Drawing Mashiro - Manga/Anime on Photoshop

Me drawing Mashiro from Bakuman(Great manga. Read it.) on Photoshop Elements 5.0. Sorry WMM squished it, but you can see the final outcome at the end normally. Keep in mind that this is just a quick scribble and that it is in no way top quality work. If I line it later, I'll post a link to it on DA here.

Hint for everyone: Use Corel painter for your line-art. Color with Photoshop. Corel painter is WAY better for line-art, the strokes are a lot more expressive.

@Bidon45 Personally, I use Paint Tool SAI for line art. C: I hate doing line art in photoshop.

I have no problem drawin on photoshop but what brush settings do u use? because I want the brush sharp and thin on each end and normal in the middle. A bit like Flash

[MyHeroKai]

@Stormhound930 I just used the default round brush on 100% sharpness. If you have a specific idea in mind, you can try making your own brush. I'm not sure if there's one already on there that'll turn out looking like flash. D: Photoshop's brushes always look a bit soft to me (that's why I prefer inking in SAI), so it might be difficult to achieve the flash-like effect you're looking for...

What program do you use? I used manga .5 or something like that. Not as good as you but just about getting there... Great job with everything.... I enjoyed watching- manuel

@mmanzo50 This was drawn in Photoshop Elements 5.0, but I also use Paint Tool SAI a lot as well.

Woot! Bakuman ftw!

I want to be a mangaka, but after I watched Bakuman, I was like.... damn... even if you're submitting your manga weekly/monthly... if your work got negative feedback... that's it... you're out... you have to come up with new fresh ideas for your manga... in the anime, the mangaka who are still new are called the 'gambler'... your mind have to be so damn creative and talented to come up with awesome stuff... I wish I was born in Japan so it would be a bit easy for me to be in the mangaka business

i watched this video and drew it on a piece of paper i didn't know i was that good but it looks exactly like the end result

@airgearbleachfan yeah I could write, I did allot of writing during my free time and my stories are based on japanese highschool type like romance and stuff

@MyHeroKai thats a good option too for line-art, both sai and painter are a lot better than PS for lines.
