… again. In fact, THIS update was supposed to be posted weeks ago. I just haven't had the time to just sit down and type anymore. I do when I'm at work, but I keep forgetting what the topics were. Ah well. Better late than never, right?
Anywho, I have a few questions for you guys. I'd love your help with these things, so here I go:
1. I'm trying to get back into drawing comics again. I was wondering what the best program out there is for doing this. I've been asking around for the opinions of my favorite Artists and most of them went with Manga Studio, Paint Tool SAI and PhotoShop. A few of them even said they're still Traditional.
My question is: What do you guys think is the best program out there when it comes to drawing comics? What do you recommend I use? Do you think i should do Traditional comics as well as Digital?
Panelling is a big deal for me. So, if you guys have any tips, that'd be a great help.
2. My old PC laptop is just about done for. It's over 4 years old and its basically useless. I've done everything I could to save it: Fix the fan; Clean it; Free a ton of disk space.. It's time is up. Anywho, I've been trying to use my MacBook Pro to draw digitally and that's not working out so well either. For some reason, my pics have been coming out really light (despite how much pressure I use). And, due to the fact that I'm saving up for a trip to the States in August, I won't be able to buy a new laptop for a really long time. So I will have to revert back to using good ol' pen and paper.
My question is: To those of you I owe Art to… would you mind just getting sketches from me? I got myself a set of Faber Castel markers not too long ago and I wouldn't mind coloring them as well. So how about it? Let me know, please.
3. My 3rd question kinda stems from my 1st one. Since my Mac is the only good laptop I have for the time being, I've been using that and drawing with SketchBook Pro. But (as I said before) my pictures have been coming out light. I'm not sure if this is because of the settings I have for my tablet or what, but until I can figure it out: What program do you guys prefer I use? That I can install on my MacBook Pro and is NOT a vector program..
Your input/opinions/suggestions are highly appreciated.
I'd also like to thank everyone for your patience and support. I know it's been a while since I've posted. I truly apologize for that. A lot has been going on the past few weeks, but things are finally starting to wind down… kinda.
Been looking for apartments lately 'cause I'm gonna be moving out of the Dorms soon, so that's gonna keep me offline for a while.
Otherwise, that's all I got for now. Thanks again! Until next time. L8r.
