Instead of Bristol board paper can watercolor paper be good for drawing comics

[Samuel2236]

My problem is I already know how to draw, ink, color, and do the texts and story, but im cant seem to find what size your paper needs to be at when you scan it so you can have a consistant size for all your pages and what are some companies I could go through for printing my comic?

[skullbeastuberon]

What is the software for coloring the comic?

[fullboxxskater]

can you use bristol board with a light box?

[Captstar2]

I just use computer copy paper, a number 2 pencil, ink, prisma markers, and comic life for the panels and letters(because I can't write in those small bubbles I make). Terrible at it. However I would like to learn how to use photoshop or some digital art site to make my characters really look like cartoon characters colored and inked professional like the character in real comics and TV.

Only thing that you need, is Manga Studio and some G-Tablet.
