It looks like I’m just going to be almost two days late with both my posts this week. Since 24-hour comic book day started today at 10 am, some of my cartoonist friends and I decided to hole up in my studio at my new place and spend all day drawing comics (we’re calling it 16-hour comic book day – 10 am to 2 am!).

Because I’ve discovered that I can produce comics three to four times faster on the computer than on paper, I downloaded Manga Studio 4 the nite before last and finally got to start messing around with it today. This is my first drawing with the program:

The algorithms that it uses for the various nibs and markers feel really realistic, altho the tapering effect is annoying. I’ll have the final product up sometime after 2 am!
