\nEarlier this year I picked up a copy of Manga Studio to mess around with.\u00a0 The Debut version of the program was only $25 on Amazon and I figured, well if it doesn’t work out it won’t have cost me too much.\u00a0 I had also seen Doug TenNapel use it in\u00a0a video he posted on Youtube.\u00a0 After buying it I immediately fell in love with it.\u00a0 It is super intuitive, and powerful.\u00a0 It is the most powerful piece of comics software on the market.\u00a0 Period.<\/p>\n

When I started production on The Unknowns bk 1 I orginally wanted to do this entire book digitally, but I was really struggling finding\u00a0the look I wanted.\u00a0 I also struggled mightily with it and using a tablet only to make the comic.\u00a0 It was hurting my wrist something fierce.\u00a0Which I think a\u00a0Cintiq will help\u00a0with down the line.\u00a0Recently I decided to try it out again after a great tutorial session with Stephen McCranie <\/a>one evening.\u00a0 I finally feel like I’ve gotten the hang of it and have been doing all my inks digitally since (wrist feels fine now too).\u00a0 The nice thing is I dont think you see much of a difference between the two other than the Manga Studio version of pages look much cleaner and precise (which I like).\u00a0\u00a0 Here’s an example and little hint of where the book is going:<\/p>\n

It just makes so many things very easy for the comics artist and is made with us in\u00a0 mind.\u00a0 I recommend you picking up a copy of the software, either the debut<\/a> (which TenNapel made all of Ghostopolis<\/a> with) or the awesome EX version<\/a>.\u00a0 The EX version is well worth the money if you can afford it for things like perspective rulers and 3d model importing that you can use for modeling.\u00a0 Give this software a run guys!<\/p>\n

Here’s some videos\u00a0of Doug TenNapel being awesome with it:<\/p>\n
