I think also the directness of being in ink is good for you. You're using a lot of lost line instead of noodling line. What is left is much stronger. I think you're going places .
Kind of a drag I think by doing that. Lots of what I find in EX4 more intuitive, yet 5 just messes all that up. It a new program altogether. It has a major paint function now but the stuff I like in EX4 is so radically altered it's annoying. I'll stick to EX4 for now until I figure it all out, then I'll move on to 5. Hell, I got them super cheap too. I paid far less for 5 that EX4. Go figure.
I've had the same photoshop for so long they are now GIVING IT AWAY. PS2. Someone tweeted a link to where to get it free. But like my old photoshop, there are things I probably don't need in 5. Other than all those brushes Frenden is churning out that only work with 5. I was thinking that I'll probably do a hybrid anyway. Just do my lines, panel balloons in manga studio. Generate a nice high rez bw bitmap and take that into photoshop.
Looking good, sir!
ReplyDeleteLooks cool. The symmetry is obviously something you're going to like anyway. Did you buy the Frenden brushes

ReplyDeleteYes, Rick sent me the link.
ReplyDeleteThe symmetry ruler is perfect for my designs
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone. So I won't restate it here. Keep pushing, Jim!
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI Manga Studio 5 is a COMPLETE overhaul from 4. Looks more like Photoshop now.
ReplyDeleteI'm using ex4. I guess I'm left out.
ReplyDeleteI have both. EX4 is different from 5
ReplyDeleteI got MS4 on sale and I liked it well enough, but Jim is right... 5 was a substantial overhaul.
