Many thanks! I probably wasn't the only one asking, but certainly I made a topic asking about the computer side of drawing manga. I went down to WHSmiths the other day and picked up the mag to have a look. Thanks very much for the tip! ________ Suburban

Ha! Sorry for the slight deviation from the subject - I just noticed that Ikari2001's status (as in all that number of posts class jazz like Gunbuster and State Alchemist etc...) is currently "first child". Anyway, I found that to be a funny coincidence, even if it doesn't quite fit. To...

I had the impression the scenes were more about the major's character and the strange way in which she treated her body - as a shell rather than part of herself. I tended to think of scenes like that as a way of expressing those associations rather than simply being a lesbian scene for the sake...

Excellent! Good to hear. I'm sure that if you're really into the drawing and want to produce professional quality pics without the mouse hassle, then the top of the range tablets are the way to go, but for somebody like me with just a passing interest would be best advised to steer clear of the...

As this isn't something I'm ever going to be able to pursue as a career, I'll have to limit my spending. The kind of thing I had in mind was this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wacom-Volito-2- ... &s=gateway The reviews seem pretty good. Thanks though for the continuing advice. You're all...

Thanks all! I'll see how it goes with Elements (as you say, a cut down version of photoshop). I've been told elsewhere that it'll do what I need, but the guy telling me, despite being very intelligent, may not know all that much about manga drawing. Who knows? He might be right, I'll wait and...

Update In the end, I went for Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. I read excellent reviews about it and have been told that it'll do everything I need it to. It seemed to me to be a decent, relatively cheap, legal alternative to the full version. If it can't cut it, then I'll probably have to go for...

Many thanks once again! For now, I've just been continuing with sketch work, creating a few more pics based on existing art. but hopefully this weekend will allow more time to start fiddling with the computer side of manga drawing. ________ Lsd rehab forum

Ha! Brilliant! No joke - I just literally went to that exact tutorial about two minutes ago. I was just searching on google and it came up near the top. Thanks muchly though for pointing it out - it reassures me that it's a tutorial worth reading. Thanks also for the PSP reassurance. If the...

Many thanks! That's good to know. Does Paint Shop Pro 8 have the ability to do things like extracting objects from their backgrounds, or creating transparencies somehow. I'm told that to colour manga pics, the best thing to seperate the line drawing from it's background. Is that all possible...

If it helps, the kind of thing I am trying to accomplish is something of similar quality to Siobhan's very impressive: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/31580686/ At the moment I have only one line drawing: http://www.maths.bath.ac.uk/~ma0pnt/manga/firstmangapice.html I've put my...

Hi! Thanks again to those who helped me select the right pencils for drawing manga. I've now created my first picture (just a face) and have scanned it onto PC. It isn't really "inked" enough to start colouring I think, but to be honest, I don't know where to start for that anyway, which is why...

Thanks! Brilliant! That's really helpful, thanks both! I might pick up a few pens and pencils this weekend at WHSmiths then in preparation for the book's arrival, then start doing a few basic sketches. Thanks again! I'm just going to jot down your advice and take it with me tomorrow...

Ola! I just bought a book about manga drawing as I thought it'd be good fun to try, but it occurs to me that I have no proper pencils and other bits and bobs. So, tomorrow I'll probably head down to town and try to pick up a few useful tools. However, I was hoping for some advice on which ones...

Maybe they collected the alternate versions / director's cut episodes onto the final disc to keep them seperate. Seems unlikely though. If the platinum collection arrives as a boxset, you'd expect the discs to undergo the least number of changes possible. As mentioned above, maybe the text...

Telepathy Ha! That's brilliant, three with a telepathic connection, great stuff! I'm also glad there was a vote in the "understanding Japanese" category. Anyway, back to business, it looks like an even split between dubs and subs now for Evangelion, suggesting its a better dub than most...

Telepathy So far nobody has claimed to have a telepathic connection. Not surprising I guess, but it would have been cool. Still, despite the small number of results, early indications are that subtitles are favoured over dubs for this particular anime. ________ Bmw k1200gt history

Hi! Thanks first of all to everyone who helped me when I first started getting into Neon Genesis Evangelion. Second, apologies to everyone who is tired of the subs vs dubs debate. This is not supposed to carry the general debate on, I just wondered what your preferences were regarding these...
