How to Draw Manga ! 10 minutes video.

( scusate, non avevo voglia di tradurre questo post in italiano. )


Hi. I decided to make a video about how i (will) make manga. It's an overwiew on the entire workflow, with few explanations. I hope the people of youtube will appreciate it. Here i will explain, as in the movie, each process.





Process 1: the sketch
Making the sketch is one of the most important and difficult things. I have to improve a lot with it too, anyway, the sketch will decide how the drawing will be. I usually do like this, in layers:

a first sketching layer
a body Layer
a clothes Layer.

then, when everything is ok, i do the lineart.


Process 2: the lineart.

Usually i spend a lot of time doing this, but in this movie i couldnt. So i ended up doing it so fast! Some tips and tricks i can give you about Manga studio: if you want to modify something you did wrong ( you want stretch something, for example) just select the part, and then press CTRL+T (transform) it is easy and fast.

Process 3: toning.

Well toning is almost like coloring. All you got to do is :

1. drag on the drawing the tones you want (it will create a tone layer), then
2. select all on that layer with CTRL+A,
3. delete all with DEL,
4. deselect all with CTRL+D and then,
   
5. start to "color"!

Process 4: finishing

Well, you can add baloons, texts, etc, and add some "crash!, BANG!, Boom!!" words in Photoshop, drawing them with the tablet, after you exported the image.
