do eet. i'm willing to bet that no matter the program you're using you'll find someone here who knows how to use it like second nature. pent's got Paintshop Pro, bella has Photoshop, i have GIMP, and Aurora has Inkscape/Illustrator (not sure which, i think it's inkscape; i have inkscape too but i'm less masterful than her).


i've undertaken a challenge to make a guy on gaia laugh. this is my first attempt, drew it in about an hour and a half.

Aurora uses Inkscape, as did I for a number of years. But yeah Leaf, Choco is right, if you need any pointers on Photoshop or Inkscape I could probably help you out. For the record, I started out doing art on a very simple image editing program (I believe it was called Picture It?), moved up to Photoshop 5 (Or was it 7? I honestly forget at this point), then onto GIMP, Inkscape, and eventually Photoshop CS4, and I've also used SAI a bit as well. It's mostly a matter of finding a program that looks like it will fit your needs, and then messing around with it until you get a handle on all the different options and tools (and looking for tutorials when you're unsure / confused about something).

@Choco: That comic is very cute! I love the kitty's expressions in the first and last panel. >^^<


Finished PDP-8-tan, LINC-tan and baby PDP-12-tan picture.... check out the fullsized version too, since there are a lot of hand-drawn patterns in this.

[Chocofreak13]

sweeeet, we finally get a colour version! checking the fullsize now.

thanks for the props man. i was considering doing it in colour, but i got lazy, and then thought grayscale was outside my norm anyway so it was a good change of pace. -w-

I use SAI primarily for sketching and coloring and Photoshop primarily for effects.
And going by my recent endeavors, looks like I'll be using MangaStudio (JP: ComicStudio) for lineart.

[Chocofreak13]

aw man, did you buy it? i was thinking of torrenting it, so if i ever get my hands on a copy can you give me some pointers? :0

[alfonso_rd_30]

well, I am more a pixel artist, so I use paint a lot... alongside PSP for palette work and PS for comic translation...

[Chocofreak13]

i think it's cool that we have such a varied bunch here. no matter what kind of art you choose, you're bound to find an expert on it here. ^^

[alfonso_rd_30]

it is... we all are kinda tech support on our area of expertise...

I like that way of looking at it. X)

@Bella: Nice. Also, given the era they existed, it draws a parallel with the yuri I'm writing :3

@Kari: Bert posted your drawing in a topic of livestream fanart on the DC Forums :3
Also, I love the Aces High drawing
