Loved the pages and was excited to read you had done them digitally from the ground up.<br /><br />The "zoom in @ 100% to get a true line" has been a true pain in the neck for years. Unfortunately it's a necessary evil in Photoshop. I love having an eye or finger nail completely fill my field of vision when working on a 300dpi file . . . not.<br /><br />I -believe- there's a solution in Manga Studio. The "G Nib" and other pens are unbelievebly smooth and offer fantastic line weight variation. One can also work out the linework in vector - I think.<br /><br />I've literally just cracked open the program but it looks promising. Look up "Scribbles with Jonathan" or Jonathan Rector on Youtube:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQugwShv_9E&feature=g-all-u<br /><br />He's got several vids out on his transfer over from Photoshop to Manga Studio.<br /><br />Would love to talk shop about this - See what you're up to with your own digi-inks - and will send some personal explorations with M Studio over the next week or so . . ..John Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049499501840202669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997084117985486641.post-43937123443848150952012-11-01T19:25:58.597-07:002012-11-01T19:25:58.597-07:00I love this John.

My Gladiatrix comic pages were the first time I did full digital lines (ie no pencil, no scanned ink) and I still struggle with how to gain the steady line: zoom in and you smooth the line but can't see the work, zoom out to complete a stroke and get the wiggle. <br />It was something I wanted to ask Vlad more about before he passed. <br />tThird Rail Design Labhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247830029557429684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997084117985486641.post-74384623602811269432012-11-01T14:20:24.511-07:002012-11-01T14:20:24.511-07:00Beautiful sketch you did in his honor, John.
