Wow, I want... maybe after I work on my drawing style more, and get money for that. Seems cheaper in the long run then importing all those Japanese manga supplies.

The only way I see myself using that is if I draw and ink on paper, scan it, and then use that software for tones and cleaning up inking.

I just dont see a way to substitute this for old-fashioned inking.

This would be most helpful for making Resident Duo look even cooler.

Don't worry littlegreenwolf, Fred Gallagher (sorry if I spelled his name wrong), doesn't ink his work, mostly because it would take longer and it would be like drawing it twice, so, he just cleaned it up. And look where he is today! Surprised

One word.

*Pencil

*Scanner

*Bezier curves

Ok, so its 4 but whatever.

Plus it's a pain to make your own screentones on Paint programs, If it came with the screentones, I'd be a really happy person.

I think paint does do that, but I think it's for black and white drawings. That's an unsure thought though. Confused

you make the lines black and white and the "homemade textures" can be anycolor you want them to be. It being manga you make it grays, and blacks. Once you make a texture it has one color or a gradient color that you make.

But I don't like all that stuff so manga software that has alot of textures is a good thing.
