I’m still playing around with Manga Studio 5 as a digital coloring tool. I did this study of a few panels from Jason Latour’s art in the comic “Southern Bastards.” The comic is great by the way and you should read it if you’re in the mood for some good pulp eighties action movie style fiction. Below you can see a picture of my study on the monitor next to the actual comic page in digital form on an iPad.
I’ve finally started learning how to use Manga Studio 5 which I invested in to see how it would do as a Photoshop alternative. It was very intuitive and has everything a comic artist needs for coloring which is all I’ve attempted at this point.
The above images are studies of a Guillaume Singelin illustration from his “Southern Tales” series which I found in his excellent book of sketches Junky. Below is a poorly filtered image I took from the book itself. This was a lot of fun to do and it was a good way to start learning a new program.
