i use staedtler pigment liners (.1, 3, 5, and 7) for doing outlines . Before... i used a brush and india ink for large black parts, though now i got my hands onto copic markers i changed to that since it's less messy than loading ink to brushes XDErictheCartoonist wrote:Sometimes the right materials can also help. So Shiei, if you're reading this then don't mind if I ask that when it comes to inking the manga pages and, well, anything else for that matter, what sort of pens do you like to use? I mean what are your favorites?

-_-U well its not like im demanding them i just asked a simple yes or no question if she would be willing to do it or not. im still studing alot of other mangas to see how the jap pros do their stuff(its still difficult when im not looking at something step by step to get the basic build correct).Adam Arnold wrote:Lots of tutorials would take a loooong time to do. Time that Shiei could be drawing Luna and Aoi House... (or playing with her plushies...) ^_^;

We know about the pens and pencils and such, but what about the paper? What kind of paper do you use? (this hasn't been asked, right?) Like the size (regular printer paper or special comic page paper)? Weight (if it even matters)? Etc.
I ask coz there are soooo many opinions out there (but not by pros. not that i could find...) and the people have a right to know! What do the pros at Seven Seas use?!
sugar high. sorry...

Unless you have the equipment to handle something that large, the general rule tends to be... if it can't fit in a scanner, then don't draw on it. ^_-Chrono Clepsydra wrote:I've heard of manga artists drawing on poster boards, and then taking a picture and shrinking the picture.
For American comic books... yes, you do use those large 11â€
