8:50-8:52 is my fav moment! btw what editing program did u use to make it in those grey tones and highlights?

[ElsonDarkspeedsWong]

Thanks buddy! I used a program called MANGA Studios EX and I extracted the manga tones and speed lines from it. From there I applied on the comic. ;)

if you guys are noticing he's not gonna answer back to u

so I am going to answer the paper question

I do not know what paper he uses but I suggest for sketching use any type of paper and when You wanna work on your comic use Bristol paper you can find some for people in the U.S. at Michael's or at any art store but it doesn't matter what kind of paper you use if you got a scanner then you can just scan the picture in to double sided paper!

[ElsonDarkspeedsWong]

The paper I used was simply A4 copy paper. I'm sure you guys in the States have it! = )

I'm not too sure if what I'm using is Bristol but I'm very sure it's just plain paper you can buy at your local officeworks/newsagent store! XD Cheap and efficient - it gets the job done and that's what matters.

@ElsonDarkspeedsWong Hi I know its been years since this thread was used, but could you tell me if you do indeed use 8.5 x 11inch copy paper, and the comic is 6.4 x 10 inches, does it get a little distorted? I'm relieved to see it's possible to get published without using 11x 17 inch boards and a massive scanner... right?

[ElsonDarkspeedsWong]

@panaceaartist - Good question. Nope you don't need to really invest on a bigger scanner. An A4 sized or US Letter sized piece of paper will do the trick. The thing is make sure you scan it at 300dpi, at minimum, to get the standard you need for professional publication.

The only disadvantage of using smaller paper is being unable to do the finer details when compared to an A3 sized paper (which is twice the size of an A4). ;) Hope that helps!

[Derufu1792]

Elson, I'm a beginner artist n i like to ask something, how will it take me to become a professional artist because i want also to make my own graphic novel someday but i just don't know how to do it. So i taught i would ask to cuz u seem so experienced n i like to know ur secret if u have one. So if u could help me i would really appreciate it, TNKS :>

I use a 0.4 for inking because 0.3 -0.2 is rare here. also a light under the table. GENIUS. Sadly I don't have a glass table so I ink directly and erase the pencil lines. again very nice

[TheBoyInBlack]

for one, reader and photoshop are two completely different programs that have almost nothing to do with each other. just thought i'd get that out of the way.

anyway, you can either buy photoshop or torrent it.

[SuperSonicRULAA]

Man you are the best Sonic character drawer what i have ever seen :D

What is your secret to draw those characters so good.
