"THE DOCTOR IS IN..."

Finally.

After stretching the thumbnails for the Doc Bizarre M.D. one-shot into a 60+ page OGN, I've begun the arduous task of inking. I'm attempting digital inks, though it's making me miss my Tombos something fierce. I feel like I'm deadening the energy of my drawings too much. I'm sure I'll eventually loosen up, but how many pages will suffer before I do?

I have a quick question if that's cool. What brushes do you use?(digital brushes that is) I've been looking for a Photoshop brush that mimicks an actual brush, and your digital inks look great! Thanks in adavance.

Hey there; first Scott:

Utilizing one of the preinstalled calligraphy/slanted brush presets, I then tweaked and tweaked it in Brush Tip Shape until I found the closest thing to my Tombo I could. I think the exact title is something like "Brush Tool Hard Elliptical 30 1". Make sure you then SAVE IT as a Tool Preset. That being said, I need to continuously adjust the angle and roundness as I'm inking--so that the tip is facing the way I want it to. Still not perfect.

Hey Marco--as for Manga Studio: I just bought that program a month or so ago. I still haven't even figured out the basics. Dan Davis, who inks all my Batman Brave and the Bold stuff, swears by it though. It looks awesome, I'm just waiting for a time when I won't be too frustrated to figure it out.

Hope this helped. As always, thanks for reading.
