what program (if u use one) do u use for your comi

[Borgona]

???I was wondering what program you use to make the comic. I know you must draw it by hand and then scan it, but the rest looks like it's done on computer. ;D

As I'm not quite sure what Tom uses, you'd best wait for an answer from him on that, but most comics use Adobe Photoshop for coloring and touching up images. Some, like VG Cats also use Adobe Illustrator. Also, for image coloring, there is a program called Painter that is put out by Corel (I believe).

If you can't afford Photoshop (costs like 300-400 dollars) thereis a program called GIMP that you can download for free. I'm not sure where, but you can google it, if you want it.


EDIT - PS, welcome to the forums. ;D

Yes, Tom uses Photoshop.

I have PhotoDeluxe BE, but I can't edit anything, so I use MS Paint. LOL

And why FAQ? Comic discussion, or MAYBE drawing board.

Well, i figured, since it's a question, and the board is "Frequently Asked Questions" it kind of fit.

I mean this is a pretty frequently asked question.

Ok, so people often use potoshop. But how do they color eeach frame? What tool do they use? Paintbrush? And how do they get the outlines to stand out so well. I know that you're supposed to ink your comic after you draw it with pencil, but do they somehow enhance the outline?
