yo josh, i was just curious, how do you create your comics? like, how do you color it etc...

I draw a four panel template, and then make xerox copies of that. With that, they panels will always be the same size.Next I draw in pencil what I want. If it's good, I go on, if it's bad I chuck it and start over.I take out a light box and go over the characters with my graphic pen.When everything is ok, I scan it with a black and white drawing setting (not a black and white photo).In photoshop, I color it in, try to fix a few things up (even though I really don't), and arrange things the way I want it, if it's not good enough yet.Then I send the file to illustrator and add the text and word bubbles.I send it back to photoshop and save the file as a .gif I upload it, and I'm set to go.

Say there, what pen do you use?

JoshGuy · Post by **JoshGuy** » Mon Apr 23, 2001 5:25 am

It differs. Right now I'm using a Pigma graphic pen.Every graphic pen I've used has really good ink, but they dry out too fast!
