This is a special month for maniccomics.com. On November 22nd we will be celebrating our 1st birthday.
This has been a been a good year, we’ve gotten over 50 thousand visitors from over 100 countries.
Thank you all for visiting maniccomics.com and stay tuned for a special birthday strip that will be posted on November 22nd.
I will be giving away a free maniccomics.com cup to a lucky liker on Facebook as soon as I reach 200 likes and again at 400 likes. The cups will be hand drawn by me so no two cups will be identical
Now I’ve had the Wacom Bamboo tablet for little over two weeks and I have been experimenting with all kinds of settings.
My conclusion is that digital painting with the tablet is a lot of fun, but I have not been able to use the tablet as well in my comic.
I have been testing the tablet with Photoshop and Illustrator, and I must say that I haven’t gotten a hold on the brushes which is my own fault since I tend to have shaky hands, which makes it difficult to draw with regular brushes in Photoshop and Illustrator. There is a Calligraphic brush set in that automatically smoothes your line which is very nice except that it adapts too much. For example, if you draw a box the box almost turns into a circle.
There is probably some configuration I need to find but I haven’t had any luck finding it.
I enjoy drawing on the tablet and it will take a lot of practice to develop some skills.
All tips are greatly appreciated
