  Hmmm... I normally just draw straight to paper, but, too many smudges at the end of the finished product. So I think on my next book I'm going to do it the way you suggested. I do have a light box, and you know that comes in handy! I wish I had a scanner though cause sometimes when I'm sketching I draw the perfect pic but it needed to be bigger, Or I would like to recycle faces just make them bigger or smaller. Basically anything that saves time.... and money.(Cause comic boards are expensive)
  I was thinking about blue pencils but your way seems better. I normally trace from a light box for small corrections on a page but i never traced a whole page before. But I'm definitely going to go that route.
  When it comes to inking, I do it by hand. I'm pretty good at it. For now I'm too old school to put it to a computer, but when I have some time I would have to practice that, I'm not familiar with the different art software. By the way your inks are awesome. You're really good^_^

  I never use blue pencils cause my pencils aren't neat enough, and when they're in blue, it's much harder to chose the best line (too complicated). I use regular mechanical pencils (#5-#7) on cheap 11x17 copy paper, then ink those pencils onto clean comic paper with a lightbox. Do you have a lightbox? (I used to use a window pane with a spot light underneath!) It's best to scan the inks and make necessary corrections with a digital art program like photoshop. You can neaten anything or make tone adjustments.

  I'm thinking about changing my pencils. Do you use the blue pencil or regular when you draw? Because sometimes for me...on a couple of pages that I have I think there are too many smudges on it for the page to be of any print use.

  Hi Kyle, I first draw and ink on comic paper, scan, then import into photoshop to clean up line art. I import that into Manga Studio where I add tones and dialogue. Some ppl ink right into the manga studio program, but it never worked well for me. Plus, I can't get the smooth lines in MS as I do in photoshop.

  Thanks so much! It's always best to go forwards and not backwards, but hopefully I'll get there. God bless!
