Making a comic
Added 2016-02-04 00:46:31 +0000 UTCHere's a few screenshots from the making of "The Rules of Crayons"
(The assembly looks a little rough, but I plan to do this more often so I'll get some more practice)

I do still save different file types/sizes in PS, but otherwise I also prefer MS5 tools for paneling and word balloons. The new balloon options are fast and versatile. But, I do agree that it's about preference - hand drawn may take longer but it certainly does give you a more personalized look.

2016-02-05 00:57:14 +0000 UTCIt's just personal preference thing. I don't really like to mess with vector word balloons and such (I'd prefer to just hand draw what I can), and photoshop lets me see the different font types before I choose them. Also I find it a little easier to crop and edit file sizes/types on photoshop.

2016-02-04 21:26:33 +0000 UTCI'm really surprised that you still assemble the panels and add the dialogue in Photoshop now that you've got Manga Studio 5. I found that once I'd overcome the learning curve for panel-cutting and dialogue folders in MS4 that I felt it really sped up the creation process. When I upgraded to MS5 I was really happy that they seemed to have improved on those tools quite a lot. You no longer have to manually create a dialogue folder to get vector word balloons to join, and they added several more natural/intuitive ways to draw the balloon shapes (you don't use balloons, so it makes sense you wouldn't notice those in particular). I still think they could be better, but at this point I have really only small nitpicks with them in MS5.
