YouTube and Website Researching- Major Project

YouTube and Website Researching 

Hello guys,
Since I am making my own manga, I will have to use different materials and software including; ink pigment pens with different pigment sizes, Deleter manga paper which has measurements on it to draw the comic panels and Photoshop to adjust and play with the effects of the pages to make them look better.  I have researched artists using AutoDesk Sketchbook, Photoshop and traditional artwork through YouTube. 

Researching Websites:





 I have researched different software for my project such as: AutoDesk Sketchbook and Photoshop since I might use them for my manga process to have a finished piece.  I can use AutoDesk Sketchbook for inking my characters by scanning my manga page and do all the inking digitally while I can use Photoshop for upgrading the quality of the page by playing with the light and more.  

I think I can benefit from inking using a software instead of traditional inking because if I make mistakes digitally it can be fixed by pressing simply 2 buttons (Ctrl+Z) while if I mess up traditionally I will have to restart everything again.

YouTube Researching:




Here I have looked at an artist using Sketchbook Pro (AutoDesk Sketchbook is the free version of Sketchbook Pro since I cannot afford Sketchbook Pro for the moment).  This artist made me inspired to actually try this software since it seemed simpler to use than Photoshop because it has a simpler UI.




After that, I have researched a Photoshop artist to see how they use the brushwork and sketching using a graphic tablet such as: Wacom.  I think that Photoshop is quite hard for people who are still beginners in the digital art industry since there is so much to do in it. 


Then, I have looked at this manga artist's recommendation, usage and tutorial of the deleter manga paper.  I think that this paper is really useful for me since it will help me out with the the size of my manga page and panels since it already has measurements on it.



Here I have researched this artist since he drew everything traditionally using pencil, ink pigment pens and colours.  Drawing traditionally using this type of media is my comfortable zone since I have been doing this type of art style for 2 years.

Ordering my Deleter Manga paper from Amazon:




Yesterday which was Sunday, I have ordered deleter manga paper from 'Amazon.co.uk' and I am expecting to get them today at 4 pm since I have been tracking the product using the Amazon tracking page.
